My baby never been a good sleeper and I’m okay with that. 10 months old and he goes in his bed to start and will always end up with us.
However, the last 4 or 5 nights, he is waking after an hour, every hour and getting into our bed earlier because he then won’t settle. THEN he’s up at 5.30.
We used to put him to get at 7 and get till at least 11/12 before the first wake. Sometimes we could get him back off in his own cot, sometimes he’d come in with us but never before 11. The early wakes started and I was advised to push bedtime back to 7.30, it worked for a bit but then back to 5.30.
Now, down at 7.30, up at 9 then 10 and definitely in our bed at this point as won’t resettle. 1 or 2 more wake ups than normal and then up at 5.30 ????
He has 2 naps a day totalling 2.5hours. Wake window is 3, then 3.5 then 4hr
Hoping a phase or teething or learning a new skill but this seems to be lasting forever!!!!

Cap the last nap to half an hour. As soon as I did that, my boy started sleeping through the night. Use the time to extend the 1st wake window

Yeah I’d say (but not an expert!!) that he’s getting too much sleep in a 24hr period, so doesn’t have ‘sleep pressure’. Mine was the same, also never a ‘great sleeper’. Reduced day sleep to 1.5-2 hrs total and gave later bed time. Means wake windows are longer, but he is totally comfortable with that. Took about a week to reset, but getting 5 hr stretch at start and 2-3 wakes total.
