Sleep regression in almost 4 month old...wt heck??

DD started sleeping through the night at six weeks from 830 to 630 am. All of a sudden last Thursday, she wakes at exactly 200am..i cannot get her to go back to sleep and i didnt want to start with the nighttime feedings again because i felt that it was just a behavioral thing. Since i couldnt get her to go back to sleep I gave her a 7 oz bottle, and she drank the entire thing and went back to bed until 730am.

what the heck is going on? growth spurt?

she is a beast with food for the most part...she will have between 35 and 42 ozs of formula a day. I started cereal a month ago, (no flames please) but not really consistent. Beginning today, i will be consistent with the cereal. if she is waking and drinks a full 7 ozs...it means she is hungry right and it's not just a behavioral thing?

sorry for all of the rambling...i am just so freakin' tired. Did this happen to you and if so, any advice?


Edited to change...to 6 weeks...sorry

Sounds like my DD to a T. Eats like there is no tomorrow, and would eat anything and everything you give her.

At about 5 months we found out that my DD had reflux without the spitting up and that's why she would drink 40+ ounces of formula a day. Once we starting giving her cereal in every bottle and with all of her food she was much better and started sleeping a little better until the teeth came in
Now at 10 months were back to the nightly wake ups again to do molars
I usually don't give her a bottle in the middle of the night, i just try to make sure her last bottle is enough and give her cereal then also to kind of fill her stomach.
I would definitly try more cereal consistantly.
