10 mo old-EW, short naps
« on: September 15, 2014, 16:04:08 pm »
My lo is almost 11 months and for the last 3 weeks has been waking early between 5 & 5:45 and has been taking 40-50 min naps half the time.  The other half she does either her normal 1 hr and 10 min, or sometimes a 1:30 or 2 hr if she's really overtired.  the last few days she's fought her afternoon nap, screaming as soon as I walk in the nursery, screaming as I try to rock her and she usually goes down independently for naps so it's really strange. 

A 5:30
E nurse 5:30-6:30 in bed w me
E 7:00 solids
A
S 9:30
E 10:30 nurse (approximate time depending on nap length)
E 11:30 solids
S 2:00  (if she takes a normal nap) she has fought this nap until 3:45-4 A handful of times
E 3:00 nurse
E 4:30 snacks
E 5:30 solids ( I've been playing with dinner time, was 5, then moved out to 6, now trying 5:30)
7:00 books, bath
E 7:30 nurse
S 7:45 bed


My question is does this seem like a 2 to 1 transition?  She is teething (molars) and she is ravenous indicating a growth spurt.  I know those things can affect sleep so I'm just wondering how do I know for certain whether I should try to transition her to one nap?

It does sound like it's on the way, yes. However, I'm thinking the day is much too long atm which could be contributing to the OT from the teething too. The emw could also be down to the teething so I'd be hesitant to try too much of a shake-up of routine just yet.

I'd be tempted to extend the second A and try for a nap around 2.30pm instead of 2. Then Try for BT by 6.30/7 latest dependant on nap length. Wdyt? It would mean your solids dinner will need to be moved to around where the snack time was at 4/4.30? X
