wonky naps again :(

[*happy*]

oh well....so much for me thinking i'd sorted the naps out....back in search of more help 

my LO will be 7MO on the 16th.
currently doing 3hrs A time, going down for her 1st nap with no problems & sleeping 90 mins on average.
today's 2nd nap just ended in tears after 24 mins  after 3 hrs A time. It also started in tears, teh second i put her into the cot....help help help!is it tiem to increase A time againor decrease if the naps are so short?

[ZacsMumme]

Any teeth coming? If so I would medicate before that pm nap in case they are moving at that time.
Try extending that second A 15 mins and see if she settles better first nap....if OU get ashore one I would bring the next A forward 15-20 mins x

[*happy*]

not sure re teeth!she has the bottom 2 but i missed those ones coming up!!!!so tomorrow,i should try keeping the first A to 3 hrs & the 2nd A to 3h15?

[ZacsMumme]

If your still getting a good am nap I would just increase the next one first to see how that goes. Then you can push the other...

[*happy*]

sorry...i'm still a bit confused baby brain!
this morning looks like this:
awake 6.30am
moaning in cot 6.50am
E 7am
solids 8am

do i aim to put her down as normal for this 1st nap?
and then push the next A time from 3hrs to 3hrs 15?

sorry!

what do ye think?ye've always helpd to fix things in the past!!!ye've set the bar!!!

[ZacsMumme]

Okay I think your right both A times need an increase, usually 1hr15 min naps are UT.
Try an extra 10-15 mins before the am nap, and if you get over an hour nap then add the same A for the pm nap. If you get a shortpm nap and can't extend try for an EBT maybe 6.30

What do you think?

[*happy*]

i can NEVER extend naps!!!!misrable failure at it!!!honestly cant rem the last time i managed it!!!!
will def try to extend the first A time....she's often quite sleepy still in the morn,so might be a bit of a challenge!will do some low-key stuff & aim for 3hr 15 tomorrow morning so....thanks!!!

[*happy*]

back again...so i pushed the first am A to 3h 15 but ended up with a 40 min nap?woke crying & i couldn't resettle (i never can!)do i try it again tomorrow?our am naps used to be the foolproof ones!!!!how am i managing to mess that one up?!

[ZacsMumme]

Teething? How long has he been on a 3 hr A time?
Any developmental milestones? Trying to crawl etc?

[*happy*]

yes to teething....i think!!!zero interest in crawling!!!on the 3hr A time for a couple of weeks now i think....baby brain sorry...cant quite remember!

[ZacsMumme]

Ok, my bet is maybe these teeth are causing a bit of havoc. I would keep the A times as is and try medicating before the nap to see if that helps. What do you think?

[*happy*]

so keep them at 3hr or 3hr 15?think she's able for the 3hr 15 TBH coz after that this mornign,she woke at 40 mins but just couldnt resettle herself...had big red cheeks when i went up to her,poor pet.she's in flying form during the day though which confuses me....can the teething get worse at sleep time?

[ZacsMumme]

Your now what, if your getting the same length naps on both (prod dueto teething) I would keep the A times at 3 hrs, and do EBT as her sleep will be less settled prob making her a bit OT

Z sleep always suffers when teething, it's like any aches and pains really, worse when your lying down trying to rest.
