10wk old no longer napping as well/drinking more - development leap??

[kitten2014]

Also, after a couple of really good days and nights of at least 7-11hrs sleep at night with no feed and at least 3 or 4 hour long naps...last night she kept waking every hour and then I caved at 1.30am and gave her a bottle, which didnt make her sleep longer and only served to wake me up fully and then I couldnt sleep til 4am! Was shattered as she then woke at 5.30...left her to her noises and eventual crying by 6.30am as was determined that the day wasnt going to start any earlier...Then on top of that today she has had four tiny naps 20mins-40mins since 5.30 this morning (one in pushchair on walk cos thought she'd sleep longer with that), she is napping now but also guessing will only get 30mins, one of the naps earlier was with me/on me as I needed the rest and thought mayb she'd sleep longer...nope 20mins again...combined with this she has been properly guzzling pretty much every hr to two hrs and has already hit her usual daily amount at 5pm!

we are doing the usual playmat/rolling over practice/tummy time that we do 2-3 times per day to tire her plus lots of 'babbling sessions', Ive had lots of smiles and giggles so know that she's content....Could she be going through the third leap do you reckon? She has appeared to be more clingy with me...she has also been trying to 'go' since about lunchtime and seems this time around to be more painful for her so she keeps falling asleep and it wakes her...could be a number of things but wondered whether anyone else had this after about a week and a half of good sleeping/eating patterns developing...sigh...fx she sleeps solid tonight but I am not going to do a dreamfeed this time....I am ignoring any sound thats not a cry...soo hard when you struggle to sleep lol...

Is she showing any signs of being unwell if she's clingy more than usual?

I don't remember specifically this being a problem time with my eldest, if anything this was when he started sleeping through at night. He was always a crappy napper too!

My youngest can be a bit unsettled and grumpy if he's a bit bunged up with poo. He's had a few days when he wakes up or is restless from about 5-6 am. He'll lay in bed half asleep grunting and wriggling. I can guarantee when he's like this he'll have a poo by 8am though and then settle back down!

hi littlemonkey, no no signs of illness, it is rather warm though and she has recently been having air conditioner going in her room during the day but off at night, she has now been more than day and a half since no 2 so perhaps thats it but she was like it last night and this morning which wasnt long after last visit so not sure really...trying to settle her for bed now seeing as though she had such an early start and very few naps but failing at the moment...she desperately needs a long sleep bless her...
