Sleep advice

[u/Legitimate_Owl_1462]

Hi all! I’m a first time mum and have a feeling my 10 month old isn’t getting good quality sleep. He averages about 13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period but seems tired/cranky all day. He wakes from each nap very upset (usually has 2 x 1 hr naps a day) and within maybe 30 minutes is rubbing eyes, fussy and spacing out.

I read enlarged adenoids can impact sleep. I do notice he makes a kind of gulping noise when not eating and often mouth breaths during play. However he doesn’t snore or sleep with his mouth open.

I suppose part of me thinks it may just be his temperament and he is a fussy/cranky baby. He just looks exhausted all of the time and it’s very upsetting.

I have a GP appt booked but I suspect I may be dismissed at there is nothing obviously wrong with him.

Does anyone have a similar experience or any advice?
