Hi
My DS is 6months old has always been a chronic catnapper for the last 3 months at least.. I have been working with the ladies on the nap board to try to find a solution for this,he was in a severe UT/OT cycle which was fixed,but he is slipping back into it now but thats another story.
So the thing is yesterday his EASY was a little shaky,but over the day he managed to get 3hrs day sleep all up (1x50min nap first up, 1x 1hr45nap 2time and CN of 40mins or so,longer than normal but was trying too stop OT at BT). So he goes to bed just fine. Then at 2am wakesup happy as anything trying to sit up and talking etc...UNTIL he realised that we werent going to get him up to play. Then he went on and on until 4am! Then woke up at 5.45.(which is pretty normal with out EASY as it is at the moment..)
So I know usually they say if its a happy NW then A time must be too short. So I increased it by 10mins this morning and got a 35ish min nap,which I could not resettle.
So the thing is why are these NW occurring now?After months of STTN,I sometimes wish I hadnt mucked with his naps through the day as at least when he went to bed of an evening he was STTN no problem,and ever since we have been wokring on his DT sleep,nights have gotten prgressively worse,in fact, in about 3weeks I think there may have been 4nights where he has just STTN with no NW... So what is the thing I should try?
A "typical"EASY,if you can call it that as things have been everywhere looks something like this, (this was yesterday)
up for the day 6.20
E 6.20 solids @ 7am
A 2hrs40mins
S 9.00(put to bed 8.50,may have settled bit too quickly) slept for 50mins
up @ 10am
E 10.20 solids @ 11.30
A 2hrs20mins(had to go out so bit long??)
S 12.15pm slept for 1hr45min
E 2pm
A 1hr40mins
S 3.40pm CN 40mins
E solids @ 4.20
A 1hr 40mins
E bottle @ 5.30
S 5.45pm
Any help on these NW greatly appreciated, TIA.
