Hi Kara. Well I'm not sure what is going on in the last three days. He has gone from sleeping 11-12 hours at night, to only 10hrs 20 min to 10 hrs 45mins.
His schedule just seems to be all over the place I guess. Maybe if someone told me that at 6 mos their "schedule" should still be a bit unsettled, then I could relax a bit.
Past three nights are a bit different but have been this, 16th BT 6:45pm WU 5:30am (3hrs 35mins of naps in 2 naps 3hrs 45 min A time before BT) *****17th BT 6:55pm WU 5:20am but fed him at 6am and he slept from 6:30-7:30 (3hr 5 min of naps in 3 naps had a CN, 2hrs 55 min A time before BT)*****18th(last night), BT 7pm WU 5:30am (2hr 30 min of naps in 2 naps and 3hr 20 min of A time before BT)
His A time during the day is right around 2hrs 40mins. I pushed it the other day to almost three hours and he woke at 30min into his nap, but did put himself back to sleep after 10mins of shuffling.
When he wakes in the am he never fusses or cries. He is pretty quiet, just rolling a bit, playing with his feet, and a talk here and there. I really don't think he's hungry because of the zero fuss. Also, he eats plenty all day. Solids three times a day, and 30oz of formula. He just had a checkup and he's doing great with height and weight. He's been STTN for about 3mos now for around 11-12 hours.
His naps have gotten much better in the last 2-3 weeks due to increasing A times. Could he just not be tired enough to make it past that 5ish am light waking? He has always made some "noise" around the 5am mark, but usually will go back to sleep.
His appetite has greatly increased over the last week, he's on the verge of crawling and sitting up, and he is going to get a tooth here anyday, I can finally see one or two almost popping out on the bottom middle. He doesn't seem bothered by the teeth at all, just drooling and chewing on everything.
Any insights would be helpful. Also, I have sent you a private message with a quick question, unrelated to sleep.
Thank you so much,
