Hello,
Quick question. Does any of you ladies have any tips on how to extend the A time with Spirited easily OS baby?
I've been fighting UT/OT loop for almost 5 weeks now.
My 6 month old LO is a very Spirited baby with surprisingly short A time. He gets so easily OS even by playing with his hands. I find impossible to extend his A time and this is causing 45 min nap monster which is causing UT/OT drama on daily basis. He was fine when we where upping his A times in the past and it always was an instant fix for his naps.
This is our EASY from today and it is pretty much as it looks like ever day now.
7.00 wake up and E - milk
8.30 E solids
9.15 S - he start being fussy at 8.30, in bed by 9.10, fall asleep in 5 min followed by 45 min nap
10.30ish - A
11.00 E milk
12.15 E Solids
12.45 S - again 45 min nap
14.00 - snooze for 20 min in buggy (clearly OT)
15.00 E milk
16.00 S - 45min!
by 17.30 he gets really fussy so we bath him and prepare for bedtime
18.30 E milk
19.00 S
Feed at any time between 22.00 and 24.00 (DF never worked for us) and one more feed at any time between 2.00 and 4.00
He wakes up few times at night, sometimes falls asleep straight away, sometimes he needs dummy and his teddy. I know this because he is so OT by bedtime.
I know that he needs more A time but how to do it!? He cries and scratches his face (very disturbing) if I am trying to extend his A time by even 5 min. Do you have any tips? OR Am I to soft for him?
