My 8 month old girl has started taking such short naps and just seems tired all the time.
We had a really good routine going and I was doing so well reading her tired signs but ever since she started crawling it's all just fallen apart.
We were basing our schedule on an awake time of around 2.5 hours but recently it seems she's struggling to last 1hr!
This morning for example, she woke around 6am we got up had a bottle, pretty much from the moment I got her up she was yawning! And I've ended up putting her back down at 7.30 and she's gone straight to sleep.
She was having naps of anywhere up to 2 hours now it seems I'm lucky to get 30mins. So we're back to having sometimes 4 naps!
I've tried leaving her but she won't go back to sleep, she's constantly rolling over and getting up on her knees, sometimes I think even when she doesn't want to.
I know I probably need to extend her awake time but I just hate keeping her up when I can see she's so tired constantly yawning and rubbing her eyes.
I'm going back to work in a few weeks and desperate to get into a routine.
Her bedtime is 6.30-7.30, depending on when she woke from last nap. She almost always sleeps through until at least 6. Has been waking a few times in recent weeks but settles pretty easy. Might just be a coincidence but she started her night wakings around the same time her naps fell apart. Please help!
