Tweaking naps to tackle NW and EW for 11 month old
« on: May 27, 2010, 06:35:00 am »
Hi ladies!

I have already posted under night wakings, but I though I could get advice on naps as well.

My 11 month old (10.5) needs help with transitions for every nap time. For the AM nap, I have stopped intervening and let him nap for 40-45 mins. For the PN nap, I try to extend to 1h30 but mostly he is up in 1 or 1h15.

His day is somewhat like this

4:00AM - 180 ml formula, watered-down, trying to cut it all together (last few nights he's doesnt settle even with milk and is up till 6AM!)
5:30AM - Wake up (sometime its 6 or 6:30 but very rarely!)
6:30AM - 180 ml formula (just introduced this after someone from the forums suggested
8-830 - Breakfast
10-1045 AM Nap
11:30AM - Lunch
2:30PM - 210ml formula
2:30-3:30PM - Nap
5.45PM - Dinner
7.15PM - 210 ml formula
7:30-7:45PM - bedtime (I'm trying PU/PD here, so it takes longer to put him down and A time gets stretched even more)

If someone can tell me how to change his nap time so we can get better results at night, I'd be very grateful. Right now, he wakes up 1-3 times before 4AM and then EW is around 4 or 430AM. I'm still working on PU/PD for night, but am not terribly successful. For his naps I still rock him to sleep, he's a rather spirited fellow, and quite heavy at 12kgs. He's also teethign right now, but his previous 5 teeth never bothered him coming, not sure if these are.

Just to keep all of your advice in one place, I'm going to redirect this thread to the one you have going in NWs :)  So, any advice can be posted here:
