I'm having trouble with naps again and maybe it's A time related??? My DD is 14 weeks but was 4 weeks early. I had 3-4 good days last week of naps after dealing with 30-45min naps for a month! Her A time was about 1 hr when I had those days. OVer the past few days we've gone back to short naps and I'm not sure if it's accumulated OTness or what. She is about 9 pounds, she takes Zantac (which we started 5 days ago) for silent reflux, and is bottle fed EBM usually 2-3 oz q 3 hrs. Here is our EASY over the past few days. I have tried to write everything down to see if I can pinpoint anything.

This is our day so far. Anyone have any ideas??? The only thing I can think is yesterday we did 1hr 10 min A time and she did great but maybe since she had bad naps after that she should be doing that much? Or maybe it needs to be longer? I have the next 3 days to keep doing shh/pat during naps but I'd really like to figure this out. Any help is really appreciated
