My LO just turned 8mths and has been stuck on 1-1.25hr naps for both AM & PM naps. Our day looks something like this:
Wakes 6-6.30am
Bottle 7am
Breakfast 8am (cereal, bit of toast)
School run of older DS
Put down 9-9.30am depending on awake time in morning. Usually sleeps until 10-10.30am.
Bottle 11am
Outing and play at home
Lunch at 12pm (veges & fruit)
Play with toys or outside with me
Nap 1-1.30pm depending on awake time from last nap (if still asleep need to wake him up at 2:30pm for school run)
Afternoon tea 3.00pm (Yogurt, fruit, cheese etc)
Outing to shops and/or play
Dinner 5pm (veges & fruit)
Bath 6pm
Bottle 6.30pm
In cot for sleep 6.45 pm. No issues going down, sleeps all night rarely wakes
- His awake time currently is approx 2.5hrs, is it too short? should I try and extend this?
- Because of the afternoon school run, I need to wake him up if he is still sleeping and depending how he is will offer him a catnap at about 4:20ish for 30mins just to get him thru. If he does have the CN then bedtime is at 7pm, but if not, then he is in bed for 6:30pm
- How do I work it so that he has a longer AM nap and then maybe a shorter one in the afternoon given the time constraint for pick up etc
thanks for your help.
