Thanks Creations
Oh that's what it meaaaans
...yes I agree with that not being the "normal" routine because it never stuck around for us. As I mentioned previously, 12 hr nights were random and on days he was OT. We are more on the 11-10 hr nights (although last night he gave me 8hr night sigh...)
That routine you posted above was our usual for awhile. We just have randomly gone through one of the many phases with these infants
...just trying to get back on track
...will set naps really be efficient at his age? I can't get a 7am wake up? So what about on days he does 5am 6am 6:30.. 7? ....the set naps wouldn't be accurate, kwim? Like, if his set nap is 9 am but wakes at 7am... I doubt the set nap will work and then it would be another EBT due to short naps, kwim? These inconsistent WU times and EWs are just throwing off his normal routine.. I would love that routine above though! Yes the CN causes too much day sleep. He's always been LSN and does better the times I've capped naps. But he's a pretty good sleeper that I've had to wake from naps often. Haha. I would be good with shifting the day and not having to do that CN. I rarely do CN. As I mentioned, it's been awhile (except the last few days I have because of EWs and short days) since I've done CNs... But I do get more night sleep without it... But then end up w the early start of our day and a short end to our day too.
DS1 sounds like ur LO! I couldn't stretch at all! Or felt I couldn't. I too put up with 5am for years...
...would hope to and willing to, so diff this time haha. He handles OT a bit better. Haha
Also, how much day sleep would he need now at this age? 2 naps of 1.5 generally correct? ...usually when he does nap in the morning, should I cap at 1.5? Or allow for a solid 2hr nap.. And cap the next? If I do that, I will still end up with an EBT... Which will cause an early rise the next day. His nap would maybe be over around 3pm and then need BT at 6... If I do a CN, that caused too much day sleep and he will still be up and ready to party at the break of dawn
:p ...
