Hi,
I have a question regarding my 7 mo DD. We usually wake up at 6.30-7. At 11 my daughter starts to feel sleepy (yes, she's able to manage without sleep for 4 to 4.5h!!! at the age of 7 months), so we go for a nap. Very often she wakes up after 30-40 min ready for activity. She's able to be active for yet another 4h and at about 15 pm we go for a 2nd nap. She wakes from that nap after 30 smiling to me. Ofcourse we have days when she's able to sleep for 1h or 1.5h. But these days are starting to be rare. She's always been a better night sleeper comparing to the day. She sleeps through the night from 7 to 7 having 11-12h sleep almost every day. She falls asleep in 2 or 3 min in her crib without any props, I just hug her untill she's asleep. I've also tried many times the tips from the book to extend her naps like pat & shh or wake to sleep, but without any significant progress. I'm just worried if she gets egnough sleep during the day. When she has two 30 min naps she gets a little cranky at bedtime. Can I do anythning more to fix these short naps? Or should I accept it the way it is? I remember my older son at this age, he was having two 2h naps during the day. I just add that she an angle type baby - very calm, smiling all the time.
Many thanks for your help in advance
