Wonder weeks 15-19 – (4-5 months) Events Baby is learning to recognize cause and effect, and to predict outcomes (i.e. ‘If I drop this toy, it will fall to the ground, and dad will come and pick it up and I can put it in my mouth’). You now experience the 4 month sleep regression period! If baby’s sleep was predictable up to this point, it may all fall apart now. Baby will now begin rolling from tummy to back and have significant improvement in most all skills. This is a DEVELOPMENTAL spurt. Physically, baby will go thru a growth spurt about this time, too. Continue to work on building consistent sleep routines. Including baby massage, especially at bedtime after the bath and before feeding, will help baby learn that certain events mean sleep-time is coming. They are often more than ready and welcome it. It’s like giving them permission to relax and rest after their long event-filled day.
