Advice needed please!!
« on: March 11, 2010, 17:09:14 pm »
Hi there,

Just checking that I am doing this right!!

DD is 1 next week and I am tweaking her routine to get her to STTN - Has done about 6 times since she turned 6 months!!
She STTN twice in a row after 2 days like this

7.45 am awake

Nap 10.55 - 11.55am

Nap 2 3.10 - 4.25pm

She woke herself both days at 1hr 15 mins.

I have decided to cut her am nap by 10 mins today and I had to wake her after 1.5 hours from her pm nap.  I decreased her previous 'A' time of 3hrs 30 mins after her 1st nap to just 3 hours.  I will do this 'routine' for a few days then start to push out the morning 'A' to 3hours 20mins.  When she gets used to that, then reduce her 1 st nap again etc....  Is this ok or am I getting it all back to front.  Thought I would ask before I tried anything!!

TIA,

Siobhan

Hi there--

I guess I'm not totally tracking with your goal . . . are you trying to drop to 1 nap?  Are you thinking that on one nap, she'll be  more likely to STTN?

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry I wasnt very clear in my post - distracted by DD.  We are doing the 2 - 1 transition and I just wanted to check that I was on the right path.  I know 1 nap is a long way off but I didn't want to start off on the wrong foot.

On the above days that she STTN, she went to bed at 8.00pm.  I thought that I decreased the am nap and increased the pm nap whilst pushing out 'A'times in the morning and before bed and gradually 'merging' the 2 naps into 1.  Does that make any sense? Super tired today so a bit hazy...

TIA,

Siobhan

Sorry that I missed getting back to this!  Yes, your plan makes sense; I'd just take it slowly as it may take months to drop the short morning nap, so I wouldn't shrink it further until you see signs that your LO needs that . . .

Hope that makes sense. :)

Thanks for the reply,

Good to know we are on the right track!  Will take it slowly as it takes her a while to get used to changes so we're not in a rush.

Thanks,
