Ha ha my DH still says that now!! Hence why I'm always on here as he's bored of listening to me lol
That's amazing the nap lengthened. Brilliant. I'd hold onto that nap for dear life so yep, I'd try adding on maybe 5 mins the first day, see how it goes then maybe another 5 the next day and hold for another few days.
Right, so we do know she's capable of longer naps don't we, we just need to sort this out for you. I think you're right, she'll be getting OT by the end of the day hence the short A times.
Did you try the w2s hun? The A times must be about right before the second nap so I think w2s could really help.
We never used a swaddle as DD was born during a crazy heat wave here, but there's loads of old posts on the props board where people have asked how to wean the swaddle. You could well try leaving an arm out and seeing if that helps her find her thumb or fingers?
Now wrt the getting out of bed. Tracy believed time awake as A time. I'm not ever going to go against her but I used to count that as downtime and they're not really getting much stimulation are they? I used to go from when she got out of bed but she was around 6mo then. What are you doing atm? If you're counting it from when she's getting out of bed she might be having a slightly longer A time than we think and might help us work out the rest of the day for you?
What did you do that morning if I may ask and how long was the nap? Xx
