That is good: it gives them the opportunity to learn new things. The “difficult” behavior is actually a signal that great progress is underway." from the website </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415985 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:10:08 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 415985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO did the same thing, basically. He was sleeping 6+ hour stretches every night, then he got a bit of a cold and so things obviously regressed during that time. Things got a bit better for a couple of weeks, but ever since 3.5 months it's been a big downward spiral. At first he was sleeping only 1-2 hour stretches at night!! Fortunately night sleeping has gotten a bit better (although 4 hours is still the longest stretch we've seen in a while!), but naps have become almost non-existent during the day.<br /> I hear that 4 months tends to coincide with wakefulness and possible teething...I think we just managed to hit both of those early :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415909 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:38:19 +0000 Bao 415909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: What do you guys mean when you say reaching a milestone? May be a stupid question but I've heard of growth spurts but never that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415870 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:14:10 +0000 pastemoo 415870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: This is also what came to my mind.</p> <p>I don't know what it is but I wouldn't worry about the future. Sleeping habits change so quickly with babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415857 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:09:15 +0000 Bao 415857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I hope that's all it is and not a look into the future of how her sleeping habits will be.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415547 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:22:11 +0000 littlek 415547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might be a growth spurt or she could be about to reach a milestone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-not-sleeping-long-stretches-anymore-why#post-415523 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:14:19 +0000 Bao 415523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 3 months old and at around 6 weeks she would sleep a 7 hour stretch before waking up to eat, then it would be followed by a 3-4 hour stretch. Now, she sleeps a 4 hour stretch TOPS, followed by 2-3 hour stretches. Anyone know why all the sudden she isn't sleeping as long anymore? This has been going on for over 2 weeks now. I would love to get those longer stretches back again, so if anyone has any tips, I welcome them all! </p>
