A. At 4 months, your baby may be waking every 2 hours overnight because his or her sleep cycle has matured and shortened to be just 2 hours in length, after which they will enter a very light sleep phase and easily wake, often needing help get back to sleep. This is called 4 month sleep regression and it lasts for about 2-6 weeks. A 4 months old should have a maximum of 3-4 feedings per night.

A. Spitting is pretty common in babies this age as their digestive system is not mature enough. Burp the baby during and after each feed. Always feed the baby in an upright position. After each feed, make the baby sit on your lap in an upright position for atleast 20-30 mins to avoid such cases of spitting and vomiting of milk. Do not over feed the baby. Try to feed more frequently but each time, feed only small amounts.
