Sleep help

My baby doesn’t nap longer than 30-40 minutes - still on 4 naps a day.

She is EBF but we have started weaning and trying to introduce a bottle of formula as worried she might be hungry

She’s up a lot in the night. Don’t know if she’s cold, hungry or just being difficult

Anyone else experiencing this?

Last night her longest stretch I think was an hour and a half!!

She can’t connect her sleep cycles. She’s most certainly not being difficult x

Oh I know she’s not. But she has done longer stretches before so that’s why it’s confusing

Might be worth looking into sleep training. There's a few methods out there but it will help her connect her sleep cycles.

We've only just really transitioned to 3 naps but he still more often than not needs help connecting the two sleep cycles together for that lunchtime long nap!

We've also just hit teething though this week and it's by far been my toughest hurdle with getting him to nap but I w just kept to the routine and he seems to be settling into it again 😅 God only knows what next week will bring ha!

I just tried a zillion different things to help him to connect the sleep cycles but we've settled on chest patting. I categorically never get him out of the crib unless we hit proper crying not just moaning and he's getting good and drifting back off

Mine has had a stinking cold for three weeks!!!!! I think we are finally coming out of it. But that certainly hasn’t helped.
I’m thinking once that’s gone I will start the training.

My little one is still on 4 naps a day. Is that too many?

Mine also has 4 but really trying to transition to 3. His are also about 35/45 mins long. Has done longer ones in the past but I think teething isn’t helping at the mo
