hi Creations
Congratulations on moving to new place
We are still waiting, I have been asking but that is earliest appointment available given to us. We went to see a general doctor, he of course don't think DS has reflux that needed medication
The last few days miracle happened, DS started doing 1.5hr and 1 hr nap , not sure how perhaps his short naps were developmental or me not putting him to sleep on the right time. I didn't do anything different and we have not started medications for reflux
The good news is the 4am wake up (happy and chatty) also stopped. but the waking 30 min and 1.5hr after bed time still happens sometimes , not sure what is the reason to that. Maybe my bedtime is not right.
I hope he will continues to do long naps,
Yay!! I’m glad the naps got longer!! I’m still struggling but it looks like there’s hope! My son is waking around 4:30/5 and chatting too, do you think that has to do with the short naps?
hi Babiipryces
Am so sorry to reply so late, things been busy for us with in laws visiting and staying for 3 weeks
To be honest DS is still doing short naps a lot of the times, I think its got to do with me putting him to sleep at the wrong time, still not very good at looking at his tired cues. when i got the right A time, he takes 1h20m - 2 hr nap.
About your question on waking and chatting around 4:30/5, I followed Creation and forum mod advise to increase the A time, it stopped after that. Now if he wakes I get nervous in case he stays awake and continue to play, but he usually does not and goes back to sleep after feeding. he still wakes 2 times a night for feeding
I think DS (5 months) now is at A time around 2h15 -2h30m, am still trying to get the right time so that his naps does not end up short, when i get it wrong, he napped 30-38m only.

he gets sleepy at 2h for first nap and the few times I let him go to nap and he wakes after at 38m, so I don't anymore
Hope things are getting better for you

I certainly find advise from Creation and Ali really helpful, I try not to stress about his naps. try my best to provide the best environment for him to sleep, DS job is to sleep, I cannot really force him.
taking a step back and relax helps me to see and notice his sleeping pattern or fuss. am still learning
