All of a sudden 45 min nap in the afternoon
« on: May 05, 2007, 18:58:51 pm »
Joey is 11.5 months old.  His schedule has been the same for some time.  But for whatevver reason he's only sleeping 45 mins in the afternoon, and waking a bit earlier in the morning.  This is our schedule. 

6:30 wake (used to be 7:30)
10-11 (I wake him so he falls asleep early enough for second nap)
2:00-2:45 (used to be 4:00) second nap
7:30 bedtime

I really don't know what's going on.  He goes down pretty quickly for the nap, so I don't think he's overtired, but wakes up SCREAMING at 2:45!  I am pretty sure this nap is causing the earlier wake.  Is it possible that he needs more A time so waking up earlier (but not giving me a problem falling asleep?)  But then why is he waking screaming and not playing?  I'm confused!

I would sort of think that he may need a little more activity time before the 2nd nap. when we had 1hr am naps, my son was actually doing more like 4hrs of awake time. try adding 15min at a time and see if that makes any difference.

I guess your right.  I REALLY didn't want to do that because right now Joey naps 30 mins during Carmela's nap so I get 30 mins of peace and quiet.  Oh well.  NO more break for me!
