Hello,
I have posted already in the PU/PD forum and got great support. We are weaning our 7.5 months daughter from being rocked to sleep. She has never been an independent sleeper and she is still far from it. It works a lot better for bedtime when my husband brings her to bed. She can then fall asleep in the cot, still with support. However it does not work for the day naps. Therefore I am wondering if it is me, if she is OT or UT or whatever. After BT she usually wakes up after 2.5hrs and then later on every 2.5-3 hrs. Currently she is a lot more restless and fuzzy during day and night, maybe teething or learning a lot new motor skills.
The day naps are either 40 min or 1.5hr and sometimes a CN. To get a 1.5hr nap I BF in-between or she is the pram. I increased A time to almost 3hrs but it did not change the nap length, well I started 2 days ago. And it was very hard for her to fall asleep. The best A time for her to fall asleep was often 1.5 hr in the morning, so therefore I am afraid that 3hrs are OT and she cannot settle herself. She rubs her eyes after 2hrs.
Here are the last 2 days:
