Hi ladies. My little boy is almost 11 weeks old but for the past week he has taken a step back in being able to nap and sleep for any length of time. We had made big improvements in terms of him being able to sleep for around 2 1/2 hours independently at a time each night and whilst naps in the day remained inconsistent he was at least getting them in. Now we are in a position where naps are impossible, he will occasionally sleep on me but for maybe only 10 minutes at a time before waking himself up and at night he only sleeps for 1 hour at a time. I've heard of the 4 month sleep regression but we're not there yet and I'm also thinking, can he regress anymore than this 🙈🥴 or maybe he's just going through the regression early? Anyone been in a similar position?

It’s not really a regression but sleep does get affected around 6-10 weeks. Babies kind of "wake up" to the world as their vision improves and they start realising they’re not in a dark womb anymore. Try to keep all naps and night sleep consistent in the same place in the dark and it should improve after a couple/a few days
