Title: Easy schedule for 8 month old..on right track?
Post by: jasmynesmum on September 11, 2006, 12:20:14 pm

Hi,

I just wanted to post this schedle and get some feedback as these last few nights DD has had a hard time getting to sleep at night.  Typically when I used to put her to bed she would just roll over and I would leave the room..she would then go to sleep!  Now, she is not allowing me to leave her room!!  Last night I sat in a chair in her room for about 30 minutes while she tried to talk to me and finally after about 30 minutes she laid down and went to sleep...  I am wondering if I should increase her A time which means she will be put in bed until 7.30 whereas, she has always been in bed and asleep at 6.30.  I am concerned that 7.30 is too late to go to bed???? 

Here would be our routine..  please comment...

6.30 - awake/bottle
8.45 - breakfast
9.30-11.00 nap
11.30 - lunch
1.00 - bottle
2.30-4pm - nap
4.30 - tea
6.30pm - bottle/bath/massage/cuddle getting in to bed at around 7.30pm

She does have a lovey and she sleeps with a paci, although I do not believe the paci is a prop as she does ot have nightwakings looking for it.

Any suggestions/comments on length of A time would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Natasha

yes she does cry at nap time too...  naps/bedtime seem to follow the same pattern!  I thought she was too early to be getting Sep. anxiety??

DS started with his seperation anxiety around 8 months.  It did make nap times and bed time very difficult.

If I can remember correctly, it lasted about 2.5 weeks.  They do go through their phases.
