Can I know why my 4 mths old baby keep yawning? He will always wake up 30min duration for his nap himself without being disturbed. Not enough sleep?

He doesn't sleep on his own, am I right? if yes, he has reached the golden age where his sleep pattern has changed. as long as he doesn't know how to self-soothe to sleep, he wouldn't know how to connect his sleep cycles. Once 30mins is up, he's up too. yawning is an indication that he doesn't have enough rest. At this age, naps must be at least 1h to be restorative. Same thing happened to my 7MO three months ago and that's when we feel it is time he has to learn how to sleep independently.

Hi Nana, you need to stop nursing him to sleep ( i made this mistake previously too). you don't have to refer him to a PD, you need to inculcate good sleeping habits. if you need help on how to start a nap/bedtime routine and sleep training, you can use the info in my blog which I wrote for my friends: www.thefirsttimemama.com Hope this helps!
