For the past 5 days my 8 week old has had a sudden change in sleeping. He used to not sleep very much in the day time - approx 2-3 hours max between 7am and 7pm and just when I was holding him, but would sleep well at night feeding 3-4 hourly (breastfed)
Suddenly this has switched, he sleeps upto 6 hours in the day and then after bath time he's wide awake and won't settle he's very distressed and crying and it seems he wants to sleep. Last night from midnight - 9am he might have slept about 1.5 hours
He's feeding more frequently and nappies etc are all fine
Is he overtired, or is he sleeping too much in the day? What should I try? I've tried bath and bed time routine dim lights etc
Thanks!!
