So much so for hoping for a good day! It was yucky andbt so far going horribly wrong! I give up with my lo!

Wake 6:10
Nap 9:15-9:50 (settled perfectly and woke himself. Was happy rest of the following A time)

Nap 12:45/50-1:45 (I took him in at 1:35 but he was fidgeting around and had very restless sleep. He finally only settled at 1:50. But didn't sleep a long as I hoped. I managed to resettle after he woke by holding but he only slept for 10 mins. Woke up beaming! Grrrr!

Then I took him in at 5:50 for 6 pm bt. Wasn't that a reasonable enough A time? I couldn't possibly take Him in earlier could I?

He settled beautifully by 6. But then wheat 6:10. Then took till 6:30 to rustle. E wasn' crying which he would if ot right? He was justquiel looking around. Then he fell asleep. But then woke again ay 6:45!!! I am o frustrated! Now I'm going to leave him and finally go eat. Hoping he won't wake again in 10 mins!

What should I do? Didn't I offer him a good day? Why wont he nap!! Aaurghhh!

I think you just have to copy the link then paste it into your reply?? I think....

So after those ridiculous early wu he slept from 7:30-10:15, fed, then back to sleep till 3 fussed a bit cos I tried not feeding at 3, then slept till 6:30. But he's tired this am. Have put him down at 9:30. Let's see....

Another day very similar to yesterday.

Wake 6:25
Nap 9:25-10 (once again ths 35 min business!!)
Nap 12:50-1:30...oh no! Then I managed to resettle from 1:40-2
Bt asleep by 6:05

I am confused. He is suddenly doing this weird am nap dramatic shortening! But even f I try a low A time after I don't get a complete long pm nap.

I am thinking I have 2 options. Increase the morning A time or put him down even sooner for the pm nap? Say after 2.5 hrs?

I would try 2hr30 after a 30 min nap to be honest. You have nothing to lose by giving it a go and that pm nap looks OT to me. We are doing 2hr45 A after a 45 min am nap at the moment. I am trying set naps....9.30 - 10.15 and then 1 - whenever he wakes!

Yesterday went like this...

6.30 - wake up
nap 1 - 9.30 - 10.15
nap 2 - 1pm - 3.30!!!
7 - bedtime

I was so chuffed with our mamouth 2hr30 nap yesterday afternoon because I'd been hoping that it would lenghten once he got used to the nap times but it was too much....he woke at 5.30 this morning and chatted and dosed until up at 6.30. Didnt even try to get him back to sleep as it was obvious that he wasnt tired. So lesson learned, if I ever get the chance again, will wake at 2 hours from pm nap to give 4hr A time to 7pm bed!

Hows everyone else doing?
