Baby Light Sleeper Naps

I was even considering ear plugs.

Baby light sleeper 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. 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. I guess it s mostly naps.

Even moving marietta to the nursery didn t help. In this time your baby s sleep patterns will change dramatically. 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. Just like adults babies and toddlers have individual sleep styles.

And between 6 and 12 years of age kids sleep requirements will drop to 9 to 12 hours a day total. His naps last anything between 5 60mins. Sometimes even if i turn my head or move my arm. Though her room was.

Slight to slightest sounds like my anklets or sneeze or even door bell can wake him up. The idea behind wake to sleep is that you re supporting your child through the transition from one sleep cycle to the next. After that baby transitions into deeper or non rem sleep. We co sleep and my every move can wake him.

We usually put him in the cloth cradle for his naps and always on bed at nights. It is so tough to make him sleep through his 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. The first 20 or so minutes of a nap are light sleep or rem sleep.

Toddlers need less sleep than infants at night. In fact 3 6 months is the trickiest period of baby sleep. It s not loud where we live at all. Mathilda my oldest was always a light sleeper while her brother a j could nap in a construction zone.
