naps in day has got worse
« on: January 17, 2008, 09:32:08 am »
hi, we have always has a problem with bed time for the 1st hour or 2. but my lo used to nap in the day like clock work.
Naps 08.45-10.30
2nd nap 12.50 - 14.30
cat nap between 4 and 5 for 30 mins.
now they have all gone haywire.
for the last week or 2 sha has been going done just for 30-40 mins morning nap. when ive put her down for afternoon nap she cries and then might have 30-40 nap.sometimes then she would fall asleep at 4 and want to sleep for 1hr 30 or more. then thats getting near to her bedtime routine. Is that ok.

last night she was awke a few time in night but didnt cry we can hear her moving. was awke at6.30 fed at 7am breakfast at 8  then she was moaning as she was tired.put her to bed at 8.30 and she fell aslep and still asleep now 9.50. DID I DO RIGHT TO LET HER SLEEP EARLIER THAN NORMAL .now her other naps are going to be early so do i get her to bed early.

Hi,

Moving this to naps as I think it is mainly a problem with naps and I think you will get the help there that you need

I would suggest that you add some more A time before the second nap - 10mins at a time, with some quiet time.  you could go to 3hr A time at her age, but do it slowly.  once she starts taking a longer pm nap, you might like to cut out the catnap, but intro an earlier bedtime til she gets used to it.

hth!
