Yes i know that in alot of ways im lucky as matty has slept through the night since 6 weeks old... but that said.... if you have something good you get used to it and quite frankly... I WANT IT BACK... lol
My guess is it is just a phase. If he is sleeping really well, just shorter, I think it is just something he's going to have to work through. Does he have 1, 2, or 3 sleeps during the day? He might even be working towards cutting out a day sleep?
Jett slept through from midnight to 6am from day one, and then it got longer and longer and then one day at about 5 months he needed to wake up every couple of hours! He settled back down to 2 wakes a night, then one and only in the last week has he kind of cut out that last one. Still wakes up, quick sleepy grizzle and then goes back to sleep as usual, all in the space of a minute. His sleeptime at night is about 9.30 through to about 7. So no 12 hours here, but I don't think he needs that because of his day sleeps. But even though we have had the wake ups his sleep in between was good solid sleep, with no trouble settling or resettling.
Hi Everyone Else! Thanks for the catch up while we were up there visiting!! Lovely to meet you all and finally put faces to names!
Yes im hoping its a stage... one that ends very soon....
He has 2 sleeps duringthe day... sometimes 1 if we are out and about.. the morning sleep is 1-1/2 hours and the same pretty much in the afternoon. I tried cutting him back to just one sleep and that was HELL... i put him down at 12 which by then he was EXHAUSTED but he only slept for about an hour and would wake up sooooooo grumpy but refused to go back to sleep... and would then be grumpt allllll afternoon.. so i decided to go back to 2 sleeps and he is back to his happy self... but still waking up VERY early in the morning....
I would understand if it was light and that is why he was waking.. but its still pitch black when he wakes up...
georgie I'll swap you for my little terrorist who was up between 11 & 1am last night for no apparent reason and between midnight and 3am the night before!
there must have been something in the air last night as matty woke at 11pm too, but i think maybe he just had a nightmare as when i got him up he was still really upset so i gave him cuddles and he eventually fell asleep on me... i LOVE that.. its sooo cute.. just not at 11pm at night.. lol
