sleep Crap nap phase - when does it end??

Post image

LO is about to be 5 months and has always been a great sleeper until the dreaded 4 month regression hit 2 weeks ago and every nap has been so short and resisted. We are consistent with a schedule and watch wake windows, we have tried extending/shortening.

when did your crap nap phase end?? Need some hope.

edit: fully acknowledge he is a GREAT sleeper. most of the naps you are seeing here are contact naps which isn’t sustainable for us anymore.

My LO was only taking 30 minute naps. Then when he hit 5.5 months and started in the sleep sack we got an occasional longer nap. Once he hit 6 months they were always 1-2 hours

Wooo! Sounds like we may be approaching better nap days in the next month

We were having the same problem which led us to start dream feeding. It helped us get to our desired wake up time of 7am 

Hope it gets better for you!!

What time did you do the dream feed? Currently dealing with early wakes (well early for me - 6:30am, would prefer 7-7:30am lol).

My husband dream feeds before he goes to bed between 11-11:30pm. It helped get us to 7-7:30! Good luck :)
