5.45pm Asleep - last night took 1/2hr to settle - again not crying.
We have been having 1-2 night waking episodes over the last few weeks (initially due to teething, then ear infection & cold) however he should be fine as antibiotics finished a few days ago & cold has gone.
He has woken around the 1.5hrs after going down for the night - I have always assumed that this is overtiredness sign - wakes crying hard - so dummy & reassure - usually falls asleep again quickly.
Has then woken randomly usually only once during the night, could be 11pm or 3am - usually settles with dummy again, however last night woke at 3.30am & took over an hour to resettle - playing - which I assume is overtiredness?
Today tired putting down for first nap at 2hrs 40min in the morning & took 15-20mins to go to sleep.
This afternoon put down at 3hr mark, took over 40mins to settle (not crying) & only napped for 45mins, woke up happy.
So could it be that he needs more awake time to get in a good nap, which will take care of the overtiredness in the early evening? Bit confused - I tend to go on awake time & cues - probably more towards time over cues.
Can you please advise how your day works when adding over 3hrs of awake time to keep a 11-12hr night?
Thanks
