Waking from nap

[Skadiver13]

Hi Zoe We my LO needs a full A time if on a nap over 45min so we couldn't do the split naps as it was too long. So currently he's doing an a 2hr nap in the AM and 30min CN in the pm.. I haven't bitten the bullet and swapped them yet as we are pushing A time. As soon as I think we've gotten it I'm wondering if I should give that a shot. It's the weirdest thing though as he seems tired in the AM why the heck can't he go back to sleep.

I know I often say to mine how I would quite happily sleep longer lol!! I only changed it as we had 2 days of being busy and it was how it worked out plus LO off to nursery in few weeks and they do after lunch nap so I'm getting prepared for that and dreading OT hell! Mines defo in wonder week madness right now too which makes our naps crazy!

Well let me know how it goes.. I've heard that starts helping with the EW as they get a full A before BT so they aren't OT.

Fingers crossed for us both and dreams of 6.30am wake ups, I'm bit greedy 6.15 would do lol x

I would split it in the middle his 5/5:30 for my 6:30 and deal with a 7:30-6 Can't we all just get along.

I am not best placed to comment on the EWings because DD has done this all her life (yawn) but I wonder if you are becoming a prop? Do you go in ever am at that time to get him back to sleep? I only ask because we did that and then we really tried to reduce the contact we had with her and she did start resettling a bit better. Of course now she is just loud and wakes her brother if we are not careful so that is another issue but I do think that it might be worth trying to hold back a bit. Just a thought.

No i wait and wait and wait praying he wont wake but he always does. I'll leave him for as long as I can but he ends up waking for good everytime. ... He's always done it with the occasional sleep through but never over 10.5hrs. Yawn is right.
