I hope this is the right board to post on! DS (8 mos on the 24th) has reflux, and we've recently switched his meds, and his NW's have drastically improved. For instance, last night he was only up twice (12:30 and 3:30), which was amazing. But, for the past week or more, has been getting up progressively earlier and earlier. We've gone from 7:15 wake ups to 4:45am this morning (for the past two weeks he's been up before 6am)! And all the AP in the world doesn't get him back down again. And PU/PD isn't really an option because of his reflux.
A few other things about my bub: he's a chronic short napper. Has been since about 3 months. We get 30-40 minutes usually, and once in a blue moon will get a lovely 1hr - 1hr20 nap. But it's not consistent (we were working on that till a few weeks ago when he started waking up every 2hrs at night to scream). He has no props. Sometimes takes a paci, sometimes not. He goes down independently for the majority of sleeps, naps and BT.
A 'typical' day (things never stay the same, do they?) these days looks like this:
Wake: 5:30am (although today at 4:45am... not sure what the rest of the day is gonna look like)
A: 5:30 - 8:30
S: 8:30 - 9
A: 9 - 11:30
S: 11:30 - 12:00
A: 12:00 - 2:00
S: 2:00 - 2:30
A: 2:30 - 4:30
S: 4:30 - 5:00
A: 5:00 - 7:00
BT: 7:00
We've gone from 3 naps back to 4! I feel like we are back tracking... any way, do you think the EW's have to do with the short naps? Or is it a separate issue? We are all exhausted! I feel like DS is so overtired, but I can't even AP longer naps any more to try and catch up...
Thanks for your help everyone!
