After 30 minutes he looks around then starts fussing but not actually crying.
Perhaps 3.5 A to bed is too long? Should I shorten it to 3hrs? Does that mean lengthening the first A beyond 3.5 or you mean making sure he goes down closer to 3.5 rather than 3:20A for example?
Also I think the second A could be lengthened to 3 hrs after a 45 minute nap.
Today, he only slept for 35 minutes on the first nap and then I did a 3 hr A and he needed resettling around the 35 mark.
I agree with you that it's a OT UT situation. Last night was better; no long NW!! However, he woke up twice within 4 hours after BT, slept until 5:30 and ate. Although he put himself back to sleep, he was tossing and turning a lot! I think we are on the right track but definitely need more tweaking.
I did the same routine today:
NW : 10:50, 1:03 am (fed), 5:16 am (fed)
Total 11 hrs
WU 8:01 am
S 11:28- 12:03 (A 3:27; put him down at 3:13A and was not tired. Then cried. Picked up the put down and shushed fell asleep in two minutes)
S 3:03- 4:52 pm (A 3 hrs; came home from play date late; nursed bc he was hungry and no time for solids.)
S 8:23 pm (A 3.5)
He's woken up twice in the last two hours after BT. First NW was 35-40 minutes after BT then an 1hr and 20 minutes afterwards. Ahh just when I thought the A to BT was resolved. Well looks like it's OT right?
We will see how tonight goes!
