Sleep cycle

I breastfeed and mine is waking every 3 hours for a feed at the moment. I don’t even get the long first stretch anymore. He was getting a little better last week but has since picked up a cold and we’re back to square one. Can’t catch a break!
Me! Little man may sleep 8:30-12ish but usually on our bed and he used to transfer to cot fine but now he’s waking multiple times within 30 minutes of being put down. Will sleep in my bed but will still need briefly resetting. A very unwelcome surprise after he started sleeping through from 3m. I’m tired 🤣 mine also doesn’t sleep much in the day most days!
Same here first half good stretch 4 hours then does 20 min then every hour im exclusively BF but I only feed every 3-4 hours I refuse to feed every time he wakes up as he doesn’t fall asleep on the boob Dummy keeps falling I have to get up to settle him which is annoying Wouldn’t mind getting up every 3 hours at least I would get 2 sleep cycle as adult sleep cycle is 90 mins
@Michelle It certainly takes its toll. Let’s hope it passes and they start to stretch it out more. I’m hoping when they start weaning it improves? 🤞
Yes absolutely the same - down at about 8, wakes up at about 1.30 and 3 for dummy, then 5 onwards he’s chest or co-sleeping as won’t settle in the next to me again. He’s on formula so there’s definitely no secret trick, I think it’s just babies being babies! X
@Sasha It’s like he has teased you with sleeping through first! I’ve never had that novelty so I know no better 😂 hope it passes soon!
@Sophie Hopefully it passes soon! I’m hoping when we can start weaning the sleep improves.. 🤞
@Ioana Hope it passes soon! We did have just one wake a night a few weeks ago but he had his third jabs which seem to have set us back again 🥴
@Jess Well I do feel better that I’m not alone! Hopefully this passes soon 🤞😂 x
@Genna it is all a phase. Once this passes something else will pop up. 🤷🏻♀️
Very similar here. Longer stretch of sleep in first part of night then multiple wakings thereafter.
