Everyone I've met who has a baby the same age as mine claims theirs sleeps 10-12 hours at night, uninterrupted. They're lying, right?
Ds is up 3-4 times a night (bed at 9:30, wakes at 1, 3, & 4:30 then up for the day at 5:30). Until about 6-7 weeks he woke every 1.5 hours and took 45 mins to resettle - so we're at least making definite progress!
But people at this baby group looked at me with pity and concern when they learned I wasn't getting leisurely 12 hour sleeps. Lots of 'oh how awful for you - have you spoken to the HV?'
I was kind of surprised. I mean, he's not in pain. He doesn't have reflux or colic, he doesn't even cry particularly, he just flings himself around his cot until he wakes up babbling. Sometimes he's hungry and I feed him, sometimes he just needs a little chat. He sleeps sporadically during the day -
some catnaps, some longer ones. No particular pattern to them yet.
I'm hoping if he really is as sleep-backwards as these well-rested mums suggest the 4 month regression won't make too much difference... anyone else in a similar position?
