Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me please?
I recently posted on the nap forum as I really needed the routine tweaking for my near-8-month old. Tinkerbell99 was very helpful and I think we're finally in a nap routine that works, but now I'm getting 5am EW every morning
Our new routine looks like this:
Wu 5am chatting, blowing raspberries, moving around. I don't go in unless she's crying as that excites her more.
Get up 6.30
Bottle 7 4oz
Breakfast 8.30
1st nap 9.15-10 (I'm trying to move this to 9.30, but with the EW it's just impossible at the moment)
Bottle 6oz 11
Lunch 12.30
Sleep 1.30-3
Bottle 6oz 3
Dinner 5
Bath 6.10
Bottle 4oz 6.25
Bed and asleep by 6.40
DF 10.15 max 5oz (phasing this out gradually.. Moved from 11-10.15 and reduced amount in bottle)
Extra info...DD is teething at the moment but doesn't seem to be in too much discomfort. She is desperately trying to crawl and I think she might have it mastered in the next week or so.
She doesn't wake to eat and is happy to wait until 7 for her bottle most mornings. I have tried an early bedtime at 6, but she still wakes at 5!
I'm happy with the 1st 45 mins nap as it encourages her to take a longer nap in the afternoon. She's only ever taken 45-mins naps since she was 3months old. So happy we have a longer one in the afternoon thanks to Tinkerbell99's help.
I have looked over lots of historical posts about EW at this age and haven't found a solution, so was wondering if anyone has any ideas? Any help would be most gratefully appreciated! I'm at my wits end with these EW!
