Morning everyone
First can I say a big thanks to Newmum for coming on and avising us as it is great to have someone who has been through this recently supporting us
We had a crazy day yesterday after L's early wake
Nap 1 lasted 40 mins and nap 2 started while we were out walking and she kept sceaming in her sleep as she is teething her molars, after 50 mins she suddenly screamed and was thrashing around (I was actually scared!) so I took her out and bought her in and she fell asleep in my arms for another 40 mins! She hasn't done that for months. When she finally woke after another half an hour she seemed ok but was dribbley and biting on her dummy and she went to bed at 6pm after just 2½ hours A time and rolled over and went straight to sleep and STTN
She woke this morning at 6am chatted for 20 mins and then fell asleep until 7.20 am
She has NEVER slept this late! I'm sure she is just extra tired rom teething but I am aiming to put her down just before 12 and if she takes a decent nap it will be another one nap day for us
Simonealisa, I think you generally cut the AM nap to 1 hour and then put them for the second nap 3-3.5 hrs later but I see your LO has a shorter A time than that so maybe oit would be after 2hrs but best get some advice off someone else as my DD has never had average A times, some were longer and some shorter.
Amy, the walk in the pushchair is a good idea for conserving some energy but I have to do my walk earlier as DD will fall asleep on transit!
Laura Rose, your routine sounds fabulous! We have never had a routine like that
Edjo my DD had those middle of the night awake playing when she has new milestones but be careful as they can get LO OT but unfortunately there is not much you can do about it if they decide to play on their own without needing you. Definitely give DD some cot time, you need your coffee break
Sorayas mom, your routine is similar to ours or what I usually strive for, a long AM nap and the a short PM nap though Leorah uaually needs 4 hrs A time after her AM nap so we cut the catnap at 20 mins, just enough for dinner and the bedtime routine.
I hope we all get good naps and nights today
