Please tell me the switch flips at 6 months!

[ZacsMumme]

Same here with Zac. I think they realise they can get into different positions for sleep, but then get a little confused about it all or stuck Hang in there it doesnt last forever

Riley did the same thing for awhile before she realized she liked tummy sleeping. At least it was still only 1 NF to settle her. Two short naps today so DH hopped in the car with both girls (Riley has skipped naps for a week now) and they both fell asleep. So I'm scrapping the CN & aiming for an early BT for Avery. Where's my magic switch?

Sounds like Riley is gonna drop that last nap soon

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

Still waiting for things to get better......

It's only a week and half since she hit that 6 month mark - some moms say it's closer to 7 months   There is still time!

How long is her A time first thing in the morning?  You are also at that great age when tired signs can be totally fake!

Yuuuup!!  If A times haven't been upped in a few weeks, I'd take a look at that, too

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

 I'm (half!) kidding, just having a bad 2 days. DH has been away etc. I do wonder if her tired signs are fake lately come to think of it. Yesterday & today were about 2 hours 30-40 mins and both yielded short naps. Yesterday 45 mins & today less than 40 but I got her back for another hour.

Up that A time!  It should be closer to a solid 3 hours

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

I tried this morning to up it, she still woke at the 45 minute mark but DH went in & resettled her (I was out running) and she slept another 45-50 until the wind slammed a door & woke her but she did end up with about 1.5 hours of sleep so I'm going to see what happens with this next nap. We did have have a weird night so maybe today isn't the best measure of success? And I think I might start offering a "lunch" to her because she is loving her solids

What A time did you manage this morning?

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

I *think* 2 hours 45-50 mins, I'm not exactly sure when she woke up. But she woke from her nap at 10:30 so I'm going to aim to put her down as close to 1:30 as I can.

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

Well she went down at 1:20 but was up at 2:00  Oh well....

[*Kara*]

Keep her first A time at 2 hrs 45 min for a week and see if that first nap lengthens a bit... it won't happen right away.  If she naps less than 90 mins, you want to keep her second A time a bit shorter to compensate for the shorter nap.

[Riley&Avery'sMommy]

Same thing this morning, 2 hours 50 A, woke at 40 mins. I went in after 10-15 mins put her back on her side with paci & got another 45 mins. DH thinks the paci is becoming a prop and I wonder if he's right. He thinks that's why she's not transitioning during naps lately. I think we might try to ditch it before it becomes a problem. Her nights have been good. Hmm....

[*Kara*]

If she sleeps at night with it, then you know she can go without - might be a good time to ditch it.  Her naps aren't great right now anyways so you may as well take the opportunity!
