Need a new routine...!
« on: September 22, 2015, 08:44:37 am »
Hello again

Well if it's not one thing it's another, and our routine is completely messed up, again!
For example yesterday,
WU 8am
Nap 3:30-5:30
S 11 (he was awake in his cot messing around for ages,  I put him to bed at 10).

I am guessing his nap is too late? Or toon long? Or both?  :-X and his bedtime is late, and then he takes ages to fall asleep?

In case it helps he is gonna start nursery next week, 9 until 1.

Thanks in advance  :)

How old is he? The nap time does seem awful late, maybe try bringing it forward and cutting it a bit. Xx

That is a pretty late nap...even at 2.5/3 years old my middle DD napped just after lunch time (had a 7/7:30 am wake time) so with an 8 am wake up 3:30 is a 7.5 hour A time. Does nursery do set naptimez?

F course, sorry, he is 27mo.

In nursery he will come home for lunch/nap, I will pick him up at 1 (9 til 1, WU at 8 )

What routine do you suggest? Thanks. X

That sounds good, what I would suggest to start off and see how it goes for a few weeks.

Sounds good, thanks.
Can the nap be at 2, as we won't be back from nursery until 1:15ish then he needs to get changed and eat? If so, do I need a different BT? Thanks x

Ps, what do I do if he takes a while to fall asleep at BT, just stick with it and eventually he will sleep then? He is taking up to an hour to fall asleep at the mo.  :-\

yes of course it can be 2 - it needs to fit in with your life and routines  :), push the WU time back 30 mins too.

He is probably taking so long to fall asleep as he is UT. Cutting that nap shorter and making it earlier should help as he will have a longer A time to bed. If he is still taking an hour to go to sleep then maybe cut the nap back by 15mins?
