When he was newborn he never really liked to sleep just comstantly feed. Now hes 16 Weeks and he goes to sleep around 9pm sometimes wakes at 12 for a feed or sleeps till around half 4 or 5 for another feed then we get up at 7am, he has a feed and a change and we play but then that thumb goes in his mouth and its 9am and he sleeps for an hour and wakes up and after half an hour the thumbs back in again and he wants to go back to sleep. He seems to do this all day wants to just sleep and if i dont put him down he just screams and nothing soothes him only letting him suck his thumb and go to sleep. Just he used to stay awake from 7am till 2pm, and then nap for a good 3 hours.
My son is 5.5 months and can't go longer then 2 hours without taking a nap. I don't think thats abnormal at all.. at 16 weeks my son couldnt stay awake longer then 1.5 hours top.
Oh i do let him sleep its just he changed so much with how long he stays awake and how often he sleeps through day! Seemed to have gone from not sleeping to always sleepy lol! x
i envy you, my little guy is 15w4d and fights sleep soooo badly..he's just too afraid he's going to miss something lol...I'd just let him sleep, and enjoy it while it lasts he may be going through a growth spurt
Well he does try fight it when he feels tired and he gets drowsy he tenses his whole body and growls to wake him self back up but then crys and gets himself in a right state and then he put the thumb in and off he goes lol! x
sounds like my boy lol..only i do everything in my power to keep his thumb/hand out of his mouth lol, in my theory, I can take a paci away later, i can't take his hand away
