3 Almost 4 Month Old Sleeping Habits

i have a 3 1/2 month twins and they sleep all night just wake up at 4:30 am and they go to sleep

Avoid nighttime diaper changes if at all possible. Let him know that night is for sleeping

Follow a consistent bedtime routine. Try relaxing favorites such as bathing, cuddling, singing or reading. Soon your baby will associate these activities with sleep. If you play bedtime music, choose the same tunes each time you put your baby in the crib.
Put your baby to bed drowsy but awake. This will help your baby associate bed with the process of falling asleep. Remember to place your baby to sleep on his or her back, and clear the crib or bassinet of blankets and other soft items.
Give your baby time to settle down. Your baby may fuss or cry before finding a comfortable position and falling asleep. If the crying doesn't stop, speak to your baby calmly and stroke his or her back. Your reassuring presence may be all your baby needs to fall asleep.

I went though the same thing with one of mine.You could try wrapping him up tight like he was newborn,it worked for me.They get used to being warm and snuggled.And we dont have to eat in the middle of the night and they dont either,at least that is what my pedi said. she said if they have to have something and the binki wont work give them water,they will get used to not feeding and sleep all night. good luck

I strongly suggest the book, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Weissbluth. This book addresses all ages. Sleep is VERY important, and the ability to learn to fall asleep on one's own is a necessary life skill. My pedistrican recommended this book to me - and my 10 and 7 year olds are still fabulous sleepers (.... oh no - it did NOT start off that way!!!). A very dear friend of mine also used this book, and her college age daughter is still a wonderful sleeper.

Good Luck!

My very humble opinion? It is never ever okay to let a child cry himself back to sleep, especially not a baby. Sure, eventually he'll learn that nobody is coming to help him & give up; the crying will stop & everyone will get some sleep. But not the way I'd want my babies to learn to sleep. Check out Dr. Sears' The Baby Sleep Book & before you decide that nasty ol' Ferber's method is good for your kiddo, google "cry it out" to read about all the studies that say it's not such a good idea.

Let him stay in his bed, but just get up and put the pacifier in his mouth, and hold it for a bit, and within a week or so , he will probably not need it or find it himself. And at this age, I gave my babies rice cereal the last feeding of a night and they slept until 5 or 6, and then soon longer. As you say each is different, but if you get to sleep all night until 5, it seems like a good night sleep at this age.
