Alyssa is almost 5 months now
and I said I won't try to fix her 45 min nap problem until it started affecting her additude and night sleeping. Well it has the last 3 nights she has gotten up 4-5 times between 7:30-9:30pm unable to put herself back to sleep as she is so OT and is waking up at 6:30am instead of 7am. Last night I turned the baby moniter up full balst and found out she gets up play for half an hour THEN calls out for me I think that explains part of the problem AKA way too long 1st A time. I have been extending bottles from 3hrs to 4 hours will mild success too as she wakes cause it's the 3 hr mark and wants to eat (but won't finish the bottle since she is not really hungry).
Here is her day as it has been for the last 3 days :
7am- calls me (found out she actually gets up at 6:30am)
7:30-7oz bottle
9am- down for nap (takes less then 3 minutes and she is out)
9:45-up and cranky
10:30-6 baby spoons of pear and 1oz of water
11:15-11:30-7oz bottle
11:45-nap
12:30-up and cranky
2:30-nap
3:15-up and cranky
3:30-7oz bottle
5:15- force nap maybe get 20 mintes
6:30- bath/bottle
7-7:15 bed
She sometimes does a 3hr a time for the last one and passes right out but I know she is so OT by the end of the day from lack of sleep. I am really trying to get her on a routine more for her age not a 2.5-3 month old!!
Any help would be great
