6 1/2 mo hysterical 30-35min into nap?

[Mummydownunder]

Can anyone offer me some advise?

DD2 is 6 1/2 mo, she is pretty much a textbook baby most of the time and up until a week ago her am nap was always 1hr 15, her lunchtime nap 45min then needed resettling for a further 45min-1hr. This week I have extended her A time but there hasn't been any improvement.

Her routine loks like this:-
She wakes about 6.30
E 6.45 milk
E 8 solids
A til 8.45-9.00
S til 9.30 screams for 20-30mins then falls back to sleep for 45min- 1hr (during this time I PU/PD)

E 11
E 12 solids
A til 1.15-1.30
S til  1.45-2.00 screams for 20-30 mins then falls back to sleep for 45min- 1hr (during this time I PU/PD)

If she wakes again after 3pm she doesn't have a catnap
A 6.00 (bath/bed routine)
E 6.30 milk and into bed by 6.45-7

Can anyone help me regarding the waking after 30-40mins??

I look forward to your thoughts,

Victoria

I'd try putting her down 5-10 mins sooner because it may be she is just a touch OT.

Thanks Anna, I'll give it a go tomorrow and see ifthere is any improvement. Fingers crossed!

well it seemed to work for two days but now we are back to square one. it is driving me insane!!

i am unsure whether or not she is overtired because when i put her down she just lays in her cot has a bit of a play and then falls asleep without any fuss at all. if she was overtired wouldn't she be upset when i put her down??

Not necessarily. Have you tried sneaking in to her room at around the 25 mins mark and see what happens? Maybe if you are in there you might be able to soothe her and gently ease her past the half hour wake up mark?
