I swear my LO always keeps us guessing. Normally has one night waking and wakes between 5 & 7 but is clearly happier when its closer to 7... He learned to put himsel to sleep last week and I thought that might mean more consistent or longer night sleep.. No changes.

Yesterday was a crazy day with tons of stimulation and new family.. Tried to put him down earlier after an early ish last nap and he was just bananas, babbling and wide Awake after nursing.

After an hour of trying to calm him down I nursed him again out if desperation and he passed out, half hour past his normal bed time.

And he slept his longest ever until 5 am and then, even weirder, has gone back down to sleep.

Sometimes everything I thought I knew or read is completely opposite of what actually happens!! Ack!
