Hi everyone! First few posts here... also posted in naps but I can remove from one place if it doesn't belong.
I have an 8 month old and I've been having sleep troubles ever since he was born... haha. I even hired a sleep trainer but am still having nap problems. Through the night is fine and I am fine with our super early bed time, but would go later if it solved morning.
We have a solid consistent routine, dark room, white noise, crib sleep only. His sleep times are something like this
Wake: 4:30-5:30am... I leave him until 6:30am
E: BF @ 6:30am
E: Solids @ 7:45-8am
S: 9:00am
A: 10:30am (I cap this morning nap as instructed by trainer to preserve second nap... it's been suggested I should cap even earlier @ 10... should I?).
E: BF @ 10:30
E: solids @ 12:00
S: 1:00pm This nap is a mess... he usually refuses for anywhere from 30-60 mins.
A: 1:30-2:30pm He usually only gets a 30 min nap for this nap and it's been like this for a few weeks now.
E: BF after nap 2
E: Solids @ 4-5pm depending on WU from nap 2
E: BF before bed
S: 5:45-6pm depending on WU from nap 2.
So my problems are early morning wake ups and nap #2. He goes down to sleep for nap 1 and bed time no problem at all... it's so hard to tell if he's undertired or overtired for nap 2... it's driving me crazy! Any suggestions?
