Hi all,
DS2 is now nearly 9 months and for the past 3 weeks or so our naps have completely wonky and I'm so unsure as to what to do.
Before our EASY looked like this:
Wake: 7:30
E: 7:45 (solids)
A:
E: 10:00 (8oz bottle)
S: 11:00
Wake: 12noon
E: Solids
A:
E: 8oz bottle
S: 2:30-3:00ish depending on how tired he was
Wake: 4:30
E: Solids
A:
E: 7:15 (8oz bottle)
Bed: 7:30
But he started to wake up early from his PM nap, sometimes I could resettle sometimes not. But the past week he is now waking early from all his naps and I cannot resettle him for any of them. He's also full of a snotty cold which is not helping.
When he wakes up he initially he does cry which makes me think he is overtired but although sometimes I can calm him down enough for him to settle down he doesn't go back off to sleep which makes me think under tired (so confused).
Our nights are OK, he does wake but will usually resettle himself pretty quickly without any intervention on mine or the OHs part, except the early part of the night when we usually spend the first 3 hours or so tag teaming each other to go and resettle him (again not sure if under tired or overtired).
He self settles for naps and bedtime really easily (such a relief after DS1) and has a story, little singing and the then into his cot. He has a dummy but I let him find it himself I don't give it to him.
I just don't know what to do about his naps, I'm exhausted from running up and down stairs as have a 3 year old to worry about to.
Any help/advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
