Hi, I have a 12 week old who will not nap longer than 30 mins. I have the first two BW books, but am still at a loss. We have been on easy from the beginning, here was our typical day:
7 wake and eat
7:20 Activity, change, floor/tummy time
8 Sleep (she can't be up for more than an hour without becoming OT) 1.5-2hrs
10 eat
10:20 Activity
11 sleep
1 eat
1:20 Activity
2 sleep
4 eat
4:20 activity
5 sleep
6 eat
6:30 sleep (unless it is bath night, then closer to 7)
11 dream feed
4 feed then right back to sleep til 7
Now she still wakes at 7, but is tired right away after eating. She goes down for a nap but sleeps no more than 30 mins. We have kept our routine, but it means she is awake for way too long. She sometimes goes back to sleep after about an hour, but will scream if left in her crib (even with shh pat). I have been trying W2S for almost a week, and even with that she still wakes up at the 30 min mark. She used to be such a happy baby, now she is tired and cranky all the time (and quite frankly so am I!) The last two nights she has been waking between 1 and 2 and not going back down till close to 5, then waking to eat between 6 and 6:30. I really don't know what to do anymore. My husband says to just let her cry it out, but I can't do that. Any help could quite possibly save my sanity.
