She is not taking a catnap. I have found that if she naps after 4:30 for 30 minutes or more, she will not go to sleep until much later in the evening. So I try to get her afternoon nap to extend to that time.
her daytime routine is working itself out. For two or 3 days it looks like this
7 wake - bf
8 solids
9 nap
11 bf
1.30 nap
3.00 bf
(on these days I try to get in a car nap)
6:30 bf
7 bed
today it looks like this
6:45 wake
8:45 nap
9:30 wake
10:00 bf
11:30 nap (still sleeping, it's almost 1)
1:30 bf
3:30,4 nap for 30 minutes or so
4:30 bf
7 bf & bed.
So the time between bedtime looks a little long in both.
Last night was a bit better, 10:00 wake and screamed for an hour. Nothing consoled her except sucking on her sleeve. (maybe I need to cut a small piece of fabric for her to suck on?) Then stir at 12, then up at 2, bf, slept until 6:45. (this was amazing - longest stretch in weeks)
She has had a alternating daytime schedule for a while. I think she is in transition to 2 naps and 4 hr schedule. But even before when it was crazy during the day she was sleeping.
Do you think I need to extend morning A time to 2.5 hrs? Or is this a transition we just need to work through until 2 naps?
Thanks for the help
