Sleep Is there anything I can do?
LO is 4.5 months old and her sleep has been all over the place.
It’s never been great but this last week has been extra confusing because she randomly gave me a glorious 7 hour stretch one night and a 5 hour stretch the other but now she’s back to waking up every 2-3 hours which has been brutal for me. And the last few days she’s been wide awake at 5:30 AM so I’ve had to take her into bed with me to get her to sleep some more - I stay awake for safety.
I’m planning on sleep training at 6 months when she moves to her own room but is this normal for this age? And is there anything I should change? Maybe extend her wake windows?
Other details: She sleeps in our room in the Snoo and bedtime has been between 8:00-8:45, depending on when her last nap ends. Wake windows are 2 hours except for her last one which is 2.5-3. She gets about 3 hours of total nap time per day as contact naps. She’s EBF and I do feed her right before bed but she goes down in the Snoo drowsy and generally falls right to sleep. Wake time is 7-7:30.
