30-35min naps on same A where he used to do 1.5hrs??

[Skadiver13]

Hi all, i'm so sory I'm ALL over these boards lately. We've been tackling feeding issues, EW/NW issues. We have gotten the EW/NW plan down to do W2S but now we're having nap issues. I just dont' know what to do with my littl emunchkin. We've been on a 3hr 30min A for about 3 weeks. He was doing mostly 1.5hr naps with the occasional 2hr or the occasional 1hr 23min nap but mostly good. Past 3 days (we're on day 4) he's been waking at 30/35min. He even woke at 28min. I reduced the A to 3hrs 15min and he still woke. Sometimes he wakes crying but mostly his head pops up and he pushes up and starts rolling around the crib. After a while he'll start crying if I don't come in. If I DO come in and try shush/pat he starts crying. Sometimes I can get him back to sleep but lately not.  Not sure what this is. I think he's teething but I've tried meds and they didn't work he sill woke.

wake once to eat
wakes Habitually at 5, resettle
Wake 5:45/6 for the day

Past 3 days he's been waking early from his naps so thrown the whole day off. My husband put him down at 9:27am this morning and he went down fine woke at 10. My husband rarely cares for LO so he jsut gave up trying to put him back to sleep and got him up. I can't blame him as he's really not aware of how to get him back to sleep.

Any ideas?

Hi

What meds have u tried for teething? Ibuprofen works much quicker and lasts longer. You give about 20 min before nap.

Your lo does sound ot. could it have accumulated due to the nw/EW? How long have u tried to decrease a times for? It could take lo a few days to get over the OT...so if you decrease to 3h15 and hold for a few days you may see a difference. If you start getting UT 45min naps you'll know it's not a routine related issue....?wdyt?

Maybe try teething meds if u haven't already before messing with a times? Hth

I tried both tylenol and IBprofuen. It could be OS too. So I'll try meds AND reducing stimuli first before touching his A time.

Could it be down to a wonder week developmental leap as know our LO are same age and there is a leap starting 33 weeks to 37 weeks ish!! 

Not that I know anything but I just came across the wonder weeks app!

Who knows .

Thanks haribo! All advice is welcome. None of us are experts just mums who may have btdt and are learning our way still, always

Wonder weeks can def affect sleep as can developmental milestones, gs, teething, OS, UT, OT and pretty much anything else lol

See how u get on with less stimulation and maybe a longer wd? And we can reasses...

Thanks all. I dont think its OT. He did 3hrs 30min A and did 1hr 20min. With less stimuli. So its quite possible its OS AND developmental as well. Thank you for all your advice. Will update over the next couple days.
