ugh is this easy a mess or what!
« on: April 21, 2014, 20:56:29 pm »
I posted in n forum as ds was having huuuge long 3hr nws. Now not so much so it might be an easy issue.. duh of course it is!
Any eyes see what I need to do here or have any btdt?
Saturday... after hopeless day out and about with no real easy...
Bt 7.50pm
Nf 10.50pm nw for 1hr
Nf 3.30am for 45min
Wu sunday 6.45am
First a 2hr 5min
Nap 1: 8.50am 40min
Second a 1hr 45min
Nap 2: 11.15am 40min
Third a 1hr 30min
Nap 3: 1.25pm 3hr 30min (prob should have waken earlier but let ds sleep)
Bt 8.20pm (started wd at 6.20pm but ds wouldn't settle, I guess ut?) Had to apop bf to sleep so last a was 3hr 25min.... eek
Nf 1.10am for 1hr
Nf 5.05am for 40min then wouldn't settle so it became an ew Monday. 
Monday nap 1: 8.45am 35min (had tried to pd at 7.10am and 8.15am but dd ruined any attempt to get ds to sleepFirst a was 3hr 40min unfortunately
Second a was 2hrs
Nap 2: 11.20am 30min
Third a was 1hr 50min
Nap 3: 1.40pm to 5.05pm (3hr 25min nap - didn't have the heart to wake him..)
Bt at 9.25pm, I tried to pd from 7.15pm but he wasn't cooperating!
Nws then at 11.55pm, 3.15am and ew at 6.10am. Nfs were 15min and 70min long!!!
Gosh so bf is always on wu and after naps. A few times this week I have tried to apop feed to sleep naps but I was desperate and most of the time it doesn't even work or takes aaaages.
So is that mega pm nap stuffing us up? Should I cap? Any thoughts?

Looks like you've just gone off track due to days out and disturbance when you are putting him down. is that right?

I don't know... the day we were out it was just to grandmas house and he did have a 1.5hr am nap then naps on me all day so more sleep than his total yesterday of 1h15min for the whole day! So we have had 3 days at home and haven't gone anywhere so hopefully today is better...

Is your first A typically about 2h long?  That's on the high side for his age and I wonder if that's setting the day up wrong from the start for you?  In fact most of the A times you posted are reasonably high, even after short naps.  Perhaps you need to try putting down a touch earlier for naps?  (Though saying this from the point of view of someone who had very similar-looking days at that age ::) ) it could also be a touch of the short-nap phase kicking in......hugs hun, frustrating I know but not all babies will have that textbook EASY at this stage.  DD certainly didn't!

Thanks Katherine. I pd by 1h30min where I can, but he often takes ages to settle with ssh pat or dd ruins the pd and comes in and yells and climbs on ds' cot! So it is a real pain... and very frustrating. Dd is at daycare tomorrow so I will keep working on the shorter a times.
Today I took him out and he did a good nap when I went shopping and then a shorter one I had to wake him when I'd finished getting groceries then a 2h nap after about 1h45min a.
