Swapped at 8 weeks?

MeaganG11 · February 2013

(Rather than at birth) I think somebody is playing a trick on me and has swapped out my two month old with a much calmer, sleep loving child.

DS slept from 11:30 pm last night to 8:15 am this morning. Woke up, ate, stayed awake a whopping 30 minutes, and has been sleeping since about 9 am in his swing (it's almost noon). I even turned the swing off an hour ago to see if it'd wake him up. No dice, he's still asleep!

This is a kid that would sleep 11:30 pm-ish to 4:30 am-ish, then 5-ish to 8-ish and be up for the day, with, maybe, two 15-20 minute naps during the day. He'd also be cranky as hell for a lot of the day.

He's not displaying any signs of illness or not feeling well, other than the unusual amount of sleeping. I know I should probably be ecstatic, but I'm really just kind of worried!

I'm happy for you!

I seem to be having the opposite happen. My once calm happy baby has been replaced with a fussy sleep fighter since he turned two months old... So enjoy your nice day and think of me!

Thats awesome. My LO is almost 2 months and the other night slept almost 6 hours and woke up to eat and fell asleep after the feeding for another 5 hours. I was thinking this was going to be the new schedule but now she is back to only sleeping a few hours at a time. So enjoy your sleep!
