Well I'm just pulling my hair out....
It's been a several days of observation and I get such mixed results.
I think the A time is right since I've sometimes had good naps. I've been doing 3 hours...sometimes 2 hour 50 min if she's really cranky and crying for milk. She goes down so easily that I think for sure it will be a good nap. Then wakes 10 min later. AHHGG!!! It's torture!!!
But here's our variation, usually this is how our naps go:
20 min
20 min
45 min
30 min
1 hour 15 min
20 min
40 min
60 min
20 min
10 min
I get a full sleep cycle here and there...but mostly not. And rarely I'll get more then one full sleep cycle so i'll have hope that if I just stick with that time frame, it will eventually get better and better...but it seems to be getting worse. Just like before, I thought I had it worked out and then it just got worse and worse.
I had 3 15-20 min naps yesterday
I had 3 15-30 min naps the day before
I just had a 10 min nap this morning after a 3 hour A time. She was alert and playing and only right before the 3 hour mark did she start getting cranky, like she was ready for her nap. So her cues are matching what the A time I hope to do is.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to scream! It's not working and I don't know why.
