My DD has been on EASY for most of her life. Around 4 months ago I relaxed the routine a bit, stopped clock watching and followed her lead as she was like clockwork herself
And now we seem to have a problem. If I'm honest ive noticed it for a while, but, well, what with christmas and visitors and working...I just thought it would "work itself out" Also she has been teething since 5 months old (has 10 teeth including 2 molars!)
She will be 11 months old in 2 weeks and still has a 2 hour morning nap and a 1.5 pm nap!
Her am activity time is still only just over 2 hours
Her pm activity time is 3 hours. (this includes feeding etc)
And her day doesn't start until 9.30-10 am
Her bedtime has become 9.30 pm, she talks and plays for a while before falling asleep. BUT tonight she was still awake in her cot rolling, babbling, playing until after 10.30pm!
I do believe I need some help. I've looked through the boards here and I think it looks like I need to tweek naps, lengthen activity time, possibly wake her earlier in the morning...but unless I have it written down in a list "You need to to this, this and this at these times" then I'm useless.
Her EASY as of last 3 days.
WU - 10am
E- 10.15am - 240 bottle
E- 11.15am - Breakfast
A- until 12.15 pm - Cranky! (only just over 2 hrs)
S- 12.15pm - 2.30pm (!) (2.25 hrs)
E - 3pm dinner
A - until 5pm - Cranky! (2.5 hrs)
S- 5.pm - 6.30pm (1.5 hrs)
E - 7pm - tea
E - 9pm - 200 bottle
A- until 9.30 pm - bed (3 hrs)
But, She is awake up in her cot for sometimes over an hour at bedtime! (she is quite happy and isn't crying at all) I know this is short A times and too long naps...but she is a sleepy baby, signals tiredness (rub eyes, tug ears, moaning, cranky then real tears)...help!
Any help would be wonderful.
