I have a entirely breast fed 16week old DD that confuses me with awake time and i think now its affecting her naps. She used to have a great morning nap (2-2.5hrs). Then 2- 1-1.5 hrs second/third naps.
Now every nap is 40 -50 min-ish.
Her awake time are around 1hr-1 hr15 which I know is short --i wonder if i am misreading her signs. IF I start to lengthen 10-15 mins she sleeps worse all day- MAybe she is has high needs for sleeping? Although she never falls asleeep in the car, stroller, carrier, etc Has been like that since day one. I have always had to put in crib to get her to sleep. I feel like the obvious things is too shorten her awake time so she doeant get fussy? bUt i am starting to think she needs to stay awake longer and battle through the short naps and fussy awake periods so that she happily awake longer. She doest like when i stay in the room very long to shh/pat and soothe- she thinks its time to get up or cries harder. She doesnt take a soother either.
When she wakes from naps after 45mins she talks to herself but doesnt cry- take 20mins to either make her get upset or fall back asleep. - Does that mean she is UT?
