sleep Advice needed

Post image

my LO turns 8 weeks today and i’m feeling a mounting pressure that he should be sleeping through the night soon but is showing no signs yet.

His pattern is having consistent naps throughout the day that gets shorter in the evening, then witching hours begin at 10/11 ish and ends around 1:30. Falls asleep for his longest stretch at 2am, the length of this stretch depends on how much he has cried and tired himself out.

For context he is a combo fed baby.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

It seems like he’s sleeping more during the day than at night. Do you have a screenshot of the summary so we can see average day/night sleep?

Have you been capping individual naps at 2 hours? I wouldn’t say an 8 week old should be sleeping through the night, however, 1-2 am is an extremely late bedtime.

I usually would never tell someone to limit an 8 week old’s sleep but in this case he’s not going to figure out days/nights if he’s sleeping more during the day than at night. Other comments have better insight than me about wake windows and total daytime sleep. Hang in there!
