P is 4 months old. He went through the 4MW around Christmas and it was terrible for about 3 weeks. Then the past couple of weeks were better, but he was still waking up 3 times a night (no longer than 3.5 hours in one stretch) and we'd have to change his diaper which made him angry, so I'd feed him in part because I wasn't sure if he was upset because he was hungry, and also because I knew that would reliably get him back to sleep.
At his Pedi appointment last Friday she gave us the clear to try to cut out some of the night feedings even if that meant letting him cry.
I bought some overnight diapers this weekend (Pampers Baby Dry) and tried one for the first time last night. He went for 7!!! hours in the first stretch, then 2. I guess before he really was just waking up because he was wet and not because he was hungry. God I hope last night wasn't a fluke.
I know B sleeps better depending on the diaper we have him in - some of our cloth diapers are better at feeling dry, and we definitely save those for overnight.
