Baby sleep: what's normal, and when? Check out our sleep expert's guide to the (average 🙂) daytime and night-time 💤to expect in your child's first 12 months: baby parenting sleep
Most babies will be down to 2 day naps at this point: usually a short 45mins nap in the morning and a 1.5 to 2 hour nap post lunch.
Separation anxiety and increased physical development can cause a sleep regression around 8 to 10 months . If this happens, my advice is to give your little one as much support as they need but try not to introduce any dependencies that you might not want in the future.Well done! You are coming to the end of your 1st year. As amazing as parenthood is, it's hard at times and you should be so proud of yourself.
No. There is a bit of a myth that bottle-fed babies sleep better at night but there isn't much evidence of this. There are some differences in the early days; a breastfed baby may cluster feed before bed which sometimes leads to a later bedtime but it also can mean they sleep a longer stretch after this. After the 4-month sleep regression, what makes the biggest difference in how many times a baby will wake up is the ability to transition themselves between sleep cycles.
The 4-month sleep regression is a good indication of your baby's sleep development. Some preemie babies hit the 4-month regression at their birth age; some at their corrected age. This is a good anchor to understand where they are progressing from a sleep perspective.There is an age-old phrase that 'you shouldn't wake a sleeping baby'. I've never really bought into that.
Firstly, a newborn baby should be woken for feeds if they are asleep too long. And there are some situations where an older baby should be woken too. It's important that your baby gets the right amount of sleep over a 24 hour period and that the periods they are awake in the day are not too long for their age. Therefore, if one of their naps is running too long it's often best to wake them to ensure you can fit in another nap.
