My DD was bad napper since birth, there were periods when she was having good naps, but for months she is waking up at 30 min mark and cries... I've tried to tweak her routine, tried to extend her naps, her room is very dark, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
She is 18 mo now and has just 1 nap. I have to rock her to sleep for her nap. Her BT is at 8pm, and she put herself to sleep in seconds. She sleeps through the night, wakes au usually somewhere between 7.30-8.30. Her nap time is at 2pm. In case I'll try to put her earlier, she just won't asleep. The only way to extend her nap time is to take her from the crib when she wakes at 30min mark and lay down with her (actually she has to be on top of me), this way sometimes she will fall asleep again and can nap for 1,5-2 hours in total. Nap time does't affect her night sleep, she always goes to sleep at the same time easily and sleeps more or less the same amount of time.
Maybe someone has any ideas?
I kinda got used to her short naps, but sometimes I dream how great it would be to have at least one hour for myself during the day...
