13 Month old NW EMW
« on: September 19, 2014, 13:10:07 pm »
Help! My DD is all of a sudden waking multiple times thru the night, very hard to settle unless I give a bottle (which I'm positive she doesn't need) our Day times are great, she is cheerful and goes down for her naps relatively well and wakes up well rested. Her appetite is great, no signs of sickness or teething. So I'm thinking is has something to do with our schedule and the 2-1 transition. I've recently switched her naps to maintain the 2 and stop her from fighting her PM nap. For the last week, here is our schedule....

6:45 wake and bottle
10:30-11:45 nap (I wake her)
12:00 lunch
2:45-3:30 ( UT cat nap, take a little to settle, sleeps only for 45 mins)
6:00 Dinner/ bath/ bed
7:00-7:15 Asleep

Two NW
10:30-11:30 ( very upset and difficult to settle up for 15-30mins. Last night we was up again 45 mins later)
3:30-4:30 ( I give her a bottle and she does back down until 7ish)

I'm thinking about just biting the bullet and going for one nap.... But would love some ideas and thoughts!
Please help, this feels like the new own stage again :( so tired.,,,,
 She is usually self soothed with a paci in her bed and has sttn from 5-12 months.

Hmmm. Will she go longer for that first nap if you let her? If it was longer than it could be more restorative, you can always AP a CN in the afternoon if she will go for that. What about short AM and long PM, do you think that could help?

I would work towards getting one nap longer and shortening the CN now. Work your way towards dropping it altogether but I wouldn't go cold turkey with the 2 naps as they are now. x

Thank you, I agree with one nap being longer. If I let her sleep in the AM she will have 1.5-2hr nap, we were doing this, but then I was unable to get the PM CN in. I've found if she sleeps past 11:45am there is no ch ace to get a PM nap, but if I put her down to early in the AM to make that happen I get EMW and an UT 45min nap. I am afraid to cut her nap to 30 mins in the AM. Has this worked in the past for anyone?

At that age we had 13 hour days to fit that CN in.

Yes some people do the long nap in the afternoon with success
