Has your baby suddenly woken up at night crying like it\u2019s the end of the world?<\/span><\/p>\n

Something that parents have experienced a lot with their infants, typically babies that are between <\/span>2-5 months old<\/b>, is that the baby wakes up crying hysterically after they have been put down to sleep for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

The crying can be quite loud and shrill, and frustrating for the parents because it’s sudden and there doesn\u2019t seem to be a logical explanation for the baby crying.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what the problem could be:<\/span><\/p>\n

4-month sleep regression<\/span><\/h3>\n

This sounds intense, but the 4-month sleep regression is a <\/span>phenomenon<\/span><\/a> that marks a permanent change in your baby\u2019s sleep cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

In simple words, this means that your baby\u2019s brain has matured, and their sleeping patterns have become more adult-like. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before your baby slept deeply, but after turning 4 months, they will now cycle between light and deep sleep. <\/span><\/p>\n

And till they get used to switching cycles, they will wake up in the middle of the night, or even naps, crying inconsolably.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as long as you stick to your schedule, it should pass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teething<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can try checking the baby\u2019s gums for any little teeth peeking through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Babies can start teething after 4 months, and it is a very painful process for them to go through.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing you can do is give them some teething toys, or rub something cold on their gums to soothe them till they fall back asleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overtiredness<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your baby wakes up crying at the same hour each night, this could mean they are overtired by the time they fall asleep and cannot go in deep sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this, you can try tweaking their sleep schedule and putting them to bed earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also have their feed ready before their crying starts, so it will put them back to sleep quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purple crying<\/span><\/h3>\n

Purple crying<\/span><\/a> does not mean that your baby cries till they turn purple. It is an acronym that describes inconsolable crying for hours with nothing actually being wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Babies go through this phase anywhere between 2 weeks to 4 months of age. <\/span>This may be incredibly frustrating for parents, but we hope you find solace in the fact that it is temporary.<\/span><\/p>\n
