Sleep! What’s that?

Question

Does anyone else have a baby who barely sleeps? My lil guy is 12 weeks on Monday and the longest he’s slept overnight is 3hrs. Recently he’s been waking every 45 minutes which is just so incredibly draining. He really fights his naps in the day too. Please tell me I’m not alone!!!

Answer

My kid is a pain in the ass lol! He always gets a 3.5 to 4 hour stretch. Only problem is it starts at about 7:30. After that it's usually about 2 to 3 hours at a time but we can have many wake ups in between. Sometimes waking up every 20 minutes.

Answer

Thank you all! It’s good to know we are not all alone in this! My boy is just a really poor sleeper I think, certainly right now. Hopefully things will change soon! I think once the startle reflex goes that will help too as he often appears to startle when I put him down. You know it don’t last forever, but that seems a long way off at 3am!

Answer

My baby is 13 weeks and the longest he will give me is 4 hours and then it’s usually 2-3. I hope he starts sleeping longer stretches soon !

Answer

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ me right here! It’s about every hour. And refuses to stay asleep if my husband or I put him down. He wakes up right away! There was a time when it would be every 2 hours, and he would at least stay asleep for awhile after putting him down. I remember thinking that those were the rough nights. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Boy was I wrong.

Answer

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ 11.5 weeks. Typing this during one of my late night feeds. Every two hour or less... and this continues throughout the day. During the day she won’t take naps anywhere but my arms. I am exhausted! FTM and praying things start to improve.

Answer

Totally normal to have sleep regression around this time thankfully we aren’t going through that here but it should pass soon! 🙏🏼❤️

Answer

We went through the same! Starting week 9 and just improving now at 12 weeks

Answer

Not alone! I think we went through this sleep regression from 11.5 weeks for about 48-72 hours. We just made it through the other side though so it does end! We just stuck to what we had been doing and drank more coffee/took more naps during the day (me, not him). It was so weird - he went from sleeping 3-4 hours overnight to not wanting to nap longer than 20-30 and overnight not longer than 45 min. As soon as I would put him down he would flail and wake up. 
Just stick to what you had been doing before and you’ll get through it! Only a few more weeks until you can begin sleep training (if you want to do that).
