Catnapping.....

by Kate Ross June 25, 2019

One of the main reasons people contact me is because they had a great sleeper but they have turned into a catnapper. I define a catnap as a sleep any less than forty minutes in length. Your baby isn’t waking because they have had enough sleep rather they are unable to link their sleep cycles. This is going from the lighter (active sleep) to the deeper (quiet) sleep. Catnapping can be age appropriate and usually starts anywhere from 2-5 months. Having a catnapper can cause you as a parent a lot of angst, especially if you have read a lot and value the importance of sleep. Like everything with infants it takes some time and commitment, today I will share a few tips on what to do.
