DS had been doing much better after we moved into our new house -- sleeping until around 6, which was fine. Over the last week or two, we're back to having him up from between 4:30 to 5:30 and refusing to go back to sleep. We had let him take a longer nap (almost 2 hrs) and then we got another 5:15 waking. Last night he was up at 2:20 a.m. and then it took me giving him drinks, holding him in chair (he started sleeping on me) then finally sleeping on the floor w/him (NEVER need to do that) to get him back to sleep (all of this took about an hr). I woke after about an hr and got him into his crib, he hugged me and went to sleep since I was still there. Ugh. Then he slept til 6:25.
Now what? Do we let him nap longer? Shorten it? Argh! DH capped his nap at 1 hr 30 min yesterday and said DS was not happy to be awakened... so maybe OT?
Day typically looks like this
4:30-5:30 (typically 5-5:30) - Awake. Doesn't really want anything except to go play.
Eat - 6:45 am
Montessori from 8:30-11:45
Lunch at 12
Nap around 1 (sometimes falls asleep immediately, other times will chat 30 minutes)
Have been waking at 1 hr 45 min most days with the occasional long nap if he was up very early
Bedtime at 7 - has been asleep within 10 minutes. Used to chat 20-30 minutes
What should we try? Thank you!
