Chance is hooked on sleeping!

Man alive, Chance is sleeping all the time it seems today!

His usual morning nap at 10 or 10:30: 30 minutes. Morning nap on Monday: 30 minutes. Morning nap on Tuesday: 1 hour. Morning nap today: 1 hour 40 minutes.

His usual afternoon nap in stroller around 1 PM: 1 hour. Afternoon nap on Monday 1 hour 30 minutes (30 minutes in car, 1 hour in crib). Afternoon nap on Tuesday: 2 hours (in stroller). Afternoon nap today: back in the crib. I couldn't keep him awake long enough to get him into the stroller!

He is still sleeping approx. 8 PM til 8 AM. Last night he was up 3x to nurse, at 11, 2, and 4. Maybe that's why he is so sleepy today! Another possibility - effect of antibiotic? Unlikely, I think, as I have been taking it since Friday. He has been nursing frequently through the days (a few days in a row it was every hour) and through the night as well, potentially another growth spurt going on. Another factor is that over the past few days he has taken his naps at the same time, +/- 15 minutes or so. Perhaps structuring the day more will result in better naps (BRAINWAVE!).
