Thanks for your replies, ladies. He's was rubbing his eyes and crying all morning, poor little guy, so I PD at 11:23 and he was asleep within 5 min - hope he sleeps long
. I gave him something for his teeth before his nap (tbh, I do this before almost every nap just to rule out teething) just in case he's teething, even though I'm pretty sure he's just simply really tired.
I think it is possible he's in an UT/OT loop, but I just don't know how to tell the difference between being UT and OT. I'm not sure why he'd wake after 30-35 min if he's UT. If his nap was 60-75 min and he woke happy then I'd be certain he's UT but the fact that he wakes up crying after his first sleep cycle (usually) and wakes crying after the 2nd sleep cycle makes me think he's OT. I don't know? He had a few good nights this past week where he didn't have any NWs at all (
) but most nights the the weeks before that and then again last night, have several NWs so I'm not so sure his nights are super great
, but at least we don't get super long NWs. His nights could definitely be worse so I'm grateful for that.
