13 mo old - 2:1 Need ADVICE PLS
« on: August 27, 2012, 13:04:38 pm »
Hi,
I've been watching the other thread on this topic and now I'm just more confused. Figured I would post my own situation and ask for help...
My LO is 13 mo old. He has never been a very good sleeper but thanks to BW I have him on a semi regular routine. That was until he decided he wants to drop the monring nap and stay up for 4.5-5 hours...Ugh...

His routine is as such (on a good day in a perfect world)
W:6:20
A:
S:11:30 (sometimes he won't go down until after 12)
W1:30
A
BT routine and in bed by 7:15

He won't go down any earlier than 7ish. He will fight me terribly.
we have been in the UT/OT loop so yesterday I gave him a 25 minute CN from 10 - 10:25 then he wouldn't go down for his afternoon nap until 2 and slept until 3:30. BT was 7:30.

NW all night long. Took me anywhere from 40-1 hour to resettle and eventually had to sit with him in rocking chair to get him to settle.

I imagine he is OT but with the extra nap yesterday I would have thought he would have slept better.

I really REALLY need some advice on how to tweak this.  When I put him down for bed, I can put him into his crib awake and he will settle himself and put himself to bed. But never when he wakes in the middle of the night...

Other info - he is at daycare 3 days a week and usually sleep 2 hours there and most times on those days he STTN or only has one brief NW.

have you tried a 15/20 min MAX am nap?
Is he having NWings when he only has 1 nap?

Are there teeth issues atm?

no, I haven't tried capping the AM nap yet.  He does occasionally but usually only 1 and it's brief, I'm in/out in under 1 minute.
Yes, I think the first molars are starting to move down...

it is hard to say whether this is just teeth tbh. The first molar for DD was quite hard for her. Have you tried meds at all?
I think if meds do not help then it may be better to stick with 1 nap seeing as you get less NWings but you may need to throw in a 2 nap day occasionally.
