Our 5 month old seem to be unable to sleep through the night and will wake up every 1-2 hours.She typically wakes up to feed, but as the night drags on she more frequently wakes herself up through her head and arms thrashing about. When this happens just rocking her for a few minutes puts her to sleep.I don't expect her to sleep through the night, but I'm concerned that she is unable to sleep more than 1-2 hours at a time.As far as napping goes, she can nap 2-4 hours in the daytime. We try not to let her nap within 4 hours of her bedtime, but that doesn't seem to help. She is babysat the majority of the weekdays, so there is little control over her napping schedule until we get here in the evening.I have tried keeping her awake, so she had gone 6 hours without napping before her bed time, but she was fussy and that had no effect on her sleeping behavior, so I didn't want to do that again.I guess I'm just looking for advice if this is typical and if there is anything we can do to help the situation. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GuonzB
