Anyone made it thru to longer naps after the 6 week sleep regression?

Question

I’m so tired of him taking catnaps! He wakes between 30-45 minutes for most naps. He doesn’t wake crying in hunger, sometimes it’s reflux, sometimes gas or pee, usually just an inability to stitch together his sleep cycles just yet.
If I let him quietly fuss alone for 20-30 minutes he will sometimes go back down for 1-1.5 hours.
I had read that this is a brief, one week regression and that week 7 should be better. We’re going on 12 days of this now and I’m worn out and my toddler is tired of me being so occupied with baby’s sleep. 🥲
Anyone on the other side with advice or hope?

Answer

We on same page my baby girl still struggling with sleeping she takes 20/30 minutes then wakes up hopefully we will pass this phase

Answer

Seriously?? 🙄 I will say ladies, that a toddler helps distract me. My toddler was gone this weekend and it was far more upsetting to me when mini naps happened. But having a toddler actually helps my mentality I think, plus if I’m busy with him, sometimes the baby cries a bit longer than I’d otherwise allow and then magically settles into sleep on his own.
So if your baby is your first..give him a few minutes to settle before rushing to help, you might just lucky into another little nap or even a long one.

Answer

Thanks ladies, hopefully our babe’s naps improve soon. The constant up and down is so hard!

Answer

My Lo sleeps for hours in his cradle swing. He fusses even when he eats right now, and won’t sleep unless in that swing!! It’s pricey, so we never would have splurged to buy it but feel so lucky we got it as a gift. 💙

Answer

Baby will be 9 weeks Tuesday… still struggling with naps unless he’s held. Naps in his bassinet are about a half hour or so. Naps on mom or dad last 1-2 hours. It’s exhausting and my toddler isn’t a fan either

Answer

Sorry. No advice. We are 8 weeks and he is still fighting naps. I am waiting to get thru this phase too. Its very exhausting.

Answer

25-35 minute naps sound amazing to me! LOL so no advice here I guess 😢

Answer

He’s adorable! Baby is nearly 9 weeks old and for the past three days we’ve been struggling with naps. He used to do 1-2 hours in his cot easily, now he never sleeps past 1 hours. He now also tends to fall asleep on me while feeding, even if he’s been up for less than an hour. He used to be able to comfortably be awake for 1.5 hours.. so anyway, not a lot of help but at least we’re in the same boat 😄
