Why is my 5 month old. 24 weeks almost 6 months still only have a wake window of 1 hour?? Recently he had a regression in his naps not night time sleep, so his naps are only 10-30 minutes now but even before then he’s always had a wake window of an hour unless we’re out in public. He sleeps through the night btw.

He is probably teething try giving him Tylenol

Buy infant Tylenol and only give him 1.50 ml and it’ll help

I’ve already done that. 😭😭 Doesn’t really do anything differently. His teeth doesn’t bother him really

Did he recently get vaccinated? If so, that might be it. My LO regresses every time after. Or 10 days-2 weeks before she turns a new month or hits a growth spurt,. Almost anything out of her norm would occur such as sleep patterns, attitude, or eating habits.
It never hurts to check in with his doctor.
Not sure if you’re doing this already but:
Try incorporating more hands on activities with him during his wake windows.
How long has he been sleeping through the night? Does he do it most nights or all nights?

no he last got vaccinated at 4 months but this has been consistently happening since like the end of 3 months and into 5 months and still currently going.
I will. He has his 6 month appointment next month so I’ll say something then.
I actually said I would try and do that but idk what to do. The hands on things i tried today didn’t really work much for him and he still was like okay ready to nap about 40- 50 minutes in. Idk what activities to do 🥲
he’s been sleeping through the night since he was about 3 months and he does it every night about 10-11 hour night time sleep.

Your baby could be teething or going through a grow spurt if your worried go to your GP x

that’s what I am thinking & yes I do that everything but sometimes it just wakes him up and sometimes I can only get him to an hour.

Wake windows are a guide, not gospel. Follow your baby's cues and slowly stretch the wake window every few days to work back up to the age appropriate range

yea i know that but it’s literally nothing I can do to increase his wake window besides go somewhere for every single nap 😭 By 40 minutes he’s giving clues that he’s sleepy

ahh okok! When you resettle him do you put him back in the crib or contact nap?
