Default Does sleeping a 3 hour sleep during the day make my baby sleep less during the night? - 12-14-2008, 03:25 PM

My baby boy is 3 months old, and usually has 45 minute sleeps during the day. Lately, his evening nap has turned into 2.5-3 hours.Is this going to affect his nighttime sleep in anyway.He is a breastfed baby.We usually wake up 2-3 times a night.

No. All they do is eat, sleep, and S*#t all day.

Waking 2 - 3 times a night is very normal for a 3 month old.

getting up 2-3 times in the night- totally normal, mine was to bed at 7, up at 12 then up at 3 until about 5 months, now he only gets up at 3 and I'm pretty excited about that! I know that breast milk is metabolized faster than formula so physiologically they NEED to eat through the night- not their fault- tiny tummies. Having said that I was given advice by a nurse not to let baby sleep more than 2 hours in the day to avoid day-night confusion. Good luck.
