How does GS alter sleep?
« on: April 08, 2013, 03:50:29 am »
LO2 (DS) is one week shy of 3 months and I think he is hitting his GS.  He is sleeping more during the day and night - is this normal?  I am thinking it's a GS because he was sleeping 3-4 hours at night for the longest time and just last night he slept 7.5 hrs!

LO1 (DD) was very similar when she hit her 3 month GS.  She slept 11 hrs the first night, 7 the second, 5 hrs the third night and then returned to her usual 2-3 hours until she hit 4 months (then she STTN).

LO2 took two naps today of 2 hrs 40 min each (he usually does 1.5 - 2 hrs). 

I read somewhere that LO's eat a lot (and are up a lot) right before a GS and then they sleep a lot for 2-3 days.  Does this sound right?  I don't recall either LO1 or LO2 increasing their eating, but it does seem as if the extra sleep is the GS.  I'm hoping he is finally lengthening his night sleep and the naps are just lengthening too....but, I can't seem to get it out of my head that it might be a GS and he will go back to sleeping less in a couple if days.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Yep, that's it.  If I remember right, Mouse did the lots of eating/sleeping thing, but not the awake lots part.

How long does the extended sleeping lasts?

Generally 2-3 days, but can be up to a week.
