[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... How much is your baby sleeping and eating?[/quote]

OP here. Here is his schedule that he had been on since 3 months. It has changed because she used to sleep even more.

Wakes at 6:30/7am

Eats 6:30/7am - 6oz, 9:30/10 - 6oz, 12:30/1 - 6oz, 3:30/4, 6oz, and 6:30/7 - 8oz

Naps: 8/8:30 - 9:30/10 - 90 minutes, 11/11:30 - 12:30/1 - 90 minutes, 2/2:30 - 3:30/4, 90 minutes, and 5/5:30 - 30 minutes

Bedtime is 7:30/8 and he sleeps until 6:30/7am - 11 hours

He can’t stay up for more than 90 minutes unless bedtime which is usually about 2 hours. He does 90 minutes up, 90 minutes down. Some days he won’t sleep well but that is usually maybe once a week. He sleeps 15-16 hours a day.

He had always been a big sleeper. He was sleeping 18-20 hours for the first month and eating 10-12 times a day, then dropped down to 17-18 hours between 1-2 months with 10 feeds, then 16-18 hours with 7-8 feeds between 2-3 months. Then he started sleeping 11 hours after his 3 month growth spurt and started eating 5 times a day.

OP here. Besides her saying he sleeps a lot, she has said most babies his age stay up for 2-3 hours between naps. He can’t really do more than 90 minutes before he starts getting tired. [/quote]

There’s literally a book called “The 90-Minute Baby Sleep Program” by Dr. Polly Moore. Yes, talk to your doctor, but it sounds like your baby is an on-the-clock 90 minute sleeper. You should get the book, it’s good![/quote]

Sorry OP but your nanny sounds super annoying and does not know what she’s talking about. I have an 8 month old and she only recently has been able to stay up for 2.5 hours. 90 minutes for a 4 month old is normal. I would find another nanny.[/quote]
