@mra22 Wow that’s amazing! I sort of doubt he’ll start in the next couple of weeks but it just shows it can happen anytime. How was his sleep before that? Was it a sudden or gradual change?

@maribelcaban Thankyou. How do you decide which nap to transfer for? And what made you choose 5 months?

@pandyreturnshuzzah That’s so annoying when you can’t fall back asleep, happens to me too sometimes.

@victorbess That’s a good option to extend the nap actually thank you. Best of both worlds.

@badone Im 35 & pregnant with our “one”. We delayed trying to conceive to go on a scuba diving honeymoon & I got pregnant after 4 months of trying so no regrets.

@srm332 Thankyou. 😊 My son also has low sleep needs. It’s not so much that I want him to sleep more, just to make sure I’m not interrupting the naps he would have on me by trying to transfer him all the time before he’s ready.

@beardedbloke That’s disappointing about your husband. I think when it comes to boob stuff they can feel a bit stuck as to how to help but the banana sounds like a great idea. I’m glad he’s happy in the day at least!

@rups At least as they get bigger they need less naps so you’re not stuck at home so much!🤞

@beardedbloke That’s great he’s doing longer stretches but rough to be up at 4am. 😣

@beardedbloke That sucks your husband doesn’t help at that age. Does he sleep long stretches before 4am?

@srm332 Thank you that’s helpful. What made you decide it was time to try or that he was ready?

I have a 3.5 month old and he sleeps in his cot at night but we contact nap during the day because naps in his cot are very short (20-45mins) and he’s prone to overtiredness. I’m ok with it for now but it doesn’t feel sustainable long term (I’d like to be able to sleep too or do some stretching...

@heavenstudent Thank you! I’m the same, intellectually I know it but emotionally I don’t believe it sometimes. 😣 That sounds great. Was it a gradual improvement for your son or a sudden shift?

@pleasant That’s interesting the second half of the night is usually worse for us. 8-10 times sounds rough. I know what you mean about feeling trapped by their sleep needs. I go to bed at the same time as my baby in order to get enough sleep so I get very little time to myself or with my...

@pleasant Yeah I bring him into bed the second half of the night and it definitely helps although I feel like I sleep better with him in his cot next to me. I guess I’m lucky he does 3-4 pretty often then! Although the rest of the night is often 1-2 hour chunks. So your daughter is still...

@mshade Haha same! Very similar. But yours is approaching 2 so hopefully she’ll start to sleep better soon. 🤞

@mshade Oh I go to bed pretty much the same time as him so that helps haha. Glad to hear you’re coping ok. How often is your bub waking up at 20 months?

@aaronlove Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for the encouragement! I’m feeling heaps better about it all today after reading these responses.

@aaronlove Wow you had a really rough time, thank you for sharing. I do feel encouraged! I also go to bed soon after baby does and try to be ready for sleep when I’m nursing him to sleep. I hope you start to recover soon. So it was a gradual improvement for your daughter after 6 months?

@animore Yeah those longer stretches really help me too! I hope it continues for you! 🤞
