As the title says… has anyone else experienced this with their LO?

My LO just turned 5 months old yesterday. Over the past couple of weeks she has had some amazing progression in her development— naturally extending her wake windows from 1.5-2 hours to 2.5-3 hours, and becoming even more alert, active, happy, and vocal. Now, just over the past couple of days, she seems to be more fussy in general and especially around the 1 hour mark of her wake windows— by 1.5 hours she is clearly uncomfortable and needing a naps. She is still alert, active, happy, and vocal but it feels like significantly less so. Her night sleep seems unaffected (10-12 hours with 2-3 wakeups for feeding and/or comfort).

Admittedly I have PPA/OCD that I’m struggling to manage. I chronically think and worry about neurodevelopmental issues (the current subject of my OCD), and regressions terrify me. So this small issue which seems like a regression of sorts is sending me into a spiral. I will be asking her pediatrician at our next appointment but in the mean time I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this with their LO and/or knows whether it’s normal?
