Hi!
My LO is 13 mo and doing great. She is still on 7,11,3,7 (plus a 5am one I’m trying to drop.) maybe this is an EASY schedule question but I’ve forgot when they start dropping day feeds?

Hi
My 12 month old has always been an early riser. His nurse for some reason was never able to train him out of the 5 am wake up but once she left, I was able to get him to wake up later.
Recently, be it the 12 month sleep regression, teething, etc. He's waking up early in the 5s again and I'm falling apart. Throw in frequent NW as well.

I'm at a loss. I'm trying to push his morning nap to after 11 but he's usually so exhausted by then and he rarely sleeps for more than 1.5 hrs.
Sometimes he'll go down for a catnap in the afternoon and bedtime is at about 7ish (earlier if no afternoon nap) or 7.30ish if he did.
I need some guidance here, where am I going wrong?

Hello I am back again with my second baby!

Yet again I have a serial cat napper but a really good night sleeper 😅

She will be 5 months on Sunday and our EASY looks like this -

WU 7.30
E 7.45
A 7.55 - 9.20
S 9.20 - 9.50
A 9.50 - 10.45
E 10.45
A 10.55 - 11.40
S 11.40 - 12.10
A 12.10 - 1.30
E 1.30
S 1.55 - 2.20 resettled herself for another 15 minutes
S 2.30 - 2.45
A 2.45 - 4.00
E 4.00
A 4.15 - 5.00
S 5.00 - 5.30 (carrier)
A 5.30 - 6.00
E 6.00
A 6.15 - 7.15
E 7.15
S 7.00

The naps are UT I'm thinking as she wakes happy apart from the afternoon one. She isn't happy when she wakes and tries to get herself back to sleep but can't. She puts herself to sleep for naps sucking her thumb. The last nap is always in the carrier on daddy so that I can go and pick our eldest up from pre school shower her etc.

I'm wondering whether to try and push her WT out more? I'm obviously grateful she sleeps so well at night but as the night goes on she just gets so grumpy and is not a happy baby at all.

Thank you if you got this far 😅

Hello all! It's my first time here. I read BW during my pregnancy and have referred back to it many times for help.
We have always tried to stick to the EASY routine and had hiccups when we strayed. We overused a paci and it became a strong prop for my little girl.
At 6 month we moved her into her own room and we realized how bad it had gotten because we actually had to get out of bed to put it back in.
At 7 and a half months I took away the paci cold turkey. She is now 8 and a half month and still exhibits signs of wanting to suck or not being satisfied with sucking on her fingers or tongue when going down for naps and resettling after waking.

When we first cut the paci I turned into a human paci and she started waking more frequently and only wanting to nurse to go back down.
I cut night feedings two weeks ago after reading another post on this site. I tried PUPD but she just screams more and I have to rock her hip in her crib. She settles down a bit and then cries and sits up within 10 minutes. This would go on for an hour or more some nights.

 The last couple of nights I have caved and fed her because I thought she might really need to eat. But she still has a very hard time staying down. She settles in her crib and then within ten minutes starts crying. This will be anywhere between 4 and 5 am. Past that I just know she won't go back down and don't bother.

Since cutting the paci and trying PUPD she has shortened her 45 minute naps to around 30 minutes and it's cause a wreck of a time during the day. I try to resettle for naps but the same thing happens. She calms down for a minute or two and then stirs and cries.

She started solids at 6 months. She still just snacks, tastes, and plays. She started crawling over a week ago. She can pull herself up on her crib. She is very attached to me throughout the day. My husband works from home and I take care of her full time so she is always around her parents.

She is normally able to stay awake for 3 hours but has gone up to 5 when we are around other kids her age and in a new place.

Our EASY routine looks like this give or take a half hour.

5:30 wake up and nurse
8:30- nap (sometimes I will try to resettle and put her back down but this hasn't ever worked)
9ish wake up and nurse
12 nap
12:45  nurse
3 nap
3:30 wake up and nurse
6:30 nurse
6:45 bedtime routine and down for the night


Or if  she naps longer its been like this in the past:

6am wake up and nurse
9am nap
9:45 wake up and nurse
1:30 nap
2:30 wake up and nurse
6:30 nurse
 6:45 bed time routine and down for the night.

Thank you for the help!

I'm really hoping one of you fabulous experts on here can help. I've reached out in facebook groups and it seems that you only get responses on those if you are bashing your husband or MIL. anyways....Our son turned 12m on 7/7 (11m adjusted). We dealt with several illnesses prior to this issue (ear infection that led to a febrile seizure, then while in the ER he was diagnosed with the adnovirus that lasted 3 weeks. We had 2 blissful nights of sleep after that then he caught a horrible case of hand foot and mouth that lasted another almost 3 weeks. So aside from those two nights we've been up at all hours. More recently, since he's gotten better , he wakes every night 1130/12ish-2/230 ish. Last night it was 12:15 until 330. I'm exhausted. My husband is exhausted. We do pu/pd, we are trying hard to not reinforce any bad habits. It's almost immediately after putting him back in his crib in he screams. Sometimes we get 10/15 minutes of quiet. We see him laying down and think he's gone to sleep only for him to sit up and start screaming. What's the deal? Is this just the 12m sleep regression? I've lost track of how long it's been going on. Several weeks already I know.
