Baby Light Sleeper Naps

Though her room was.

Baby light sleeper naps.

My baby is having a hard time with naps because the slightest noise a car even passing by wakes her up. I was even considering ear plugs. In fact 3 6 months is the trickiest period of baby sleep. It s not loud where we live at all.

Just like adults babies and toddlers have individual sleep styles. I guess it s mostly naps. We usually put him in the cloth cradle for his naps and always on bed at nights. The first 20 or so minutes of a nap are light sleep or rem sleep.

Mathilda my oldest was always a light sleeper while her brother a j could nap in a construction zone. In this time your baby s sleep patterns will change dramatically. We co sleep and my every move can wake him. The idea behind wake to sleep is that you re supporting your child through the transition from one sleep cycle to the next.

Sometimes even if i turn my head or move my arm. And as if that isn t hard enough he s also a very really ridiculously light sleeper and has always been. My ds 6months old wakes up to the slightest pin drop. Although your toddler s daytime sleep will steadily lessen as he gives up his 2 naps a day many toddlers still need 11 to 12 hours of nighttime sleep until they reach 5 years.

It is so tough to make him sleep through his naps. After that baby transitions into deeper or non rem sleep. I am an extremely light sleeper myself but she is super cranky because she is not getting enough sleep. During these few months your baby s sleep will become a lot more like ours as adults with more distinct periods of light and deep sleep and more neurologically differentiated sleep cycles.

Toddlers need less sleep than infants at night. Even moving marietta to the nursery didn t help. I posted a few times before about my son who doesn t like sleep very much wakes up often at night puts up a fight for day naps etc. Slight to slightest sounds like my anklets or sneeze or even door bell can wake him up.
