celebration time - long naps finally :)
« on: July 20, 2011, 13:19:22 pm »
Hi there

It seems I only ever post messages when I am at my witts end about something, so wanted to share some success!
For the past two days my DD has finally been able to have a long nap of 2 hours without waking up at all!!!!! She has always been a seriel 45 minute/ half hour napper that I have to extend.  I considered all the over stimulation things and it still didn't help.  I really feel that she has just suddenly matured with her sleep cycles and that is simply the answer in her case.  She is 4.5 months old now and I am so proud I never let her CIO even at testing times.  I just wanted to put this on here for those that were feeling like me and wondering if their LO's would ever take a long nap as some positivity!!!  I really hope it lasts and that it is not a fluke!  I am enjoying it whilst I can!!!!!

Woohoo!!  You must feel like a new momma with all that Y time! :D  I'm glad she's getting nice, long naps in, too.  Well done :)

Well done you!  I long for good naps.  My 7 month DD has 3 and sometimes 4 30 minute naps a day!! It's very tiring for Mummy!!

It's really encouraging to read this! Like Butterfly I'm trying to extend 2 x 45min naps which my DD has each day. We usually end the day with her OT and anxious to get in bed. Thanks for posting, it makes me feel more confident!! x
