Wow. I'm here. The day I have been dreading...sigh.. My ds turned 18 mos. on the 5th. A couple of days after Christmas, he started doing the 45 min. naps and starting crying..very unusual for him. His routine was WU 7am
nap 12:30-2:30
BT 8pm.
So, after reading some advice on here, I increased his awake time to 6hrs. and he started doing his 2 hr. naps again. yey
Well, last night he woke around 5:30 or 6..not sure I turned over and tried to go back to sleep..but he just talked and talked and sang all of his new words he has been learning. So due to his crib party, we both are extremely tired over here. And he has been sooo fussy, really horrible. And I am 2.5 months pregnant so I am really really tired. I really hope this doesn't last 2 months. So, I could use some advice from some of you lovely ladies who have been going through this. He barely made it to 11:45, and was falling asleep through his book. Do I cap his nap to 1.5 hrs. to promote his night sleep? Or will that make him OT due to not being able to catch up on his missing night sleep. I have to mention that with his other sleep regressions he got VERY OT. And it took ages to to get through it. Nights of just holding him while he slept because he was SOO OT that he would jolt all night long. Other than his sleep regressions he has always been a independent sleeper, with no props. Advice anyone?
oh, and btw, he has all of his teeth now except his last molar which has a flap of gums that is loose and still needs the rest of the tooth to come through. He already has his canines, they came before his molars.
