Nap Question

[pkralev]

Hi all, My dd for the past 3 days has woken up from her naps at about the 45 minute mark crying. I leave her for 5 minutes to see if she'll resettle and she has (i hope this keeps up). Does this mean that she knows how to resettle herself and i don't have to do anything more? Or do have to try the w2s thing? Thanks for your help.

How old is she? How long does she cry for and is it a full blown cry or just fussing? If she resettles quickly and is just fussing for a minute or two it definitely sounds like she knows how to resettle herself. But how old is she and what are her A times?

Hi Marisa's mum, sorry i forgot to mention how old she is. My dd is 12 weeks old and i think it's more fussing than crying. This is roughly our schedule:

7-7.30: E
7.30-9.00: A
9.00-10.30/11: S

11.00: E
11.30-12.30/1.00: A
1.00-2.30/3.00: S

3.00: E
3.30-4.30: A
4.30-5.30: S (only about 30mins when we go for a walk in her pram)

6.00: Bath
6.30: E
7.00: Bedtime (wakes at 45 minute mark but seems to resettle herself.
10.30: DF

She will sometime wake up at 4am and i feed her, should i try and just resette her and hopefully she will sleep until 7.00?
How do i try and make her A time 2 hours? She seems to only be able to stay awake for an hour to an hour and a half , this in effect then cuts her nap time by half an hour and therefore she'll have to wait half an hour for her feed as i am feeding her 4 hourly (she is on formula - DF is expressed breast milk).
TIA.
