13 hour day not sure what to do.....help

[Jann]

ok so we got our naps sorted out which means we also sorted out the A times.  my 81/2mo can do long A times and long naps as well,  this is what our day looked like yesterday



5.35 awake
6.30 bottle 9 oz
8.00 solids
9.05 nap 1.15
10.25 awake
11.00 bottle
12.30 solids
2.00 ish nap
3.30 i woke him from nap
4.00 bottle
5.00 tea
6.00 bf bath and bed by 6.30

this worked out because he woke at 5.35 because he had a bowel movement early and it woke him.  but today he is up at 6.05 and if we follow the same routine, we will end up with a 7.30 is bedtime 13.5 hour day, do i go with it and see what time he will wake at tomorrow?  or do i need to cut anything,  if so i don't know what.

I went through this - I limited the morning nap to an hour - and gradually reduced it to 45 mins etc.  A 13 hour day is fine though - most LO will only sleep for 11 hours at night.

thanks,

your little guy is sooooo cute.

so i should have woke him up early, should i wake him early this pm or start fresh tomorrow with a 1 hour am nap?

How much does he usually sleep at night? If he only sleeps 11 hours then a 13 hour day is okay? Now that my LO A times have increased we are doing at least a 13 hour day most days, but it works out better for us because he only usually sleeps 11 hours max at night.

However, I know at your LO age lots of people start cutting that first nap short. So that might also be something to do

[Jann]

he sleeps 11.5 usually.  so i have been doing 12.5 days.  he hasn't been consistant with a times.  he varies from 3.20 to 3.40 so depending on that his days may be longer.  anyway keeping everything in stride.  i haven't cut any naps short, if i do it will be the pm one depending on how the am nap goes, that way i am sure he gets at least one good nap.

thanks for your advice
