Hi,
My last post was about early wakes and here I am again!
Our EASY looks like this:
WU 6am (well that's the goal but it's been 5:30 to 5:45 recently)
Nap 9:15-9:45
Nap 1:15-3:15 (some days he'll only sleep 1hr 40min other days I'm waking him after 2 hours)
BT 7pm
We were doing basically this same easy but with a 3 hour first wake time and 45 minute nap for about 8 weeks. But then he started to take ages to fall asleep for both naps (clapping his hands and playing in cot), so we bumped the first wake time to 3hr 15min and cut the nap from 45 minutes to 30 minutes. He was early waking for a few days before that change and it's been 5 days now and he's still early waking.
He doesn't seem to be teething too badly and he falls asleep independently (usually) for naps and BT. He wakes happy in the morning and sings to himself until we go in around 6 or 6:15.
He's almost always in a good mood and not clingy etc, but has looked really really tired before 2nd nap. We've tried putting him down for second nap a touch earlier but he'll fight it until he's been awake for 3hour 30 minutes.
Do you think he just needs a few more days to get used to the cut in the first nap or could he be OT? Again, his mood is fine but he looks tired after first nap. Should I keep trying to pull his second wake time back so that first wake time is 3hours 15min, second is 3hours 15min, and third is more like 4 hours or even a touch more? Could it be that his last wake time isn't long enough? He does sometimes fight BT and sing to himself or play around for 15-20 minutes before dropping off. He looks tired at the end of the day but doesn't look OT to me.
Thanks for your help!
