Hi there,
The catnap didn’t really help. Actually, right now he fights both - the catnap and the “nighttime” sleep.
But overall things are getting better. He doesn’t stay up for several hours anymore, he just has hard time falling asleep and staying asleep (might wake up in 10 or 20 minutes and needs to be soothed). But as soon as he passes the 40 min. mark he will be sleeping all night long (waking up only for feeding).
On the other hand, right when you think it works, everything changes – we started having trouble with the second nap. But I’m kind of get used to it already
to know that he needs me time to time to fall asleep
Teteali, I don’t know what we can do to help our los sleep better. I guess, they are just babies and this is the way how babies work.
We just have to be patient and wait for things to improve (which I can see is happening). Btw, my lo started to have long 5-6 hors stretches at night as well!
Also, I was wondering, if it says that 3 mo old needs 10 hours of night sleep… if my lo goes to bed at 7.30 and wakes up at 7 am, it will give us 11.5 hours of sleep, why so?
And one more question. My ds started waking up at 6am for feeding. To start out day at 6am is too early for me. But at 7 or even 8 am he is not so hungry and he is very-very sleepy. So, for the last two days I stared the day after 9 am. I’m very happy to sleep till 9am
and my ds seems to be happy too and not as sleepy as before. I know that it’s recommended for babies to wake up at 7am. But I don’t know why and I’m wondering what is wrong about waking up at 9
