Three months have passed and now your baby is entering the second trimester. At this point every parent want to know how much their baby should be sleeping as parents did not get enough sleep during the first 3 months of their baby life. Most parents want to know when they will get their sleeping pattern back to normal and want to know what to expect at this stage.
Baby sleeping pattern during their 3-6 months old varies from one to another. Although, babies at the age of 3-6 months are able to sleep longer at night, this doesn't mean you should suddenly apply a rigid sleep program on your baby at 3-4 months old.
In fact, your baby may already have developed their own sleeping patterns. Some may just sleep 6 hours during the night and have about 3-5 hours nap in the afternoon, some may sleep 12 hours straight with some short naps during the day, and with breastfed babies, some may have regular sleep and wake time to get fed more. This may not sound so much relieving if you're hoping for sudden eight or nine hours of sleep for yourself. But it's an important milestone for you as well as your baby, and by 6 months or before, your baby will be likely to be ready for night long sleep.
So what are the signs he is tired?
He is crying - listen for the tone of the cry
He seems clumsy - easier to tell in an older baby
He has recently been fed so is not hungry
He has no wind
He is comfortable - not too hot and not too cold
He has a clean diaper
He is not over or under-stimulated
He has been awake for a while
As your baby hits the three-month mark it becomes a little easier as he will gave you the tired sign by rubbing his eyes.
