8 week old sleep issues!

[adeledmk]

My little boy is 8 weeks old, ebf and until recently has been managing 4/5 hours stretches of sleep a night. This week however he has been up every 1.5/2 hours! He naps quite well during the day, but night time just doesn't seem to sleep very well anymore! Is this a phase that will pass? Has anyone else had experience of this? Thanks x

Probably a growth spurt causing him to need more milk.

Do you follow the Wonder Weeks?

Probably just a growth spurt so needs to feed more to increase supply, my DS tended to snap back to 4/5hr stretches just as I was about to snap from exhaustion .. Not massively helpful I know but in my very limited experience this is 'normal'! Hope tonight is the night that he starts giving you longer again

Look up wonder weeks and sleep regressions

Thanks for the replies! I will look up wonder weeks now! And thanks Dartmoordoughnut fingers crossed!!xx

Sleep changes a lot with a small baby. Growth spurt/developmental leap/teething/illness/separation anxiety/sleep regression. It is a phase and it will pass!
