Hi there.
So the things weren't going too good since that amazing 12hr night. Two days in a row DD is having a 10hr nights. Maybe she is up even earlier only she is laying vary quiet and I'm sleeping myself and can't hear her. I kept waking her at 1.5hrs during the nap and she seems very tired and cranky, clingy to me, not a happy camper when I wake her. Yesterday she was extremely hyper before dinner so we thought she is OT for sure but she calmed down after dinner so maybe she was just hungry. It is also hard for us to tell if she is OT or UT before bed but I've been puting her in the crib at 7/7:10pm instead of 7:20/7:30, and she's been taking 30m to fall asleep which is better then 40/50m.
When she wakes up in the morning she is just waiting patiently for me to come get her. We only had few days when she called for me and that was a while ago. I went in to her to tell her that the sun is not up and it's time to sleep but she never returned to sleep. Also she usually has a bowel movement when she wakes up so unless her routine was perfect for her on the previous day, and she is able to sleep longer, she will have a bowel movement and will not resettle. To change I need some kind of a light source and that for sure will signal a wake up time to her.
I'm not sure if her nap is too short or too long for her still, and I'm afraid to cut it even shorter because of how she is acting after the nap. I feel like OT is accumulating again. What do you ladies think? Thanks a lot.
