Another sleep related post 🙈

My LO seems to have made it out of the sleep regression now and is sleeping much longer stretches at night, like he was before the SR. BUT he doesn’t seem to sleep deeply. I’ve noticed this for as long as I can remember and thought it might improve but he’s 4 1/2 months and it still hasn’t. What I mean is that no matter how long he’s been asleep - whether 10 minutes or 3 hours - I notice he opens his eyes slightly (not fully open, just a small crack) and closes them and can do this for HOURS on and off. I’m not sure if it’s normal for babies but I’m just worried he’s not getting the quality of sleep he needs.

If it makes a difference, for both naps and night sleep, I keep the room dark and have white noise playing.
