I don't no what I'm doing wrong
His naps are normally super short now as well !
Help plz
I no I shouldn't offer milk so much at night I want to stop the bottles at night but when ur tired u try anything to get them back of x
He finally went back to sleep around 3.25am and woke up at 6.20ish dozed on/off till 6.40
If I make his awake time 4 hours which sometimes seems around right there isn't enough hours in the day
Like 6am wake up
10-11nap
Would me 3-4 nap and bedtime is at 6 even with a later bedtime it would have to be 8pm bed and that's not good for me x
-
Sounds like UT wakings to me, some of his A times on those days really are quite short for a 10.5 month old and may be why you are getting short naps too.
Essentially once you get to 4h A you need to choose which nap to keep long, and which to cut short/'cap'. With a long morning nap the day can look like:
WU 6
Nap 10-11.30/12 (allow to sleep)
Nap 3/3.30/4 for 30-45 mins
BT 7 (as you can see the day gets longer but a 13h day is plenty - if you want to keep an earlier BT you'd need to cut the pm nap even shorter but the aim is to hold off the 2-1 for a while so letting the day go longer is often a better short-term option)
With a short am nap you'd go for something like:
WU 6
Nap 9.30 for 30-45 mins
Nap 1/1.30 for 1.5-2h
BT 7ish
(shorter A times earlier in the day due to the shorter nap, then a longer stretch awake before bed)
What do you think?
-
That sounds great I will defo try that I think he would better with the long afternoon nap as he tends to always need to be woken from that one I will defo give it a try
What's the total amount of nap time sleep hebshojld be having at this age and I will have to try the 7pm bedtime x if I'm doing the longer second nap should I wake him from the first nap if he's stil asleep x
-
So he's actually having a longer am nap today he went at half 9 and is still asleep now at 11
Does it have to be the same long nap every day ? Or can u sometimes do a long am nap then a long pm nap ? So say if he's not awake by half 11 that would 2 hours would u then wake him up x
-
You can be flexible if it works for you both :D I liked the predictability but lots of people find they can work it both ways to fit round groups etc. I think 2h for the long nap is plenty x
-
Yeh I like naps to be predictable to so I will probably stick to the same long nap but if we are doing something will have to change it
He woke up himself at 11.30 so he had 2 hours bless him
If he woke at half 11 what time would u do next nap and it's ok to be just 30-45 mins isn't it would I wake him after that long if he was stil sleeping I have to go out so e will probably just have to cat nap in his pram this afternoon x
-
So he had the long nap this morning of 2 hours
A short 30 min cat nap in his pram as we were out it was quite late tho and e woke from that at 3.45 I think it was ..
2.30am he woke doesn't want a bottle won't even suck it
And has been lying awake moaning and babbling for the past half hour I could cry!

Hi hun, I'm sorry I know it's so hard. If you left him be would he put himself back to sleep?
-
He normally does but he's been crying past few nights I had to sit by his cot last nigh I've never had to do that
He feels really warm but not got a temp I think he's teething his gums look really sore x
-
Hmm yes teeth pain has also caused some long quite odd wakings here, one night DS was singing merrily at the top of his voice at 2am ::)
