I have an almost 3 month old son who doesn’t seem to sleep very good past 430am! We have had him in his crib since he was 3 weeks old per the pediatrician because he was rolling on his side in his bassinet. Our room is right across the hall from our sons and I am debating if I need to move my room downstairs because I find it much easier to just go in and cuddle with my son at 330/430 when he starts getting fidgety. I’m not sure if moving downstairs will help or make it worse. I feel like because he is just feet away from us I just go in and now he’s doing it out of habit, if I’m further downstairs I wouldn’t be so quick to go right there when he gets like that. I do have to go back to work in a couple weeks so I need to break this habit fast! Any advice? How do I get my son to sleep “in” longer than 430ish?! He does take naps throughout the day, I would say he sleeps a total of 5 hours during the day, he gets his last bottle around 1130/12 and is getting 5oz every feeding! HELP! TIA!
Maybe try to feed him a little more before you lay him down last. If he’s full-but not over full he MIGHT sleep a little longer. Also, try keeping him up more during the day! It helps!
He sounds like an early bird. My son used to wake up, everymorning, at 630 am. I started a routine, and when he napped, i napped. Routine is key.
Try giving more or put some rice cereal in last bottle. But my youngest was an early bird and was up exactly at 5 am she would start crying just before alarm would go off
He’s only three months old. They don’t typically sleep all night and 3:30/4 is a pretty good time. They wet and hungry. Typically a good change and formula/breast milk they usually go right back to sleep. I got lucky with my son and he was a all night sleeper since 4 months but he would wake up around the time you mentioned and most the time is because he’s in a wet diaper. Soon as I changed him and fed him he fell right back sleep.
My oldest was up by 5 every morning when he was a baby. He’d go to bed whenever I put him to bed and still wake up by 5.
If hes a waking up happy and just kinda blabbing to himself just leave him, if hea crying try to feed him and lay him back down after some cuddles.
5 hours during the day is pretty excessive. Lower it to no more than 3 hours during the day and you should get an extra couple of hours at night.
Its common for 3-4 months old not to sleep through the night, very common. The baby will sleep longer as they get older it’s okay. Patience.
I’m confused. Are you wanting to move to a different floor so you can more easily ignore him?
Just stay in his room feed him, wrap him up and put him back to bed.
Babies go through sleep regression around this age… only go into his room if he is freaking out… you need to let him learn how to soothe himself. If you need to go in just go I do what you need to do. Feed/diaper change and put him back in his crib. He will grow out of this phase. If you have a mobile or aquarium in his crib turn that on and let him play in his crib.
Some babies sleep through the night and some don’t. Sometimes they wake up for a reason weither they r hungry or need a diaper change or just want some cuddles. Just put him back in his crib once he falls asleep again. Maybe keep him up a little more during the day so at night when he wakes up he will want to go back to bed.
Have you tried putting back his bed time? Just increase the time between his last nap and his bed time by 15 min or so every few days.
Cut his nap in the day put him to bed earlier and maybe he will wake once in the night for a feeding or a quick change and back to bed
