Hi all, please be kind, tired FTM. Baby is 3.5 months and we've been experiencing split nights for around 10 days, which I believe is a schedule problem.
Baby wakes around 8am, has 1hr 45/2 hr wake windows and generally goes down for the night around 7pm. Naps last anywhere between 30 mins up to 2 hours, total nap time of 3/3.5hrs during the day.
Tried:
Capping naps at 2hrs max (generally only one nap of the day lasts this long)
Dream feed
What sounds off about our schedule? Does it sound like she needs another wake window around 9pm after treating the 7pm bedtime as a nap?
We are feeding once or twice in the night and I actually enjoy our night feeds, it's just when it takes 2 hours to get her back to sleep the tiredness kicks in. Prior to the last 10 days she went back to sleep almost immediately.
We use white noise and the room is dark.
Thank you!
