Hi ladies,
My DD is 2 weeks shy of her 1 year (ack! too fast!) and naps have never been great. Never over 1.15h (once, 1.45, once...) and usually closer to the 40-60 min.
So now we're at some nap refusals, major teething, learning to walk (crazy cruising and occasional across the room!), and if a nap, 30 mins max, sometimes on a parent. Terrible.
tons of NW, EW, but super happy any time she's not being put to bed. Generally laughing, playing and non stop movement - on 2 x 30 min naps and BT ~7p and up ~4 times at night, sometimes for an hour or two of PU/PD crying, and then up ~6:30a.
Disaster. But happy?! It's weird.
So this has been for two weeks, before she'd long nap, short nap and get to BT pretty ok with 2-3 WU and some EW (never great!). We think its time to start the 2-1 nap transition. I'm thinking closer to cold turkey.
This worked for paci wean, night wean and PU/PD EASY reset at 6 mons. It was a bad 9 days but then we had ~2 months of 11 hour sleep at night!
and then she started teething and crawling... hmm.
So if our schedule (ish) is:
7a WU (whenever she wakes before 7am I keep her in the dark bedroom and hold her until 7am to diaper change and nurse, she CNs generally)
7:15a E nurse
8a breakfast with us, solids
10a Nap (30 m or the before 1.15h)
11a E bottle BM
12p E lunch with us
2p Nap (30-40 m)
3p E Bottle BM
4p E solids/snacks
5:45p dinner with us
6:15p bath
6:30-45 bottle BM
7p BT
Bed time took ~2 hours last night to get her down, crawling around laughing, crying standing, shouting, shrieking, laughing....
Then PU/PD, finally asleep and the fire alarm started chirping!!!!
randomly all night. ridiculous.
you just have to laugh.
Suggestions on schedule?
Thank you (sorry so long!)
