Hi again, my lo is not sleeping any later in the morning on this new routine of 2 naps (1:30 in the a.m., and :30 in the p.m.) How long should I keep trying this? She is getting under 13 hours of sleep on this routine and I'm worried about her getting OT, or just plain used to sleeping less! Should I just accept that 6:30 is her wake up time? Or should I stick with it?
2Pam - my lo is 13 months old - glad to hear I'm not the only one with a youngish one! I do wonder about the catnap causing early wake-ups. Although I think I've come up with about a million reasons for why she does it and maybe that is just her? It confuses me though, because before daylight savings, she was doing 7am wake-ups for awhile. She was a habitual early waker since about 3 months old - and we slowly fixed it, so I'm used to this stuff!
Anyway, I'm wondering if I should go back to one nap, or stick with this current plan? My only concern is that she's been waking up at 1:30 on her own pretty consistently. I don't know if its because I've shortened her A time back to 4:30, when she used to do 5:00 on one nap days. Either she is not tired enough to sleep longer than 1:30 on that A time, or she is just habitually waking then?
any advice appreciated (again!)
thanks, katemom
