I'm so confused. My nearly 5 month old seems to fluctuate his sleep based on his days in daycare and I can't figure out how to replicate the good night sleep on the weekends.
Lo2 goes to daycare 3 days a week. On those days, he takes 3-5 naps that are between 20 and 50 minutes each. Schedule fluctuates but he generally gets a 5-10 minute car nap around 5:30. On those nights, he goes to bed at 7/7:30, sleeps until 2, feeds and then sleeps until 5:30 - some days he'll feed back to sleep and other days he's up for the day.
On his days home, he takes 3 naps - typically 2, 45 minute and 1, 1,5-2 hour. But here's the rub... On his nights home, he wakes up between 2 and 4 times - this far Sunday night was 10:45 (fed back to aleep), 2 (husband put back to sleep) and 3 (fed back to sleep).
I'm so frustrated and confused! LO1 lived out the mantra "sleep begets sleep" his nights after daycare were terrible because he got ao little sleep. Eventually we sleep trained and that helped naps and nighttime.
I just can't figure this guy out... Why does he sleep worse after a good schedule of daytime naps??
