Sleep schedule changes... Momma is frustrated

DS had been sleeping 6,7,8 hours a night, so only waking once to eat. He was the easiest baby to put down at night as well. He eats and gets laid down immediately. This was his norm.
I went back to work this week and now he is waking up twice a night in 2-3 hour intervals. He also won't go to bed right away at night.
I work in surgery so my mornings are early anyway (5am) and I am very frustrated with this change. Any thoughts on how to get my easy baby back? :)

    Evie went through her  3 month growth spurt and was sttn but regressed for roughly 4 days. Good news is the past two nights she has gone back to sttn!

  • Same thing happened to me when I went back to work a week and a half ago. I have early starts too (7am - not as bad as yours) so I feel your pain. I think in our case she's ready to transition out of the swaddle so we're trying that now to see if it makes a difference. Good luck!

  • The same thing is happening to us now. She used to go down easily and sleep 11-12 hours, waking up once to eat and then going down again pretty easily. She still goes down okay at night, but keeps waking up every few hours and is WIDE awake. She doesn't seem to be hungry, just awake and wanting to play, particularly after her MOTN feed. She's also been getting extra cranky in the early evening.

    I think she might be in her 3mo growth spurt since she just turned 3mo on Wed (or at least I hope that's what it is!). Fingers crossed it's just a phase that she will pass through soon.

  • Christian has also regressed and past two nights has been waking up every 3 hours. Grrrrr. I'm chalking it up to 3 month growth spurt and hoping it passes soon.

  • Sounds like his 3 month growth spurt?  My LO's sleep schedule was way off during her 3 month growth spurt, which lasted a solid week.  Your LO will get back to his normal routine soon!
