Enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1282131 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 22:52:37 +0000 Periwinkle 1282131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, after this morning's marathon sleep, LO took the longest nap he's ever taken- 3.5 hours in the afternoon/evening (2:30-6:00pm)! I was convinced he would not be ready for sleep again until midnight after that but surprisingly, he went down at about 8pm, only a half hour or so later than usual bedtime. </p> <p>Of course, I am now watching the monitor like a hawk, thinking that he'll be ready to party in the middle of the night! Hopefully, he will have a normal-ish night and get his rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281774 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 15:07:57 +0000 Periwinkle 1281774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: that sounds heavenly, though! I would love for LO to fall asleep in my arms. He's been very fussy most of the time and only wants to be in my arms while simultaneously wiggling to break free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281700 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:45:18 +0000 Tidybee 1281700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He clearly needs the rest. I would definitely skip the morning nap and hope for that long afternoon nap.<br /> Lucky you!! DD is in a clingy phase which is totally carrying over to night time and only wants to sleep in our arms...which she has never done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281699 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:43:42 +0000 Periwinkle 1281699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I enjoyed it and he slept until 9:30! No morning nap but I'm hoping for a nice, snowy afternoon afternoon nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281426 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 09:18:44 +0000 hilsy85 1281426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He needs the sleep! I would say if this becomes a regular thing you might need to think about adjusting his schedule, but if its a one time thing, enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281395 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 08:37:55 +0000 loveisstrange 1281395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He may just be adjusting to sleeping later to prepare to drop a nap. </p> <p>If he's sleeping, it's because he needs the sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-sleep#post-1281384 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 08:29:22 +0000 Periwinkle 1281384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (13 months old) was a horrendous sleeper until recently. Up many times at night, waking early, erratic naps, etc. He has done much better since his first birthday last month. </p> <p>During the week, he will often wake early, around 5am and I will nurse him and put him back down. He'll usually sleep for about 2-2.5 more hours. On weekends, he will do the same and then talk/fuss/have conversations with his loveys in his crib for a while. </p> <p>It's almost 8:30am now and while he's cried out a few times, he's fallen back asleep before I could get out of bed to get him. I know this sounds nuts, coming from a mama who prayed for sleep at any point not all too long ago, but I am now concerned that he's getting too much sleep this morning. He will usually go down for his morning nap at about 10am but that may not happen today. </p> <p>Part of me is jumping up for joy because he's allowed me to sleep in a bit (!) but the other part of me is kicking myself for not running in there sooner each time he's stirred. Please reassure me that he must need the sleep if he is still resting and that he hasn't fallen asleep out of boredom because I let him fuss for a few minutes! </p>
