Hi, I'm back.
Dache...glad to know that LO has learned to replug her paci.

i hope things are better. I remember when LO discovered his thumb, he would fall asleep easier.
As for me, I think LO is undergoing some changes in his routine again. I thought we finally had it down and then BAM...change again. Yesterday was a little rough for his first nap. He woke up at 6:15am (yay!) instead of 5:30am. So I figured that I would put him down for his first nap at 10:15am. LO had a total meltdown at 10am and he could not settle himself to sleep. So I stayed beside his crib until he fell asleep and I was able to sneak out. So maybe I waited too long? Today, LO woke up at 6:08am. My plan was to put him down at 10am for his nap. We drove hubby to work and LO was yawning the entire time. At around 9:15am, he slept in the carseat for about a minute until I woke him up. I kept everything low-key so he can make it to his first nap. I was able to put him down in his crib at 9:55am. He was yawning the entire wind down time. The moment I shut off the lights and left the room, LO started playing and pulling himself up. I saw it on the video monitor. He finally slept at 10:15am. SIGH! Does that mean I put him down too early? Could it be developmental and he was just trying out his pulling up skills?
His EASY from the past two days...
6-6:15am awake (he normally wakes up at 5:30-5:45am)
E
A
S 10-11:30 (I would cap at 1hr and 45 mins if he was particularly tired)
E
A
S 2:45-3:30 (he usually wakes up on his own)
E
A
S crib by 6:45pm, usually asleep by 7pm.
Should I push the first A time some more? If he wakes up at 5:30am, his first nap is still at 10am. I've been so used to the early wake up that I don't know what to do anymore when he wakes up at 6am. Lol!
Ali? You mentioned that your LO had a similar EASY, when did your LO transition to one nap? At what point did you start pushing the first nap? Sorry too many questions!
