My great sleeper is disappearing ...

Posted by Rudy on October 12, 2001 at 10:39:13:

She's not sick, she may be teething, but my 5-month old baby has been sleeping terrible off and on these last few weeks. She used to sleep about 10 and 1/2 hours a night with a two-hour nap in the morning, a 2.5 hour nap in the early afternoon and a 30-minute catnap in the early evening. Now she has cut her naps to 1 hour and 20 minutes this morning and who knows what else this afternoon. She usually sleeps about 15 hours a day. I realize this will start cutting back but not like this. Can teething effect her this much? She is so hit or miss right now -- it's driving me nuts! Any advice?
