why do they return to short naps?
« on: March 28, 2007, 00:49:13 am »
My 4 month old son was an avid short napper until 2 weeks ago when it seemed like he was suddenly ready to sleep for an hour, 1.5, and once in a while 2 hours.

The last 3 days we have been working towards a 3.5 cycle, and he has had 2 hour awake times without much complaint.

Today though, after a weekend of making it 3.5, he screamed at every 3 hour mark for food, and then only took 40 minute naps.

Is that really common?

Sounds like a growth spurt. Also in my experience going back to short naps is a result of needing to extend awake time.

I agree with pp- my lo is 16 wo and recently had his growth spurt, it should pass and you will be able to continue with your transition. if your lo is draining his bottle try and increase his oz's also
