Hi Hon! How are you doing?
Posting to tell you our story from this week:). DS is at nursery 5days a week. Not sleeping well there if you ask me...
. Mostly 45min nap, sometimes 1-1:20 in the afternoon, but never in the morning. At home when put at 10am he slept ages and I was waking him at 1,5h mark. Not to mention that he was starting to wake somewhere between 5 and 7 am and usually self settled later but still, from 5am it wasn't a restorative sleep!
The nursery this week asked me for moving his nap from 10am closer to 10:30 as kiddos in the nursery was going to sleep around 11:15 so they wanted to synchronize as much as it's possible without making DS OT. They started on Wednesday and what happened:
Day 1 : pd at 10:20, slept for 15min... Lying in his crib went to sleep once again at 11:00 and slept another 45min, 2nd nap at 3:15 for 45min; happy baby till 7pm BT, slept thru, couldn't wake him at 7am:)
Day 2: put down before 11am twice but no interest in sleep, ate lunch at 11am and put down at 11:15, slept 1:20!!! Second nap in a car 4:10-4:30 when I came, settled beautifully at 7pm
Day 3: put down at 11:40!!! as was eating lunch for long time, second nap at 4:30-4:45, settles nicely at 7pm, slept thru
All these days I had to wake him at 7am!!! Which didn't happen in ages!
Today, sooooo sleepy at 10am as me is nothing on terms of entertainment for him:) but pushed him till 11:00, give lunch, settled nicely and still asleep.
I cannot imagine but he was so ready for this jump in A and he was trying to tell me that through ages when waking early from the naps in the nursery (I thought OT...).
So - just to encourage you...
try and maybe the results will come!
