One sleep cycle at bedtime 😭

My 2.5 month old just cannot connect his first sleep cycle at bedtime and it's driving me bonkers. It's been happening for about 2-3 weeks now.

I nurse him to sleep and he goes down pretty quickly around 8pm but then he always wakes up again around 8:40pm. I pop him on the boob and he will fall asleep right away but then take 10 -20 minutes before I can get him back in his bassinet without him waking up.

After that wakeup he is also typically waking up at 12, 3, 4, 5 and up at 6. My first was a terrible sleeper too so I kind of expected it lol

He gets about 5 hours of daytime sleep over 4-5 naps. Last nap is always done by 6:30 to have 90 minutes awake before bedtime.

I'm fine with all of the night wakings as I know he's still little, but that first one after bedtime really hinders my getting anything done before I need to get to sleep myself 😪

Anyone else experience this?
