Hello! I have a 14 wo DS. We started on EASY about 5 weeks ago and have made great progress with our bedtimes and nights. Now we are working on naps. Because of reflux and congestion, I have allowed my LO to take all of his naps in his swing for the past month or so. Both conditions have improved so I am attempting to transition him to his crib for his naps. I have been allowing him to take his first nap of the day in his swing (usually 1.5-2 hrs, resettles independently), then I try his second nap in the crib. He consistently wakes up after 35 min, despite attempts at resettling (w2s, shush-pat, PU/PD, HTTJ), and I can't get him back to sleep. I'm assuming this is an OT nap so I have been decreasing his A time before this nap however he still wakes at the 35 min mark. So I'm not sure what to do . . . should I continue to decrease his A time??? The day usually deteriorates after this nap - by the time he is hungry and nurses, his A time is too long and his next nap is also 35 min no matter where he sleeps . . . although usually his last nap of the day is at least an hour so he is OT at BT but not too OT. He usually wakes happy from his first nap (and gets mad when I try to resettle him) but then wakes grumpy from his second (OT) nap. He sleeps great in his crib at night and rarely needs resettling at night.
Any thoughts/suggestions? I can post a day in EASY if that would help. I'm tempted to let him take all of his naps in his swing for the next day or two so he can catch up on sleep.
The swing is in the living room, BTW - I keep it dark with his white noise on - I also have a pack-n-play in the living room that he used to nap in before the congestion hit (those naps were rarely longer than 45 min) - I could also go back to using the PNP . . . ideally I would like him napping in his crib however him getting good sleep is more important.
