Hi! I am looking for some help yet again. My DD is 7.5month old now and I am struggling with her EASY these days. Her first A time is 3h45m, and her second A time is 3h30m to 3h40m, which pushes her BT very late. Here is our typical EASY at the moment
WU 7
E/breakfast 8.30ish
A 3h45m ish
S 10.45 - 12ish (only gives me just over an hour nap; though extending A time to 4h gives me an OT nap).
E/lunch 13ish
A 3h30m to 3h40m
S 15.40 - .... this is where my problem starts. If she sleeps for over an hour, she is up at about 17ish, meaning that her BT comes after 20.00 as she's well rested after this sort of nap. If she sleeps less than an hour than I can settle her at about 19-19.30, which what I would like to aim for.
Could you please tell me what I should aim for in terms of her naps? Should I cap her second nap at say 50m? Is it a sign of transition of 2to1? It sounds too early but she can definetely do 3h45m if I want a decent nap. At the same time just over 2h napping during the day seems too low for a 7.5month old. I'm confused and not sure what to do with her second nap. It also afects her BF as it seems too long in between her feeds (5+h)
Any idea?
