Well we had a really good day yesterday, so I am not sure why we still had an EW. I'll see if I can explain.
My LO woke up yesterday at 6am, went to bed a little before 7pm, had 3 decent naps, and STILL woke up at 4:30am, fell asleep, woke at 5:00, fell asleep, woke at 5:30 babbled turned into crying, so I went in and fed her, and put her back to bed. After 15 more minutes she started crying again so I went in and fed her some more, and put her back to bed. She mantra cried for 15 more minutes and finally fell asleep at 6:45a. I will go wake her at 7:30 if she does not wake on her own before then.
I am not really even sure if she was hungry, or wanted to simply get up, but it looks like she finally got the message. Perhaps I am going to have to do this for a few mornings - or change something else? I don't know. But otherwise her first nap would have been at 7:15a - which seems silly - that's wake up time, not nap time!
She is typically an 11 hour a night sleeper - other than waking up to babble and sometimes for a feed.
So here is or routine from yesterday:
6:00a – wake
6:15a – nurse then A time
7:10a – solids then more A time
7:52a – in crib
8:07a – asleep (awake 2 hrs, 7 min)
9:29a – awake, (nap = 1 hr 22 min)
10:00a – nurse then A time
11:41a – in crib (@ 2 hrs 12 min)
11:50a – asleep (Awake 2 hours 20 min)
12:20p – awake – oh no! only 25 min..... BUT
12:40p – asleep again
1:45p – awake (total sleep = 1 hr 35 min)
2:00p – feed then A time
3:52p – IN crib (2 hrs 7 min)
4:07p – asleep (Awake 2 hrs 22 min)
4:49p – awake (slept 42 min) A time
5:15p – snack, walk outside in stroller
5:50p – bath
6:10p – final feed
6:55p – asleep
Am I doing somethinig wrong The only blip I see is her waking in the middle of her nap, at 25 min, so perhaps she was a little OT, but she went back to sleep after babbling for 20 min.
Also, as I mentioned she is an 11 hour a night sleeper, so her days tend to be 13 hours, which perhaps is long, but that's the way she is!
AARRGGHH!
