help..

My LO is 5.5 months old, lately he naps for 1.5 hours twice a day than at night he seems to get up every hour to two. Im so tried. How can i get him to sleep longer. I dont know if its his teeth? growing phase? or what but i need to change something.

Re: help..

  • Mine has stopped STTN as well. I have nothing to suggest other than hang in there..Must be a growth spurt. Finn wakes up hungry as heck.

  • maybe try putting them down a little earlier? or later? could be overtired or not tired enough. feed more often before bed time? there are so many variables. hang in there! it can't last forever.

  • You could try taking away part of a nap. Instead of two 1.5 hour naps maybe two 1 hour naps. Jay has recently went on hap strikes and is now sleeping through the night.

  • I'm having the opposite problem - nap strike I guess I should call it. I know there's a 6 month growth spurt so maybe that's why things are awry these days.
  • Yup, we went through something similar. She had been mostly sleeping through the night and then it was up at midnight, up at 3:30, up at 6.  It was horrible, the good news is it seems like it was just a phase/6 month wakeful period/cold.  She seems to be sleeping much better for her naps and at night too.  Just try to ride it out.
