Short sleep cycles?...

Question

I need some help ladies. My little guy sleeps a total of 10 or 11 hours a night but wakes often. Like 4 or 5 times a night. He’ll usually have a quick feed or cuddle and the go right back to sleep but he is waking every 2-3 hours. It’s exhausting! Any tips on how to extend his sleep? I’m not really into the idea of simply letting him cry especially since it doesn’t seem to help but am open to all other suggestions. Thanks.

Answer

This is my life....he has always been this way though. Dr says hopefully by 6 months he may sleep for longer stretches....hang in there!!

Answer

How long has this been going on? Until about 3 months, our sons sleep was getting better and better (we were down to 2 wake ups and even a 7-hr stretch (he's BF and sleeps in our room in his crib)). Then it all went to 💩! He started waking up 4-5 times a night and it was awful. This lasted for about 4 weeks and now it's getting better again. He's back to 2-3 wake ups and longer stretches (though not great yet!). We just assumed it was the sleep regression. We didn't change anything and just stayed the course.
