Afternoon nap rpoblems for 9 month old...

[debo620]

well he is definately OT.
he was cranky even sitting in my arms at 9:45--which already seemed too late because he didn't even want me reading to him...so in to bed at 9:50 and is now crying...
so he will probably take a crappy nap now anyhow and his pm nap will be really early...this sucks.

[debo620]

asleep at 10:05 after quite alot of off and on crying...

[debo620]

cried out at the 25minute mark but thankfully went back to sleep...

[debo620]

awake at 11am--woke on his own..so a little less then 1hr. plan on next nap around 2:30 I think.

[debo620]

I thought yesterday ended up pretty ok..

down at 2:40, asleep maybe 2:55, woke at 4:30 or so on his own,
except that he was crying and cranky from 6:30 onward...and then rubbing his eyes at 7:30--so I put him to bed after feeding about 7:55, he cried as soon as I left but then quieted...
not sure if he was sleeping by 8 or not, he then kicked his crib rails or something at 8:15 and then nothing..
so im assuming he was asleep about 8:15 or so..

well then he woke at 11:45--and Mike went in, all in all he was awake 15min or so
then he woke at 5:00--so I fed him about 5:15, backin bed for 5:20, quiet for 20min and then crying again at 5:45, it took all the way til 6:30 to get him back to sleep, lots of crying like he was tired but couldn't settle..
I did give him tylenol about 6am..

so we both slept til 8, when I woke him.

[debo620]

well sleeping til 8 was a mistake, although he was rubbing his eyes and yawning at 10:30 and in to bed at 10:40, now hes just playing/crying..

figured even though he had slept til 8 he would be tired from being awake 5-6:30am, I know I am..

will see what time he settles and limit it to 40min..

hopeing to go the zoo today..dont want Noah to nap today as he was up about 7:20 or so.

Im tired, and Mike has hockey again tonight at 6:30pm

[debo620]

well he is asleep at 11,

so we will go to the zoo from 12-2 or so..

assuming his afternoon nap wont start til 3:30 or so--should i wake him at 4:30? and then put him to bed early--like 7:30?

[debo620]

uugh, I knew this would happen, hes rested from being at the zoo, no where to crawl around...

was home by 2:30 and let him play for 45min or so, did wind down at 3:15, now its 3:35 and Im hopeing he goes to sleep before 4.

[debo620]

well yesterday, napped about
3:45--4:52-I woke him, bed at 7:55 and fell asleep nicely, quietly talking, asleep at 8:25,

he then woke at 2am--a bit early for a feed< I thought, so Mike tried to settle him for 10min or so
and then I decided that I would give him formula in a sippy overnight so that I can water it down and wean it all together. He drank 5oz and refused any more..
so back to bed and all hell breaks loose--
no sleep til close to 4am...

so he lost 2hrs of night sleep,
and I had to wake him at 7:50am--to get ready for Noah's school run etc..

I put him down at 10:15--beacuse he was so cranky and crying at everything....and he has been crying off and on ever since. its now 10:35 and ive been in there now and re sang song...
really hope he goes to sleep soon.

by the time I get him to sleep, Im going to have to wake him.

this sucks and I am 99% sure I have strep throat.

[debo620]

well Noah has been off and on sick for awhile too..

my sis Erin has strep--has for like 8 weeks and has been on 3 or 4 different courses of Abx. now the whole family has to be on abx just in case one of them is a carrier.

some super resistant strain! Great!

dont know if it can get to babies as much..

Im thinking of going to the walk-in clinic and getting us all swabbed and at least asking for a prescription for myself.
just trying to figure out how and when.

[debo620]

luckily, Noah shouldn't need to nap today, so yup Ive packed up left overs for Cohen. and thats a good idea. eating at the walk-in, hmm may pack up a bagel for Noah.

[debo620]

well thursday ended up ok..

slept 3:15-4:35 or so
bed 8 and straight too sleep
woke at 1:30-BF
slept til 7:30

friday
nap 10:30-11:15 woke  on his own
nap 2:45--but not asleep til 3:15, I think because he had mostly been in the stroller while we walked to the market. up at 4:40 when I woke him
bed 8--quiet and then talking, asleep about 8:20
woke at 4:30 BF then
woke at 6:40am--what the hell?? to early, so he stayed in his room til 7:30

today-
awake at 6:40, in room til 7:30
nap 10-11---I let him sleep the 1hr am nap since the nap was early, but he did wake on his own after 1hr.
nap in crib for 2:40---so 3hr40min--same as always but he is crying off and on, wondering if hes OT? he didn't seem tired at all but we had been at a bday party and he had lots of stimulation and activity so just went with what has been working. either hes OT or UT and refusing to go to sleep....umm not sure which one.

[debo620]

asleep 3-4:35 whe I woke him.
bed 8, asleep 8:30

hopeing for a 7/7:30 wake.

you must be busy, mom is at your house?
how is the new Owen?

[debo620]

asleep last night 8pm, woke at 3:00am--didn;t fight on the no feed thing--but will need to eventually, woke at 7am--so decent nights sleep 11hrs or so

wake 7
nap 10-11--1hr--should of limited this to 45
nap down at 2:50--didn't fall alseep til 3:15, slept til 4:35 when I woke him
bed 8,
not asleep yet at 8:30
8:40 now he is crying.

so I think Ill aim for this:
wake 7
nap 10:15-11--limit to 45
nap 2:45-4:15
asleep 8 ish.

[debo620]

well now its 9pm and he is still not asleep...Ive been in there and he screams when I leave. I dont know what is wrong or what to do for him.

go to sleep Cohen!

so tonight will be a short night either which way. seems like Ill have to limit his day sleep to 2hrs.
