I have a high sleep need LO averaging 16 hours a day (10 night & 6 day). Recently LO has been taking three hours to fall into 1st “longer” cycle ranging from 2 hours to 4 hours and then awake every hour after. When I say takes three hours to fall asleep, LO will be put down around 7:30-8, sleep an hour and be up for a feed or rock to sleep for three hours.
When LO wakes up after the long stretch, sometimes it is a very short 5 minute feed for comfort or simply rocking to sleep.
Is this just baby being baby? Sleep regression? Or am I doing something wrong with her sleep. We do keep our eyes on wake windows and sleepy cues. She only stays awake an average of an hour during the day.
Also LO already rolls back to stomach and has been unswaddled for 3 weeks
