My DD is 5 months old, and very recently started falling asleep on her own (and doing a fantastic job with it). However, every single nap she wakes up at the 45 minute mark, and I cannot get her back to sleep for at least another hour. I've tried going in around the 35 minute mark to hold her through the jolts (doesn't help, she fully wakes up every time). I've tried shh/patting her back to sleep (no success). I tried taking her out of her crib for 20 minutes or so, then winding down again and putting her back in (she did NOT like that). If I leave her alone in her crib she just babbles for another hour. I've tried W2S, with no success. From reading around on these boards, I see that some LO's just have the biorhythm to wake up after 45 minutes or so, which doesn't effect her nights sleep. She seems to fit in this category perfectly, but I know she needs more than 3 45 minute naps a day! Does anyone have any suggestions? Would an EASAS schedule work if it was sleep for 45 minutes, A for an hour, then back to sleep for an additional 45 minutes? I could really use some suggestions! Thanks!!
