What should my easy look like for 10 month old

[*Ali*]

Maybe he just needs his naps later in the day so he can make a later BT without getting OT.

He is doing 3.5 hrs A time though in between each nsp and befire bed and he's doesn't seem ot at all before bed.

[*Ali*]

I'd push the first A a tad then.

Ok I'll give it a shot. Today he took two 30 min naps and woke up crying and he's been cranky all adteenoon I'm sure he's tired. He woke at 5 this morning crying where I had to go in to resettle him a few times which he never does and then slept until 7. There's no way he can make it until 7 tonight. Hes been up since 245. Should I try for a 6 pm bedtome? It's so early but I'm not sure what ejse to do.

Yes I imagine he would be tired after two short naps. Yes I would do an EBT at 6pm.

For the past few nights when my husband feeds him his bottle at bedtime when he's done with bottle he starts crying and I have to come in to calm him and he fights going to bed. What coukd be going on? Does he just want me?

[*Ali*]

Yes it sounds like it. Is your husband putting m down new?

[Chloevalentine]

No we both take turns. For a while I thought he wasn't ready for bed but I'm not sure. What's typical A time before bed? He only takes a 30 min nap in afternoon and 1 hr in morbing

[Chloevalentine]

He also keeps waking up from afternoon catnap crying and then crying and fussy for a while

[*Ali*]

I'd say 3-3.5hrs after a short nap but I know others have said their LO needs a full A time of 4hrs after even a short nap.

I fed lo tonight before bed being that the past few nights he's been crying for my husband and usually we cuddle after he's done with bottle and he gets real sleepy or falls asleep but lately he's not so i put him in crib awake tonight and he rolled aroubd a little and sat up but then fell asleep.  I'm wondering if he just wants me at night. I put him in crib awake all the time for his nap so I know it's not that. And he's been so fussy lately crying a lot in the afternoon. Tonight be even cured during dinner . The only think different is we've cut a bottle but I'm still offering same amount of formula. Can't figure out his fussiness. Poor guy

Sounds like there may be some separation anxiety going on. Have a look at this FAQ. Separation Anxiety

I'm not suggesting you need to do WIWO since he is already self settling but just FYI and there are some other things to try during A time to help him.

[Chloevalentine]

Thank you for that info. He's also been waking up crying after his adteenoon 30 min catnap and then he will cry in and off all night. He seems tired. He has a clean diaper he's been fed but still seems uncomfortable in some way that I can't figure out. I've been given him Tylenol thinking maybe another tooth is coming but this doesn't seem to help his fussiness. He will be happy and playful one minute and crying the next whether I'm with him holding him or if he's playing alone. It's so frustrating that I can't figure out wgat it is.

I hope the teething is coming to an end and naps improving?

I had posted in bottle feeding because I've recently dropped his afternoon bottle the 3pm snd I'm wondering if that's causing the fussiness. I'm having a hard time figuring out a good feeding scheduke. I was giving him his second bottle when he wakes from second nap aroubd 11-1130 and lunch aroubd 1230 but then he doesn't get dinner until aroubd 430 and his last bottle befire bed around 630-7. I'm thinking maybe that's not working out and that's why he's fussy. Someone suggested his second bottle befire his afternoon nap around 2 instead of 1130 but that's the small window that I have to leave the house and he ajways falls asleep in the car. His naps are ajways an hour in am and 30 mins in pm I've tried to lengthen for months but no luck. He does a 12-12.5 hour day. What should his easy look like with 3 bottkes 3 feeds and 3.5 hrs A time?
