Is ok that I continue to reply here? Haven't got any replies on my set naps post and that's ok, I would just like to continue to get a little outside perspective. It's only been two days of trying something different and I know that's not enough to prove anything, but I don't know that it's going to work to go 'backward' as he's so hard to get down.
Yesterday, I tried for 3h A, 45ish min nap, 2.5h A, longer nap. It didn't end up totally like that, but really not bad. It looked like this...
W 6:30am
A (3h12m)
S 9:42-10:12am (30min)
A (2h45min)
S 12:58-2:12pm (1h15m)
A 3h50min
S 5:05-5:35pm (30min), in car as was going to be a later night due to Halloween and prep for DST ending
A 2h
S 7:30/45pm (not really sure)
So, I tried for the same today and it was an epic fail. Couldn't get him down, spent 45min doing PD with a screaming baby. I was upset and the rest of the family was too. Here's what happened...
WU 7:30ish (not totally sure)
A (tried for 3h, didn't go)
E 11:30am
A (total A was 4h15min)
S 11:45-1:15pm!!
So, maybe I've underestimated his A this whole time?!? Feeling like the worst BW ever!! I know that one nap doesn't prove anything as said above. But, maybe I should go back to pushing the morning A. I know, I know I'm totally waffling. I just really want something to work as after 8.5mo, we could really use some stability around here.
What do you think?! Push to 3h45min A and then keep going until I get a decent nap? I've never had a high A time kid before (obviously!
). Thanks for your patience with me, I apologize for being so indecisive!!
