6 months old ' bd takes forever

[Alisa masik]

sometimes it is 6:30 pm if  see she is tired.
a time: it s always diffrent' usually its 3 hours but lately she is very tird before so 2 hours

I think some consistency would be good so a consistent wake up time and consistent +/- 10mins A time. Trouble is with everything so variable its impossible to tell if she's ot or UT by the end of the day.

[Alisa masik]

again her waking time depends on the night  if shee was waking 5 times so she will sleep longer till 8:20' if she only woke twice she probably up by 7:30

[anna*]

Ok but a wake up time of 8.20 she will likely be UT by bedtime of 7pm right? Hence why I say maybe waking her in the morning to maintain some consistency.

[Alisa masik]

ut by the 7 pm? no not necessary' she sometimes very tied even before 7' those days. depend how is her naps
today for instance she woke at 7:10 . nap at 10-10:40.  by 13:20 she was super tired' went to sleep' woke at 2:30 and thats it. very tired during the day.   so i guess  today its late bt cause i will try to pu her down at 5:30 for a nap.

it seems that the solids effected her night sleep ' she got more hungrier... so its all a mess

[anna*]

I'm really confused by the routine. If you think solids is disturbing her why not cut back solids to just one meal and see if that makes a difference ?

[Alisa masik]

o i did hun, yesterday and today. meanwhile no difference.  i guess its all th factors together.
i guess i need to wait. although i really would like her to go to bed less than an hour its crazy  to come in to the room every 5 min to give her the paci that she spits all around the room 'during an hour.

[anna*]

Why not get rid of the paci if it is making things more difficult?

[Alisa masik]

 well the paci is difficult only at that case when she spit it out' i dont know why sh e does it and then cry to put it back in.
for other reasons we need the paci- during the day it can calm he' help with the teeth 'etc

[anna*]

Can she replug it for herself? She will learn to soothe herself without it if you choose to wean it.

[Alisa masik]

she is trying' sometimes yes' but when she cries she cant understand that so no,, then we come down

[anna*]

You could put it in her hand rather than her mouth? Encourage her to be independent with it?

[Alisa masik]

I'm also trying that. But when she is crying she is not very cooperative. ;( she just screams on her tummy.
