10 months and still frequent wakings, where am i going wrong?!!

[kimx3]

Wake upabout 6.30-7am

E-7.30 -8am breakfast
A- play then school run 8.30-9am
S- am nap 9.30-10am till 11-11.30

E-12pm lunch time
A-play time etc
S- pm nap 2pm

E-3.30pm about 3oz milk
A- play, activities...

E- 5pm dinner
A- play then wind down with bath at 6.30pm and 8 oz bottle (he tends to split this bottle so 4oz then the other 4 oz hr later)
S- 7pm

E- dream feed 10-11 7oz (halved again)

I do try get himto take milk after each nap but he wont, he also doesnt eat large amounts either. he sometimes has another feed 3-4ish am. He is quite a snacky baby, but very happy and content so dont think i'm under feeding him, i just follow his lead. x

It does sound like things are on the improve for you! I agree with what a previous poster said- its possibly the 2-1 transition rearing it's ugly head We are going through that at the moment!! It can cause night wakins, early wakings, nap refusal.. urgh!!

have you been linked to this sticky yet?

I agree with pp. As soon as I saw your routine his A time is short for his age. Most are doing nearer to 4hrs by now. I would push that 1st nap out. Also is that routine the one you were on or what he has been doing the last few days since the trouble started? It would be more helpful to post exact times he did yesterday for example.
With the Pupd if he is laughing I think you are likely doing too much. At this age you eBt to wIt until he pulls up if he can and he is crying his I need you cry. If he is laying down or laughing, not crying etc leave him to it. Pupd is not a way to get him to sleep it is to reassure him when he is upset. If he laughs when you go in or try to lay him down it is unlikely he waS really upset.I got into this with ds1 and as soon as I waited for a try cry, not fussing or moaning etc things improved quickly.
Good luck. Hope the progress continues. Let us know.

Hi totally agree with KM, those A times could really do with being longer. Maybe you could add 10 or 15 mins A time every few days so that OT doesn't creep in. The link that Katy posted is brilliant for giving tips on how to organise your day once A times are longer. So you may find that to keep your day short enough you need to start capping one of the naps.
