My little one is 13 weeks old and for us sleep durations haven’t improved yet.
We have a set bedtime routine at 7pm of bath, then feed in bedroom in darkened environment before transferring to snuzpod once asleep.
But through the night we average at least 6 full wake-ups. I naively assumed that the stints he was asleep would perhaps gradually increase but we still seem to be the same.
Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? He’s my first baby.
When he’s awake it can be for anything from 20 mins to feed to up to a couple of hours - he’s not awake that whole time - he’ll be sleeping on me but then when transferred wakes so we have to start again. I wait for him to be fast asleep and do the arm test but often he still just seems to ‘know’ when he’s put down!
This week I’ve tried co-sleeping as I am reaching a point of exhaustion with normally a total of 4 hours broken sleep max. But sleep is still just as disturbed.
I EBF and offer both sides to ensure he’s full and take his lead.
Usually he’ll sleep 730-1030/11, but then wakes every hour and a half, sometimes much less.
Advice gratefully received!
