Wanting to Play
« on: January 26, 2010, 14:37:11 pm »
I have noticed the past few days that my daughter wants to get up and play between 3:30 - 5:00.  I try to do the PU/PD method with her but she just laughs and squirms around.  She gets upset if I lay her back down in her crib.  What can I do to get her to realize this is not play time?  Thanks in advance.

Hi there, how old is your LO?  Could you post your routine for us.  It sounds like she might need more A time during the day.

Hi there, how long has she been doing 3 hour A times?  How does she cope when you push her A times, can you do a 15 min increase or does she have to go slowly?

Hi there, you could try adding on some A time in the morning slot.  Do this for 3 days then reassess.
