My DD used to sleep 7pm - 7am, but now for the last couple of weeks she has been waking at 5.30am cannot go back to sleep, and is happy to see me.
Her day goes like this
5.30am Wake, try to go back to sleep, but can't.
6.30-7am Feed
8.30am Nap for 1hr, (overtired?) maybe 1.5hr (3hrs awake) Wake round about 10am-10.20am, happy.
11am Feed
12.30pm nap (2hrs, I have to wake her up) (2.10hrs awake) I think I can push her to 2.20hrs awake but she will be overtired.Wake her up at 2.30pm
3pm Feed
4.30-4.45pm Try and put her down for catnap,(30-45mins) overtired? Refuses. (2hrs-2.15hrs awake time)
6.00pm bath and bedtime routine
6.45-7pm Sleep
10pm DF (currently weaning her off this one) but she doesn't take as much food as she is tired throughout the day.
The question is :
Do I put her to bed later, like 7.30pm?
Should I try to keep her awake more, if this is the case she will be so overtired.
Should I be increasing her afternoon nap, to 2.5hrs,with no catnap at 4.45pm and go to bed at the same time 6.45pm-7.00pm.
I would like her to sleep till at least 6.30am.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
