What would you do?
I only get 1:30 nap lengths if I only offer one nap a day, and most of the time I offer 2, I get as little as 1:15 (although sometimes I can get 2:00!) It's a gamble everyday...what would you do?
Here is what I've tried consistently for several days, and one of the days I got 2:05 total naptime, and the others I got 1:15.
Wake
Asleep after 3:40-3:50 A time
wakes after 30-35 minutes (either on her own, or if I do to try to protect pm nap).
Asleep after 3:20-3:30 A time
Awake either after 45 min, (1/5 times) or 1:30 (1/6 times).
Asleep for the night after 3:30-4:00 A time
I've also tried letting her sleep long for the first am nap, and that only worked once for me, because all the other times I tried it, she woke up between 35-45 minutes later on her own. I guess I could also try less A time between nap 1 and 2, but I was starting to wonder if she wasn't tired enough because it took her a long time to fall asleep - so I was thinking she wasn't tired enough to sleep 1:30. (?)
I'm going crazy! I dread the approaching first nap every day because I'm always trying to figure out what the crap I'm going to do...
what would you do?
