I use the app. We have had like one week of craziness then a happy week. Back and forth...back and forth!! I put in her actual birthday because she seems to match up to that better.

Ok, I just got the app. It says 5 days left for us. He has been VERY clingy lately and has made it difficult to get much done when we are home. He hasn't been sleeping well at night either. The last couple of nights have been better though, aside from crankiness from his 4 month shots yesterday. I'm hoping that it means that we are on the tail end of it for real. At least until the next one.
I don't have the app but good god Lucian has been insane. He went from mostly happy to just impossible, cranky all the time and sleeping even more horribly. We had one day where it seemed like he was back to his old self, and then he got sick. So I have no idea, hopefully he'll be a happy guy again once he kicks this cold.

Oh leap four was soooooo bad! I use the app. He follows it fairly close. We just ended like... three days ago, I think. He just started getting back to his typical sleep patterns. Hang in there!

Leap 4 sucks for sleep and having free hands. I *think* we're getting over the worst of it as L will finally sleep again at night (back to 2-4 wake ups instead of refusing to ever be set down). Naps are still a disaster.
On the bright side I like that she's mastered most of the developmental things it says she's supposed to achieve during this leap.
Fuck the 4th leap. That's all I have to say about that. I must have blocked out all these leaps from mind with DD1 because I don't remember it being this bad.

We are in the beginning of this bs. I don't have the app but I really would like to switch with whoever took my happy boy and left me with this non-sleeping, crying child. I don't remember this with my older three so I am losing my mind with the clinginess because it makes dd2 think she needs more attention and at some point, I seriously just want to be alone!
App says we have 11 more days, but I think she started a week early. Last week she cut her MOTN feedings for 4-5 to 2 - thank you sweet baby jesus! But my parents said she was clingy yesterday, and would only sleep in their arms. One step at a time a guess.
App says 1 day left - OMG I hope it's right! DD slept through the entire 4th leap so I had no idea what I was in for when DS started it. Although he wasn't a great sleeper before the leap so who knows if it'll really get better any time soon. Crossing my fingers that the magic app knows something I don't!
Fuck the 4th leap. That's all I have to say about that. I must have blocked out all these leaps from mind with DD1 because I don't remember it being this bad.
Right??? I do not remember this. It must be nature's way of ensuring we make more.

I have that same rule but felt like it was worth it to me. Just knowing when they're coming, what to look out for, etc has been helpful. Also helps me know my baby isn't broken and the behaviors are got a greater purpose!

We just finished and sweet baby raptor Jesus am I happy. I can deal with daytime crankiness, but those MOTN wake ups when not even nursing calmed her down were horrific. I just had to keep telling myself it would eventually end.

I can't wait til it's over! Apparently we have until Saturday. I can't wait to get more than 2 hours of sleep again! Part of me is scared this is just the new normal!

Re-- free hands-- so far this leap has been the best reason to babywear yet! I don't know how we'd survive this leap plus care for my toddler if it weren't for the Ergo.

That thought haunts me in my (minimally existent) sleep.

Just downloaded the app and it said 23 more days. Fuck. Not that we were doing great with sleep before but she is also teething her ass off so no sleep and a cranky/clingy baby. I feel so bad for her because I know she is hurting but I also feel bad for me.
Well it says I'm done as of today and DS is pretty cheerful (altho he's always happy in the mornings). I just hope he goes back to sleeping a bit better at night. It would probably help if I could wake up enough to actually put him back in the cosleeper after I feed him.
