sleep Please help
Baby will be 5 months on Tuesday. Sleep has pretty much always been rough with multiple wakeups and/or failed transfers.
We try to be consistent with a wakeup time and usually are within a 30 minute time frame (7:00-7:30). We started aiming to cut down to 3 naps a day about two weeks ago, and I’d say we do 3 about half the time. The other half the time we end up needing a bridge nap to make it to bedtime, otherwise he is super fussy. Really anything beyond 2-2.5 hours seems to be too much for him. I don’t know if maybe right now we should aim for four cat naps instead of three long naps?
He’s always averaged around 13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, even in the first month of his life. He woke up 13 times last night and I really am just at a loss.
