I'm in a dilemma. My nine month old daughter has decided that she wants activity time to be 4 hours. Even if I try to put her to sleep earlier she will cry(not by herself) or play in her crib until she's been awake for 4 hours. Some days she goes back to the 3 hour schedule, but it's becoming less. I feel
Like its way too soon for her to drop a nap and it's really exhausting having her up to 9/10 at night. Before she was asleep between 7:00-8:00.
So, do I just shorten her morning nap? She gets up at 6am and goes for nap 1 around 10:00 and if left alone sleep for 2+ hours. So we have been waking her up at 11:30 and nap 2 occurs around 3:30. Which she can sleep for another hour plus. So can I shorten her first nap to 30 minutes or 45 minutes? I'm hopes that she will have a longer afternoon nap at an earlier time? I really don't want her sleeping past 4 because I don't want her up all night.
