nap time needs tweaking for 9 month old
« on: April 20, 2010, 23:16:06 pm »
Hi there

Well im back again and once again for my lo whos A time have increased over the past week and all going well, only thing is her last nap when she wakes up only leaves her A time of 2 hour 30, what to do. And am getting an EW of 6am, where she babbles to herself then goes back to sleep off an on, then get her up at 7. She has never been an EWaker, always 7-7.30, so am thinking it might be because of when she wakes from her last nap and then goes to bed at the same time leaving her with not a full A time till bed. Anyways see what you think. Routine as such

7am wake feed bottle
9am breakfast
10.30am sleep (2 hours) (3 hour 30 A time)
12.30pm wake feed lunch
2.30pm feed bottle
4.15pm sleep (45 min) (3 hour 45 min A time)
5pm wake feed dinner
6.30pm bath bedtime routine
7.00pm bottle, and in bed by 7.30pm

When her morning A time was 3 hour 15 and her afternoon A time was 3 hour 30 her last nap time ended at 4.30pm which meant her A time till bed was 3 hours. And her morning wake up was 7am would never wake at 6am. But since the increase off and on, the last few days been waking around 6am. could this be because her last A time is too short? what should i do now, should i only offer her 15 min and wake her at 4.30pm? or wake her at 4.45pm and only offer 30 min.

thanks kirsten

I really would like see some replies on this as I am going through the same thing. Only difference is that my daughter will not sleep atleast until the 3hour mark at night so if she gets up from her nap at 5pm..there is no way she will sleep before 8ishpm and then wake up around 7isham....

yep well i dont want to have to put her down at 8pm, i always aim for an early bedtime, i mean if her A time keeps increasing, does she have a later bedtime? i dont want that i would rather wake her from her CN. See what response i get. i just hate waking her, never had to do it really only when i have to go out. But also she has never taken 30 min CN always been the 45 min one.

See what i get back on this

Ahh well we had an EW again dont know what is going on, so hopefully will get a response to my first post. anyways today went somethign like this

5.45am wake, was happy and talking to herself, so let her be to see if she would go back to sleep, after at about 6.15 could not hear her s dont know if she dosed off, i dont think so, then i heard her again at 6.30, so thought ok she is not going back to sleep, so got her up at 7am

9.45am sleep she was so tired by this time, there was no way to keep her up based on a 7am out of bed time as she does 3 hour 30 A time in the morning, so just read her cues and put her to bed at 9.45am see how she goes, i really need some help on this, as to why this is happening.

thanks kirsten
