I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me and my 6 week old who seems to cat nap during the day. He is a very alert baby and has been since being born however, he seems recently to sleep for 10 minutes at a time during the day and wakes again. This seems to make him really grizzly as he gets over-tired. Initially, he slept fantastically and since he has reached 5 weeks, he seems to be more grizzly and not as predictable.
At night he usually sleeps well feeding every 3 - 4 hours but we have a terrible time at around 5am where he won't settle after his feed and I usually end up putting him in bed with me (not something I wanted to do). He then falls back to sleep at around 6 or 7 only to wake again for another feed at 8am. How can I solve this problem as I need my sleep too?
I have read that he may be going through a growth spurt, can this be just a stage he is going through?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
