Hi,
I hope you don't mind me asking for your help
You wrote that your child was a short napper but now he takes longer naps - How did you get there?!? My son (11 weeks old) and I have been on the EASY routine for about 2 weeks now. He is really good at putting himself to sleep at night but during the day - forget it. He is a Spirited Child and sleeps no longer than 30 minutes during the day. He wakes up so tired and I try to help him with going back to sleep but with no success. I'm hoping you can give me some advice. Here is our routine:
5:30 wake and feed (goes back to sleep until 8:00)
8:30 feed
9:00-9:30 Play
9:30 - 10:15 Sleep (wakes up fussy and tired - trying to help him get back to sleep)
11:30 feed
12:00 - 12:30 play
12:30 - 1:10 Nap (naps in crib then starts crying - I try the pat and shush - doesn't work then I sit with him and he ends up falling asleep on me within 2 minutes)
1:30 - 1:45 Nap (back in his crib)
2:15 Feed
2:45 - 3:00 Play
3:00 - 3:30 Nap
3:30 - 5:30 Very grumpy
5:30 - feed
6:00 - 6:45 Play
7:00 - 7:30 Nap
7:30 - 8:00 very grumpy
8:30 feed
9:00 bath and bedtime routine
