I think it's time for my LO to go to 2 naps, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. She's 5.5 months old, and I've sort of started trying her on some solids, but she's pretty much still completely breast fed. I usually feed her around 7, 11, 2, 5 and 7:30 to sleep. However, it's been a bit varied since she's been waking up at night again and then sometimes sleeps longer in the mornings. She used to nap from 9:30-11, 1 or 1:30-2 or 2:30 and then about 4:30-5. I'm having a really hard time getting her to go down for her last nap and even her earlier afternoon one is often cut short. I've tried PU/PD to extend naps, but it hasn't worked yet. We have done PU/PD at night sometimes and it has worked. She typically goes to sleep completely on her own for naps.
Do you think I should try to cut a nap? I feel like, by doing so, her eating schedule will be all messed up. She already is more distracted. Today when she woke up from her nap (which she slept for 2 hours) she was super happy and didn't even want to eat really, even though it had been 4 hours. Then, when I got ready to put her down for her second nap, she was starving, so I had to feed her, but then she woke up wide awake, and when I tried again to put her down she was OT and therefore cried to sleep and only slept 30 min. Sigh. This isn't the norm though.
