Baby resisting sleep

Hi all, my little one completed 5 months today. Since the past 3-4 days she has been taking longer naps in the day and wakes up cranky from the naps. Before she would sleep easily at night now she has been resisting sleep and will only sleep in my lap. If I put her down she starts crying and this goes on till 12.30am till she’s in deep sleep. Wakes up early by 5am. Is this phase? Is it normal

My baby is the same ! I think it’s teething that’s bothering my little one, maybe that’s the case for you too ?

Don’t let her sleep more then 2 hours during the day or else won’t be tired for bedtime

Mine started waking up multiple times at night at 4.5 months. Before he would only feed once and then all of a sudden he added another feed and then another. We stopped feeding every time he would wake up because we figured out that he is just nursing because he likes to not because he was hungry. But at first I was like omg the baby is hungry and I would give him boob every time. We are down to two feeds at night now. I am hoping I can start weaning him to one a night. But he wakes up at such random times!! Try opening up wake windows during the day. Transition to 3 naps and make sure the longest wake window is before bed 2.5 hours at least.
