5.5 week old started short naps 3 days ago, help!

[Sarahboh]

Just wanted to see if anyone had any input. About 3 days ago my 5.5 week old naps fell apart. It went from putting him down quite easily after soothing and he would sleep for 1.5-2 hours, these past three days he has been sleeping, naps ranging from maybe one long one per day of possibly 2 hours, then other short naps of 1/2 hour-45 minutes. What has went on and changed? I know he is young and he is maturing, but to change overnight like this? He night time seems to be okay so far, going down at 7-7:30 and waking 2x night for a feed and then back down until after 6:30am. Do you think he is starting to do short naps so soon or could it be the 6 week growth spurt? Please, TIA Sarah

My first thought was the 6-week growth spurt. Is he eating more often, too?

He doesn't seem to want to eat more often, actually his night bottles he is eating less. It is the naps that are the problem. Do they change like this overnight to become short when the nights are becoming better?
