Hello! I'm new here but have found a ton of useful info from all the moms and dads here. I have a question about my 9 month old. He's a super sensitive sleeper. He can fall asleep on his own for nights. For naps, he's being patted to sleep but even before our vacation/teething interruptions, he still woke up mid nap and sometimes would go back to sleep on his own and sometimes wouldn't. He HAS taken an hour plus nap before but the wake time has to be just right! I think he's ready for some more wake time but am wondering how I should push it? Here's his schedule in general.
6:30 - wake up, bottle, play, solids
9:10- 11:00 - nap 1 (37 min. And I spent some time getting him to go back to sleep)
Actual time asleep was 37m + 40m
11:00 - wake up, bottle solids, play
2:15 -4:00- nap 2 (31 m, spent time putting him back to sleep)
Actual time asleep was 31m + 42m + 30m)
4:00 - wake up, bottle, play, dinner, bath, bedtime routine
7:15/7:30- bedtime
Id say about 30-60 min. A day is getting this guy To go back to sleep. I think he might be able to do a long morning awake time since he woke up at 37 m and it tooke awhile to get him
Back to sleep. Should I only push the first wake time by 10 min and then hold the 2nd nap around 3 h or 3h15m? Then keep doing this till his firss nap lengthens and then start pushing the 2nd and 3rd? Or do I push all waketimes and then do an early bedtime if OT?
Thanks and bless you if you read this whole thing!
