my 11.5 month old was gloriously doing this routine:
7am, bf
8.30 breakfast
between 10.30-11, falling asleep in the stroller for 20 minutes
12, lunch
(2 hours and 35 minutes after wakeup)
c. 1.35-2, nap 1.5 hours (2 hours if super tired)
3.30 wake
4.30, bf
6, dinner
7.30 bath
7.45, bf
8 Bt
until EVERYTHING broke down. teething and separation anxiety have not helped matters AT ALL. but, is this what happens when they are really ready for one nap? does anyone have experience with a schedule similar to ours? how did you begin to extend that morning time when your LO is used to taking that catnap on the go? we are dealing with a LO who for the last couple of weeks is suddenly refusing the crib altogether and we have had to resort to cosleeping, against our better judgement. also, he used to be a long morning napper and then afternoon catnap, until that too started causing major night wakings and problems. i would greatly appreciate any insight and advice. we are going on 3 weeks of NO sleep and it is difficult to maintain sanity. he is doing so incredibly well otherwise, but man, this is tough! also, i have to start gradually making a bunch a transitions in terms of feeding (weaning a bit and merging meals and milk consumption), but i feel i cannot even tackle this until we have a LO who will sleep normally again.
thank you in advance!
