Hi all- my baby will be 8 weeks on Tues- for the last few weeks he has been waking constantly during his naps. I have him on a 3 hour EASY, and he is swaddled when I lay him down. I have no problems reading his sleep cues and getting him to sleep- he falls asleep on his own in the crib, sometimes with a paci, sometimes without. It never fails- he will wake up constantly for the first half of naptime- the first at about 20 minutes, then every 10 min or so afterwards, until finally he is so tired he will stay asleep for a good chunk. By then it is almost time for him to eat again, and though I hate to wake him for a feed, I do.
Though I can always get him right back to sleep, I have been trying to figure out why he is waking so much. I do stay with him after I put him down to make sure he is in a deep sleep. He has had stomach issues all along- he is formula fed and is on liquid Similac Sensitive, as he could not tolerate anything else without severe gas pain. Perhaps gas is waking him?
Any ideas of things I might be overlooking? Anything I can do to eliminate these wakings?
Thanks for help
