No tired cues ~ all the sudden tired
« on: March 29, 2007, 00:08:20 am »
Hello,
My lo is almost 6 months old and I can't seem to read her sleep cues anymore.  It seems like she is fine, playing, enjoying herself and all of the sudden she is tired and I can't get her to bed fast enough.  Her "A" time seems to be 1hr 45 min/2 hours.  Does that seems to short for her age?  She goes to sleep immediately, but sometimes has short naps.  Am I putting her down to early? Maybe she is just bored and needs a change of scenery?

Here is our "routine" (it gets a little strange if she has a short nap)

7am wake/eat
9am nap - lately its been 45 min
11am eat
11:15am - put down for another short nap 45 min
12pm solids
1:30 nap - 2 hrs (coordinate with 2 yr old sister)
3:30 wake/eat
4:30 solids
5:00 attempt catnap - no longer than 45 min
6:30/7:00 bedtime depending on catnap

Thanks!

Try moving that first nap to 9.30am to try and get a longer nap then eliminate that 11.15am nap. The rest looks great.
