HOW BABIES SLEEP SUCCESS STORY: Shortening Naps

Mom Amber wanted help with three-month-old baby Mason’s sleep, because his nighttime sleep was erratic: sometimes he would sleep six hours in a stretch and once even seven hours, but sometimes he would wake up after only one and a half hours of sleeping, demanding to be fed. Yet he didn’t seem very hungry at those times, and fell asleep while nursing. He was napping around four and a half hours a day.

In addition to making key changes to the light settings in the nursery to help entrain Mason to a better sleep schedule, we had to shorten his naps to three and a half hours total, which is the average for children his age. We transitioned him from four naps to three, with respective durations of one hour, one and a half hours, and then one hour again.

Amber called me up a few days later and happily told me that Mason’s sleep had improved practically overnight, and he was now sleeping 6-hour stretches most nights.
