My baby boy always slept bad but 2 weeks ago his bedtime shifted from 1am to 4am. It's not that he's waking more often, he just does not fall asleep. Even the boob doesn't do the job. Occasionally with evening routine we succeed bringing him to bed around 8-9 pm, only to have him fully awake and rested 2 hours later. Sometimes he cries, yes, because he has reflux or his belly hurts. But it's the same issues as during the day, and not sure if is the reason for not sleeping or rather not sleeping is the reason he notices it.
During the day he also doesn't sleep that much. Often naps end after 30 minutes, but other naps I have to cut after 1,5h, otherwise they would go into 2,5h. I also try to wake him up from night sleep between 8 and 9 am.
But today he fell asleep at 6am. His total sleep since yesterday 8am was 7 hours, and even if he now sleeps until 8am, he will sleep only 9 hours. He's only 3 months 1 week. Help.
Should I let him sleep longer in the day? Sometimes he tries to fall asleep again after I feed him after another nap. Now I'm concerned about the impact on that little sleep on his development. During the day he's rather ok, I would not call him super rested, but it's also not that he's crying all the time, and he's extremely interested in everything around him.. he used to coo and smile before this started, but now he's just either fussy or fully focused on trying to grab things.
With only one 3 hour sleep stretch at night/early morning it's quite hard for us to function..
