If its not one thing, its another

Olivia is now finally not swaddled for her naps and sleeps:smiliedance: . However, she used to sleep for up to 1 - 1 1/2 at a time, now she is waking up after her sleep cycles and wont go back to sleep:banghead: . This is only during the day.

Should I go back to swaddling during the day or perservere a bit longer and try to get her back to sleep?

Isn't it funny, you conquer one thing to face another challenge?

Oh, her sleep cycles are about 40 mins

How does Olivia sleep at night, does she go for long periods, if so i wouldnt worry my twins do this and during the night they can go up to 6 hours

Amelia also recently joined the the ranks of the unwrapped and also has started going down for only 1 sleep cycle - I call them her 40 minute specials! I tried resettling her but :banghead: . So I just let her go, she now wakes at 7ish and has 4-5 "specials" until she goes down for her big (6-8hrs) at about 7-8pm. In the end I figured it was easier on all involved if we just followed Amelia's lead:)

have you tried just wrapping the lower half tightly? that's what i do and he sleeps for up 2- 2.5hrs :yelclap: !!

mind you though he wasn't swaddled at all and have just started this, i think it's the firmness that he likes
