His day sleeps are ok now actually. He is having three sleeps, but i think he's in the process of dropping one of them. He is 9 months in a weeks time. He sleeps in the morning for about 45-60mins. then at midday for around 40 mins and then in the afternoon for around 60 mins (sometimes the afternoon one stretches out to about 1.5hours). Is this average? No idea if it is or not
He is an extremely active baby. Has been crawling since 5 months and standing up since 6 months. Even now he is climbing our staircase (with me close behind!) and he still doesn't wear himself out!!! He's not walking yet, but looks to be close to it. I really hope the walking will wear him out 'cause thus far nothing else has
So about 4hrs all up during the day? Yeah I think about 4hrs is pretty normal for day sleeps at that age! Sounds like he might be dropping back to two sleeps - I found that when DD did that (I think around the same age too, 9mths) she'd be awake for about 3hrs, then sleep for an hour-ish, then awake for another 3, asleep for another 1 or so, then awake til bedtime.
Now she is starting to just have the one sleep, but it is a big one, normally around 1.5-2hrs.
Wow, crawling since 5mths!!! Walking can't be far off! There are a lot of developmental milestones that happen in the first 12 months so it could just be that he hasn't slowed down enough to get into a good sleep routine at night time. Eventually he will work it out!
Its something they don't tell you when you sign up to be a parent - something like 30% of babies are still waking overnight at 12mths!! It is not uncommon or unusual!
thank you.
