what time for bed tonight?
« on: December 07, 2008, 21:35:39 pm »
Hey! I need some help.. not sure if my 6.5 month old dd is UT or OT...

The past three days my lo has been waking up early from her 2nd nap (well probably now we are at OT as I write this out)... this is what the last three days have looked like

Friday
615amish wake up/prevacid for her reflux
7ish - breastfeed
815ish - solids
9ish - nap (2.5 hrs today)
11:30 - breastfeed
1230 - solids
2ish - nap (45 minutes - could not extend)
3pm - breastfeed
415ish - solids
6pm  - breastfeed and bed
NWings at 745, 830, 840, 845pm - woke up screaming so i fed - right back to sleep, got up at her usual 130ish feeding and wake up for day at 600am

Saturday
600AM wake up/prevacid
7ish - breastfeed
8ish - solids
9am - nap 2 hrs
11am breastfeed
12ish - solids
130ish - nap (45 minutes - but hubby was able to extend and she slept another 45 minutes)
305 - breastfeed
5ish - solids (went for a walk and didnt get home until then
6 breastfeed
630 bedtime
NWings 745 and 830 but was patted back to sleep/got up at 130 to breastfeed and then woke for day at 550

Today (sunday)
550 - wake
615 got her out of crib and prevacid
7ish breastfeed
815 - solids
915 nap 2 hrs
1115ish - breastfeed
1245 Solids
135 - nap (wouldnt settle herself very well/got up within 25 minutes and wouldnt settle back to sleep)
3pm - breastfeed
4:08 - catnap for 22 minutes (had to pat and she got up heirself) 
430 - giving her a cluster feed today as seemed hungry lately  in late afternoon

This is where we are so far...

She seemed fussy at 115 for nap so that is why i put her up... but maybe she wasnt tired?  Should i have waited? 

what time for bed?

The frequent nwings are new... she usually only gets up once to eat around 130 - 330am each night).. the only time i fed her was the Friday night 845 wake up cause she would not settle and was screaming bloody murder - she never does that... she ate a full meal. Last nights nWings didnt require a feed until her regular "nwing"...

She is teething I think so that could play a part.. but i have no clue what i am doing wrong!

Please help!

Teething can defintley wreak havoc on sleep.  Have you tried giving your lo some teething gel before a nap, or when she seems fussy?

With regards to your 2nd nap, you are consistently getting 45 minute naps, this generally means that your lo is UT, so would aim at extending that A time by 15 mins and see how you get on.  The first A time of the morning is generally a shorter one as this is an extension of their night time sleep.
