Baby Light Sleeper Naps

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.

Baby light sleeper naps.

In fact 3 6 months is the trickiest period of baby sleep. And between 6 and 12 years of age kids sleep requirements will drop to 9 to 12 hours a day total. And as if that isn t hard enough he s also a very really ridiculously light sleeper and has always been. His naps last anything between 5 60mins.

My ds 6months old wakes up to the slightest pin drop. After that baby transitions into deeper or non rem sleep. Toddlers need less sleep than infants at night. In this time your baby s sleep patterns will change dramatically.

Just like adults babies and toddlers have individual sleep styles. It s not loud where we live at all. The first 20 or so minutes of a nap are light sleep or rem sleep. I am an extremely light sleeper myself but she is super cranky because she is not getting enough sleep.

We co sleep and my every move can wake him. I was even considering ear plugs. 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.

I guess it s mostly naps. 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. My baby is having a hard time with naps because the slightest noise a car even passing by wakes her up. The 2 3 4 nap schedule that will get your baby to sleep marietta now four stayed in her parents room until she was four months old by which point her problems with noise and light and her tendency to wake whenever rezza or her husband moved had become a major issue.

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. We usually put him in the cloth cradle for his naps and always on bed at nights. Slight to slightest sounds like my anklets or sneeze or even door bell can wake him up.
