sigh.
ds is now 8 months old and has been having 45 min naps on and off for a loooong time.
his morning nap has gone back to 45 mins, his second nap is 1.5 hrs....but that necessitates the catnap again :evil:
can anyone suggest how to lengthen his morning nap? when i put him down after 2 hrs, he sleeps 45. when i put him down for 2.5, he's EXHAUSTED and sleeps 45. so i'm afraid of extending A time more than 2.5hrs in the morning. he's also a spirited one.
here's our schedule
6:30-wake and 7 oz bottle
7:30 - 2-3 oz solids
8:30 or 9:00 - 45 min nap
9:15 or 9:45 wake
10:45 - 3 oz. solids
11:30 - 6 oz bottle
12:15 or 12:45 - 1.5hrs
if waking around 1:45, i give a short catnap at 4:45 and bed at 6:30
2:00 - snack of cheerios and water
4:00 - 3 oz solids
6:00 - 8 oz bottle
if waking after 2:00, i give him an early bedtime around 5:30 (read this in HSHHC)
3:30 - 3 oz solids
5:00 - 8 oz bottle
he usually sleeps 12 hrs straight, but lately waking up 2-3 times.
