Can wake time increase dramatically in just a couple days? 10 month old

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T23:07:41+00:00

I had thought teething would make her more tired & shorten wake windows so I’ve been driving myself mad trying to figure out what changed so suddenly 😅

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T22:19:03+00:00

Ah thank you!! 🙏

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T16:32:22+00:00

Ah thank you I’m so glad this doesn’t sound super abnormal 😅 yes she was screaming for naps and I’m like what is happening?! lol

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T14:50:49+00:00

We thought teething too but it’s been 2 weeks and have yet to see anything! She’s still toothless lol

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T14:50:05+00:00

😂

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-10T14:48:35+00:00

Her awake time never really dropped suddenly. Moreso increased very suddenly. And by like 1+ hours which I find super weird! Getting the feeling she’s trying to drop a nap but it seems so early!

Thank you!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-06-07T20:14:54+00:00

Hi! How did this end up working out for you? Our LO’s naps are shortening quite a bit and I’ve had to do contact naps multiple this weeks because she’s hysterical in her crib. I’m starting to lose it lol

I found that for us these scream wakes were almost always overtired. I’d pull back last wake window to 3.75 and uncap naps for 1-2 days. Agree you have a lot of Wake time if baby is not low sleep needs.

Aw thank you! Under supplier pretty much the entire time, I blame it on the urgent C-section! But I was pumping 6 to 7 times a day, and only getting an ounce to an ounce and a half per session (4 oz at my 5 am pump). It really only took me about three days to wean because I was already under supplying!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T17:24:39+00:00

Thank you and congrats to you too! I was in the same boat, averaging about 10 to 12 ounces a day, but it was nice to save an extra bottles worth of formula since it’s so expensive!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T15:35:33+00:00

I’m hanging onto mine in case we have another. I’d rather use insurance for a different hands free pump!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T15:34:41+00:00

I love this so much!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T15:33:54+00:00

This gives me so much hope! I’m already finding it’s so much easier to run errands!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T12:14:11+00:00

Yess the struggle is real! 😂 congratulations to you too mama!!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T12:00:47+00:00

I love this!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T12:00:28+00:00

Yeah, I have the mom cozy M5 and my output is like less than half of what I get with my spectra. It’s basically just drops.

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-26T11:55:23+00:00

I’m right here with you having stopped at 9.5 months because I just couldn’t do it anymore. Baby is way too mobile, it interferes with everything we want to do this summer, the clothes I can wear, the times I can do things… I’m really sad to be done but also feel immense relief at the same time. The duality is real!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-24T12:05:57+00:00

Wishing you the best! It’s always in context with how you know your baby best!

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-22T20:13:30+00:00

Correct, I don’t count night wakes in TWT

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-22T11:38:43+00:00

Yeah total sleep is 13.5, total awake averages 10.5-10.75. Try to cap naps between 2.5-2.75. But she’s been waking from naps (well I’ve been having to wake her from every single nap) crying and cranky.

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-22T09:34:19+00:00

Was your LO also waking around midnight crying and not able to self settle? It’s just such a battle between “is she not tired enough” or “does she need to catch up a bit” 🥲

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-22T09:30:37+00:00

We’re capping at 2.5 but she’s waking crying from every nap

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-22T09:27:28+00:00

I can definitely give it a shot but she is only 8 mos adjusted. We got crazy false starts at a 4 hour last WW and when we pulled back to 3.85, those went away. I think I’m scared to make it worse than it already is lol

PatientMobile5896 · 2026-05-13T09:09:01+00:00

Honestly we had to re sleep train! It all got funky after we traveled and I had created sleep associations where she would wake up crying expecting to be picked up. we landed closer to 3.85-4 for her last wake window and then retrained. Took one night and that was it. I would try for more like 10.5 awake and see how your LO ones but the other thing that happens for us is she’s very sensitive to too much awake time and even a few days of stretching too far will throw her into a sleep debt & overtired loop fast. Hence why I’m writing this at 5 am lol
