nzpiper if hes happy to be awake that long and then has a decent sleep after I wouldn't worry. Whats the point of spending half an hour trying to get him to sleep when hes happy to be awake and playing. Some babies are more awake than other. ]]> Sat, 17 Nov 2007 10:43:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=248086&title=awake-too-much#248086 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=248035&title=awake-too-much#248035 Author: Mum2ET

Ella doesn't rub her eyes or yawn either while she is playing- normally I have to remove her from all stimulation and only then will she show me that she is tired. Maybe after 1 - 1/2 hrs try putting him in his cot and see what he does.
I was told by plunket that at 4 months babies shouldn't be up for more than 1 1/2 hrs, 5 months 1 hr 45 and 6 months 2 hrs.

I'm not seeing any of his normal tired signs. Mind you...like I said, he has changed the rules. Perhaps he's got "big boy" tired signs now.

Hey nzpiper, one of the things they do when tired which can be easy to miss and hard to explain is that they jig about a bit then kind of stare out into space then jig about again without actually really looking tired. (god I hope that doesn't sound mad)
Is there anything he does when tired that you could use as a test?
With Spencer if I'm not sure if he's tired I pick him up and if he is he rubs his face into my shoulders and if he isn't he just looks around, is a good way for me to test if he isn't giving any signs but he has been up for while.

Edit - cos I can't spell or write properly

Do you like to feed every 3 hrs, is it a routine for you and Tom? I just wondering because you say that you start to make noises to wake him. Why not just let him sleep till he wakes up?]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:12:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247964&title=awake-too-much#247964 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247955&title=awake-too-much#247955 Author: peanut butter

When bubbas get overtired their bodies get flooded with adrenalin so his "hypnerness" could be as a result of that maybe.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:13:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247929&title=awake-too-much#247929 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247923&title=awake-too-much#247923 Author: peanut butter

He is usually still smiling and giggling away. When he is tired he loses concentration and wont make eye contact etc. We arent getting this. He seems almost hyper!!

Well its only been a few days so lets see how things go.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:09:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247923&title=awake-too-much#247923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247884&title=awake-too-much#247884 Author: ShellandBella

I'm having the same trouble, Nikki...Bella is somewhere between 2 and 3 naps now, and can stay up for 2 hours easily without showing any tired signs. I think you just have to go with it...if Tom seems happy with it all, then I'm sure it is fine ]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 18:59:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247884&title=awake-too-much#247884 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247858&title=awake-too-much#247858 Author: kebakat

We went 4.5 hours between feeds when we went to the parent and child show when Spencer was 10 weeks so don't worry about that.
If he is happy when awake I wouldn't worry about it.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:52:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247841&title=awake-too-much#247841 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12306&PID=247836&title=awake-too-much#247836 Author: peanut butter

Tom has changed the rules on me again! He now has HUGE day sleeps (3hours) and then wants to be awake for 3-4 hours!!!!!! He is only little! But he doesnt seem tired and is still sleeping normally (for him) at night.

Our days have been recently like this....

6am   Wake and feed
7am   Totally buggered....back to sleep
10am I start making noises in his room to wake him....feed
1pm   Why is he not tired???? Feed and then try to get back to bed.   He naps on and off till about 4pm
4pm   WIDE AWAKE
7pm   Bed!!
10pm feed
3am   feed
7am   start all over again.

Today we went to the show and lost track of time. We went 4.5 hours between feeds!!! I felt awful.

What do you think???
