Too much sleep?

[Henty]

Just wondering if anyone could give me advice.

However A time is short so i cant work out naps and think she may be sleeping too much!

S 3.20-5.15

S 7.15/7.30

Df at 10

No feeds in night but wakes for dummy a few times!

Is it too much daytime sleep?

Help!

Hi,

That's an amazing routine, I so wish my DD had slept like that! So jealous 

You say she wakes in the night, are they quick and easy to get her back off? What I mean is, is there any prolonged NW's? If not, It sounds like she's HSN hun, good thing to know now really so you can take that into account during any future transitions etc. Hth x

Thank you!!

Its not perfect i usually have to resettle her during naps but generally get long ones!!

NW are just stick the dummy in and she goes off to sleep!! Some nights we do it once then there are nights like last night when she does it every hour!! Just hoping she will be able to grab her dummy herself soon!!

No idea how to work my day still tho- today she has woken at 9.55am instead of 10.30am ahhh!!

That's not bad at all hun, you may find you need to add another 5-10mins on to the A time soon but I'd just keep an eye on the nap length and if it starts to shorten. You'd need it to be consistently though, not just once so see if she's ready for an increase. Same pattern over 3 days will signal she's ready.

It sucks when they throw things off don't they? Don't worry, these things happen. You'll never manage to get exactly the same routine every single day, I'd just go with the flow and try to keep as close to it as possible.

Thank u!

Ive already added 20mins to morning A time and hoping to add another 10mins soon.

she has just slept from 11.40am and its now 14.05 so going to wake her, im just still worrying its too much sleep as i no shes going to want another 2 hours at about 3.30!

Hopefully will smooth out soonx

I'd try and wake at the 2hrs mark, in any case she'll probably be hungry and you want her to get all her calories in during the day. Growth spurts tend to result on more sleeping too, so it might be that as well. It's hard to know what to do though isn't it? Remember this post if she ever starts refusing her naps  x

Its so hard to know whats right!

Im just going to concentrate on getting her A times longer so its a bit smoother but she gets soo fussy at 1hr 30mins ahhh!

[Kellyjs]

I wouldn't worry too much if she's pulling those great naps hun, stretching them too much can only cause trouble if they're not ready for it. If she starts short napping, then it might be time for an increase x
