Hi Ladies
Our last few days have gone:
24/8 - tired today due to bust naps yesterday so easy to get down for both naps for once!
Wake: 5.50
Nap: 9.45 - 10.30 (I woke him)
Nap: 2.05 - 3.35 (I woke him)
BT: 7.05
25/8
NW: 5.45/6 - 6.15 (I heard him at 6 but DH says he was up at 5.45 - went quiet again at 6.15 - back to sleep)
Wake: 7.20
Nap: 12.00 - 2.40 (he stirred/cried out at 40mins but straight back to sleep. He woke naturally)
BT: 7.00 (think maybe he wasn't *quite* tired enough for BT
26/8 - today
Wake: 6.30 (woke briefly at 5.30)
Nap: 11.30 - 1.30 (he stirred/cried out at 40mins but straight back to sleep. He woke naturally)
BT: 6.45
So he did a great 11.5hr night last night, but I think maybe he woke a little earlier due to the long nap & possibly not enough A to BT. So today I aimed for PD at 11.15 to keep A the same as yesterday but he seemed OK so I did 11.30am (5hrs A). Of course b/c WU was earlier today AND he napped a shorter nap, his A to BT was a lot longer than yesterday. Hoping this gives us a good night.
I think each time we've done 1 nap days, he seems to do his longest nap if the AM A time is 4.75hrs, so I may try that again tomorrow.
Shiv - I saw on another thread you are now doing some 1 nap days with your LO - do you do this at a set time or after a set amount of A time? Or is it one & the same b/c she wakes at the same time every day? Just wondering b/c we are still having quite varied WU's with O, despite doing pretty much the same BT every day (unless naps are a total bust) & so this is really varying the time of our nap. I'm wondering if his bodyclock is ever going to get used to it, b/c if I stick with set AM A times, then his PM A time might be short one day & then v long the next leading to OT by BT IYSWIM? I can't face having to adjust A times here there & everywhere anymore its too much of a guessing game for me as I have really no idea how long he can do. So I was thinking of maybe doing a set nap of 12 midday & seeing how we go. Or is that risky as if he wakes earlier than 7am we have a very long A time to his nap
