Dropped 4am feeding, wrecking naps?
« on: April 15, 2011, 22:53:48 pm »
My LO is almost 12 weeks and just this week dropped her 4 am feeding. She eats at bedtime, about 7pm, then again at midnight then sleeps till about 6 am.

Since starting this she has had a lot of trouble napping, I don"t know if this could be related?

Seems as though her A times JUMPED HUGELY and she spends most of her naps waking up crying at 20.30 or 1 hour mark and then crying for most of the day. I am assuming overtired, because most naps are so short. But then I can't get her to nap longer.  1h20 seems like a very long A time for her, and she gets overtired. She wont fall asleep before that though. Then wont stay asleep. I start wind down at cues and that is usually 1 h A time, and she used to fall asleep within minutes, now it takes 20 min then she only stays asleep for a short period of time.

Is this coincidental that it is happening in conjunction with the dropping of the night feed?

I think its probably coincidental and the short napping is more related to her getting OT.

Can you post your EASY from today and we can take a look?
