Hello :)
My LO has just turned 5 months. He’s a really good sleeper at night, sleeps through, goes down to bed with little fuss. His naps were good too, he was having 2-3 hrs in his cot in the middle of the day (with me nearby and using a monitor) and he’d have 2-3 naps either side.
As far as the 4 month regression goes, his nighttime sleep hasn’t really been affected which I know we are very lucky (unless it’s still to come 🫣)
His nighttime sleep is still good but he has started to wake from naps after 20-30 mins in his cot, crying and clearly not ready to wake. He’s getting overtired as a result as hasn’t been able to have that longer, more restorative nap. I’d try to resettle him but he would seem awake, but only last 30 mins or so before getting fussy with tiredness.
He woke after 30 mins again today, I rocked him and he went back off to sleep in my arms, I’m just holding him so he sleeps now, and he is snoring away.
I contact napped with him a lot previously, but he got to the point where he was sleeping a lot better in a quiet room, in his cot. Now he seems to be the opposite.
Can this be normal and something that just happens? I don’t mind, but I just want to make sure I’m not introducing or creating bad habits by letting him nap on me to ensure he gets enough sleep, after a point where he had been napping ok in his cot. Will this confuse him?!
He’s my first baby and when I feel like I’ve cracked it, something changes!
