Naps and routine

Same. But i learned that there is a 6mo regression. Not all babies get it but most do. Its where they become more aware of their surroundings and noise and some have a particularly big growth spurt. We've been the same now for 7 days. She would have 3 naps and sleep from 8pm to 4.30am before she'd wake for a feed. Now its all over the shop. Wont nap, down at 8, up at 9. Up at 11. Hopefully it only lasts 2 weeks. I dont think I have much more than that in me.
I don’t know too much about it, but I read last night on the Wonder Weeks app that my little boy will be entering Leap 5 this week (he’s 23 weeks old this week). I’ve definitely noticed a difference in him overnight and he was up several times and just refused his morning nap. Time for me to read up on his next fussy phase so I don’t go totally crazy xx
There is 10 leaps they go through and around 5 months is the 5th leap so it could possible be the fussy faise ? It can be from a week to 4 weeks, but again every baby is different and this is just a rough guidance from the wonder app!! My LO turns 6 months on the 24th yesterday was her first night without waking again after 3 ISH weeks. I started to stroke her head ten mins before expected to wake up and this was meant to reset their sleep cycle if you stroke them enough to make them startle a little in their sleep without waking, I done this for a week before I notice it working and then it helped me lengthen naps to lengthen wake windows to help ATTEMPT to get a routine which still is being figured but more established than 3 weeks ago xxxx
I haven’t got any advice but I’m going through the same thing with my little girl 😔 gone from sleeping all night to tossing and turning and waking multiple times in the space of a couple days Hopefully it’s just a rough patch for us!
