sleep -long sleep and short sleep

[seb]

hi

Ds-10weeks is a terrible day sleeper.  but is happy to cat nap which i know is not an ideal situation,  nights he is ok.

he can sleep for appr 40mons then wake up., my health sister has advised this is only light sleep and i need to get him to have at least 45mins to an hr for he goes into a deeper sleep/

if he wakes up after 40mins and takes me like 20mins to settle him and he only has another 30mins, wouldnt this mean, he is still only hsave a light sleep, or would he be having a deep sleep. i wish i knew and didnt have to resettle him..  also how long does it take to selle your babies.  thx

hello! welcome. I agree that u need to extend his naps, there are many methods to do this check out the FAQs on the naps boards

yes to start with u are intervening and so its not continuous sleep but as soon as LO learns to 'stay asleep' he will sleep longer periods on his own and thus will be more rested
