Title: 3mth LO can only handle 40mins A time
Post by: FionaS on November 23, 2006, 00:40:16 am

My 3 month old is a 40min sleeper and can only handle 40mins awake time before she gets grizzling.  She is super sensitive to everything so going out with her is impossible.  People say babies get better around 3 to 4 months...is this true for all of them or will these problems, and the short awake time continue until she sleeps longer than 40mins?  I've tried everything to extend naps and we are having some 1.5 hour ones now but alas the awake time is still not increasing. Feeling overwelmed.  When will it get better?

Does 40 min awake include feeding time?  At that age B could only be up for a max of 1.25 hours but that included his eating time.

It does get better and being able to extend naps will really help with A time for sure.

Yes, the 45 mins includes feed time.
