I have a backwards baby..

perplexed59 · May 2011

When Alice was born she slept for 5-6 hours a night. She did this most nights until about one month. Since then she has started sleeping less, sometimes 3-4 hours, or 2 hours or every once and a while 6 hours. Last night she was up every 1 - 1.5 hours. Hopefully its some kind of 8 week growth spurt. I thought they were suppose to get better at sleeping not worse.

Oh well at least its a holiday so my husband can watch her so I can get a nap. I really hope that this doesn't become her usual sleeping pattern. She does nap well during the day so maybe I will just have to go back to sleeping when she sleeps.

we were getting a consistent 5 hour stretch around 5 weeks and it disappeared. Now it's every 3 hours, sometimes 2 and that doesn't count the time we take to make sure he goes back down and stays asleep!

Landon was a great sleeper until he was 6 weeks old. Just recently, like in the past week, he started giving us 5 hour stretches. Saturday night (on his 3 month bday), he slept for 6.5 hours. Last night, we got 9+!
