My advice, put the jug on as soon as he goes down, that way you have 40 minutes to enjoy the cuppa tea....

#3 here is the cat napper but sleeps all night so I can't complain

Like the others say she throws in the longer sleep in the arvo sometimes. No idea how or when or why she does it ]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:28:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811629&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811629 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811608&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811608 Author: Buntingsmum

I'm with Hopes and Danda.
I remember the plunket nurse telling me that if I couldn't get DS to sleep more than one sleep cycle during the day he'd never sleep through the night - despite the fact he already was!!! (sounds like yours is too!). He happily has 2-2 and half hour naps during the day now.
The hours I wasted trying to get him back to sleep ... I agree, not worth the drama. He got there in the end.]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:03:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811608&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811608 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811528&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811528 Author: Danda08

Have to say I'm with Hopes on this one. My twins were catnappers and I tried every trick I could find to get them to sleep longer during the day, nothing worked and once a week they would each have a longer sleep unaided by me.

It was so stressful always trying to get them to sleep and in hindsight not worth the drama.

Thanks Hopes,

I am a real fretter and considering this is NOT WHAT I want my child to become perhaps I should chillax. It's so easy to get caught up in the rules (or lack of).

I think you're asking the baby-whisperer-lady, but my two cents for what it's worth: I've have two catnapping babies. The first one, I tried everything under the sun to get him to sleep more than one sleep cycle. Nothing worked (except for very limited success with a dummy) and I thought he'd be ruined for life Of course, he grew up, at about age one when he dropped to one nap a day and started sleeping much longer.

Number two is also a catnapper. This time, I'm not stressing. She can sleep in 45-minute blocks if she wants. It's a much more pleasant experience, and I know she'll grow out of it with time. So if baby is happy and you're happy, do remember that chosing not to worry is a valid option ]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:05:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811504&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811504 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811490&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811490 Author: Katie.S.Williams

Hi,

My 4 month old sleeps 12 hours at night and then has 3 to 4 45 minute naps during the day. This is our current flexi routine.

In your seminar you put a fair bit of emphasis on resettling your baby so that it sleeps through two cycles. Is this necessary if they nap so often?

Thanks so much,
Kat]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:29:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42510&PID=5811490&title=4-month-old-sleeping-amounts#5811490
