Hello all...
I posted a few weeks back, and a few months back. We are still dealing with 1-45 minute nap. I have tried all sorts of "A" times and nap times (10:30 - 1:00). All of the different times result in 45 minute naps. My daughter does sleep through the night, no NW, and usually sleeps 11-12 hours. Some nights more, some nights, less (like 10 hours, depending on our schedule that day/night). Regardless of the change, she still only takes 45 minute naps. This leads me to think that we are either 1, stuck in this rut, or 2, this is all she is capable of doing. When we took 2 naps, she took 2 45-60 minute naps, so I know she needs that amount still (90 minutes at least). She is happy when she wakes up from her nap, but it creates a very long afternoon, and she gets cranky by 5ish-6. She is 20 months old now (in 2 days) and I feel as though she is the oldest LO on this site going through this. I don't know what to do anymore. If I go in and try to pat her, she is UP UP UP. I just reinforce the "nap's over" thought once I appear in her room. If I leave her alone, she at least has rest time in her room for awhile (she can sit in there for a long time by herself...).
Any thoughts? ideas? help? I am desperate....
