Just looking for some quick advice - apologies if all the answers I'm looking for are in here somewhere.
DD is 5.5 mths old.
She has 3 naps, but sometimes the 2nd nap is just about long and late enough to make it to an acceptable bedtime. I often end up with the dilemma of whether to have a late catnap - ie. 6:30-7:00 ish, or just push thru to bedtime.
Here's our typical day.
9:00 awake and E
A: 9-10:45
S: 10:45-12:45, E
A: 12:45 - 3:00
S: 3:00 - 5:00, E
S: 6:30-7:00, E. - but, might fail because not really really ready for it.
(if any later though, delays bedtime)
if naps:
8:00 - E and to bed.
11:00 - Dreamfeed
usually sleeps through.
is doesn't catnap,
then, cranky at 6:30, hurry through "life" with other 2 kids,
6:45 or 7:00, feed and to sleep.
So either way, baby copes OK. Ideally I'd prefer ditching nap #3 and having an earlier bedtime, but don't want to mess our pretty good routine up and end up with OT because of no nap #3.
opinions?
