Hi Kelly,
Sorry you are still having problems with short naps aren't they a pain
Anyway i have spend the last week or so playing around with Catherine's awake time as she has gone to having an awake time of 2.5 and 3 hrs to awake time of 3.15-3.5hrs it is crazy. She also just got her first tooth the other day
which has been effecting her naps during the day. Anyway i use to wake her after 1.5hrs in the AM but found her PM nap was still shorter so after some advice i have decided to let her AM nap go which has been 2hrs at the moment and she will sleep 1-1.15hrs in the PM. She is just one of these babies that prefers a longer AM nap. Anyway i think i have finally figured out a good routine for her that works well. As for wake to sleep i was using this with Catherine around 6months when she wouldn't sleep past 45mins for her PM nap worked a treat so i don't think it is to late at Zanders age.
Anyway he is her routine i think we have finally settled on:
6.30am - Wake play talk in crib
7am - Get up change bum cuddles with Mum and Dad
7.30am - Breakfast Muesli or Porriage with fruit with 2ozs of milk in a cup
8.30am - Bottle 6.5ozs
10am - Sleep 1.5-2hrs
12.30pm - Lunch Yoghurt and 2ozs of milk in a cup
1.30pm - Bottle 5ozs
2.45pm - Sleep 1-1.5hrs
Sometimes a snack here
5.30pm - Dinner usually whatever we are having always at least 3 vege and meat
6.15pm - Bath, Bottle 7-8ozs
7.15pm - Bed for the night
What is Zanders current awake time?
