Hi there,
My 7.5 month old DS used to be wonderful in the nap department but for the last few weeks has had trouble with his afternoon nap. Here is our usual routine:
7am - wake, bottle
8:15am - breakfast
9am - nap
11am - bottle
12:15pm - lunch
1/1:30pm - nap
3pm - bottle
5:15pm - dinner
6pm - bath
6:30 - bottle and sleep till morning
He consistently sleeps 2 hours in the morning and for the most part sleeps through the night. He shows signs of being tired around 1 or sometimes 1:30 so I try to put him down. He will then either fall asleep and wake up 30 minutes later playing or crying and either way refuse to go back to sleep OR he will play awhile in his crib, eventually fall asleep, but wake up 30 minutes or so later. I know this is not enough sleep for him because now that we've dropped the 5pm catnap, he is very cranky in the evening and usually falls asleep when I give him his evening bottle. I've tried putting him down around 5pm for a catnap but he refuses that as well and I hate to regress since we've already given it up.
I would appreciate any advice!!
