Hi Everyone,
When DD was about 5 months she decided she wanted to drop her late afternoon cat nap even though i didn't think this would happen until she was at least 6 months. Anyway though we would have things under control and things wouldn't change until she was around 9 months. Up until a few days ago this was how DD's day looked like:
6.45/7am - Wake
7.30am - Bottle
8.15am - Breakfast
9.30am - Sleep (Anywhere from 1.30mins to 1.45mins sometimes 2 hrs no longer than that)
12pm - Lunch
1pm - Bottle
2pm - Sleep same as above
4pm - Snack (just introduced)
5pm - Dinner
6pm - Bath
6.30pm - Bottle
7pm - Sleep for the night.
However over the last few days i have noticed DD has been waking a bit earlier in the morning (around 6.30am
) and her naps are starting to get shorter (1.15mins
) Also i find DD isn't tired at 2pm anymore to go for her nap. She is still falling asleep within 5 mins for sleeps though but i don't want to get to the stage where is crying at nap/bedtime which is what happened before we did the 3-2nap transition.
I also want to push out her bath time to 6.30pm as DH isn't get home until then and he likes to do this and make bedtime 7.15/30pm instead.
I guess i just need some reasurance that DD is ready for longer awake time as it would mean 3hrs before AM nap but would keep it still at 3hrs before PM nap and 3.5hrs before bedtime.
