Overtired or under tired?

[BettyBoo246]

Dd 6 months sleeps the following:

Wakes 6.30am (ish)
1st nap 9am - 10.45am
2nd nap 1.15pm - 2.30pm
3rd nap 4.30pm - 5.00pm
Bed at 7.45pm

At bedtime without fail she keeps waking up after 45 minutes. But then after resettling sleeps till morning, could this 45 minutes be because she’s overtired or under tired?

Who cares.. she's sleeping through after one wake 45 mins in! Sleep cycles are 40 mins so you'll prob find she's getting through the first one. You're so lucky to have such an amazing sleeper.

Mine done exactly the same the same but it was 35 minutes after falling asleep, quick resettle and she was fine. Never found a solution but she grew out of it at about 7/7 and a half months

Thanks SS1987 there is hope then!

I care because she gets really distressed when she wakes up and she’s next door to ds who then also wakes up.

I’ve tried a later bedtime / earlier bedtime, shorter / longer naps but nothing seems to help. I’ve been keeping her downstairs till she passes the 45 minute wake up so she doesn’t wake up ds too which isn’t ideal

We're exactly the same and still going through it at 10 months. Usually the waking is because of gas, we help DS bring up his wind and then he quickly he resettles and carries on sleeping. Was hoping he would have grown out of it by now to be honest.

I keep reading that 45 minutes is a sleep cycle and it’s them moving in to the next phase of sleep but not being able to do it themselves but yet she can self settle herself throughout the night

It’s becoming a pain in the sense she’s waking up ds as he’s a light sleeper and also we feel we can’t get a babysitter in if we ever (prob never) get the chance to go out for an evening
