Crying before sleep today

[Chloevalentine]

I did bath at 630 pjs bottle and asleep by 7. We will see wgat time he wakes I'm morning. Just hope it's not another day where he wakes hysterical from his 1 hr nap. I'm not sure wgat else to do or why he's waking so upset And takes him so long to calm down.

He was up today again at 640! How do I get him back to that schedule of wake at 730 nap 1230-230 bed 730? Should I try to do nap later today at 1230 and hope he takes a good one and do bedtime at 730?  Although I have already tried this and I still keep getting the 1 hr 1.5 hr nap and early waking in morning. Help I'm stuck!

Ok so today he went down for nap at 1215 and woke at 130. He will only sleep as long as 1 hr 15 mins but he didn't wake upset which is good. What should i do for bedtime?

So he's going to bed by 6:30/7 ish and up at 6:40? Is he sttn or having nw? Might be a case of slowly moving bedtime where you want it or if his body clock is set for that pattern to just go with it.

But he was waking at 730 doibg a 2 hr nap from 1230-230 and going to bed at 730/8. Now he only naps about 1 hr 15 mins and keep waking earlier in am. Today he was up at 615 after going to bed at 745 last night. I don't know what's going on. He's all over the place! Not sure wgat time to give him lunch and nap today being that he was up so early at 615!

[Chloevalentine]

So I'm getting a 1 hr 15 min nap now for days no matter wgat time he goes down for nap! Help. And early waking every morning earlier and earlier. Is he ot? He was up from nap at 215 today wheh should I put him to bed? Last night I did 730 which is the time he normally would go to bed he fell asleep at 745 but was up this morning at 615! Any advice

630 bedtime ? Help

Sorry hon, I only get on bw to reply to posts at night! So totally too late but tbh my 12 month old would never do bedtime with 4 hrs A after even an hour nap (she is weirdly low sleep needs though). Just out of curiosity how has been sleep wise all along - low/avg/high?

I put him to bed at 645 he was asleep by 650. He always does a 12 hr night and for a month now he was doing a 1 hr 45-2 hr nap and hasn't woke befire 7 in a long time. So this 1 hr 15 min nap where he wakes crying and upset for an hour afterwards and waking earlier every day only doibg about 10.5 hrs sleep is not like him. I'm thinking maybe he's ot. Why ejse would he wake at 1 hr 15 mins everyday and wake earlier every morning? He just had 4 molars come through

Well teeth can certainly throw things off! Growth spurts too.  There does come a point though where constantly tweaking and moving naps/bedtimes about is not worth it and sticking with (mostly) set times works better unless something like illness happens. Kind ofhave to ride those tough times out until he is back to normal (lol though tbh not sure if things ever are "normal" at all but just constant change!).

[Chloevalentine]

But why such a change in wake time in morning and short naps and waking up upset ? How can he go from 14 hrs sleep to 11.5? So if he wakes early again tomorrow say 630 when do I do lunch and nap ? I was doing 5 hrs A time befire nap which would mean lunch at 11 nsp at 1130 which is way too early especially if he's doing the 1 hr 15 min nap then he will be up from nap at 1245 and then when would bt be? Ugh this is hard

[MasynSpencerElliotte]

Does he respond to any ap at all? Just thinking if you need to catch him up from ot if that would work short term? Wake to sleep to try and extend the nap?

[Chloevalentine]

He went to ned at 645 last night and woke at 7 today instead of 615 which was good. Odd how puttibg to bed earlier can make them sleep later but his nap was still only 1 hr 15 mins from 1215-130! What's with that time ? He used to do 2 hrs!!

[Chloevalentine]

Is 1 hr 15 min nap waking crying ot? Should I be doing EBT?

[MasynSpencerElliotte]

It could be ot or just teeth/developmental. You know him best, do you think ebt will help or is a shorter nap his new normal?
