Wake to sleep questions
« on: February 28, 2007, 08:48:21 am »
Hi

Well the good news is that wake to sleep is working!!! I've been trying it to attempt to extend my dd Millie's 30 min naps. She is 7.5 months by the way.

Still doing it for every nap and have been for 3 days. Was doing it for 5 days before that and it was working but i kept waking her up and having to get her back to sleep.

At first she was doing 1.5 hrs and i was having to wake her for feeds, but now over the past 2 days it has dropped doen to 1hr05 - 1hr10mins for every nap. So what do i do??
Do i need to extend her A time more?
Stick with this and give her a catnap too?
Or do w2s twice in one nap?? is this even possible?!

Our routine is changing all the time at the mo while i work on these naps but yesterday was:

7am - up & bf
8am - breakfast
9.30am - nap for 1h05
10.30am - A
11am - bf
12 - lunch
1.00pm - nap 1h05
2.05 - A
3.00 bf
6.00 - bath
6.30 - bottle and bed

She was clearly overtired before bed as that was a crazy long A time, but she refused to have a catnap, maybe my timing was wrong.

Our nights are still awful, but i want to get the naps sorted (as much as poss!) first and then i can try to tackle those.  ::)

Thanks
