Am I crazy? Sleep-nap-related

KLeighM23 · February 2013

I've always been a little crazy when it comes to our little guy's sleep/nap schedule. I keep reading that if they don't get enough it could mess with their development.

Before I went back to work, I had a pretty good one going, every 2-3 hours he would nap for 30 minutes to 2 hours, it just depended. But total, he would average 3 hours in naps and then sleep 8:00pm until 3:00am (feeding) and back down until around 7:00am.

Now that I'm back at work he hardly naps for the sitter. MAYBE an hour total all day. However, now at night he sleeps straight through 7:30-6:30am and dropped that MOTN feeding.

He eats well, she says he's easy and happy all day and when we get home from work he isn't a mess, either. So, why am I still concerned that he isn't getting enough sleep? It seems he only gets around 12 hours a day now. Should I just figure he's getting what he needs and let it go?

My DS was like this. He slept 12 hrs a night, no MOTN feeding and only slept about an hr a day. He was fine! Some babies get their sleep at night I suppose. Eventually once he starts crawling and walking he will sleep longer. Hang in there!

My girl was like this starting at 4 mo. Went straight to sleeping 12 hrs at night and would nap (2) 45 min naps at best during the day. She did this for a good 6 weeks...now we're back to a MOTN feeding around 3am. I'm trying to push her bedtime back a little and see if that helps. He's fine, his sleep pattern will change 100 times lol.

I would say as long as he is sleeping through the night ok, and not a complete disaster when you get home from work, that you shoudnt really worry about it.
