Ew 13 m
« on: April 20, 2017, 03:28:42 am »
I've been here before a lot for the same problem so I think I know what you are going to say. LO is waking up at 4 or if we are lucky 5 and if there's any way to change it we would all be better off. Schedule:

4 daddy sometimes able to settle till 5
5 Wu
6:30 bf
7 breakfast
9 s
10:30/11 Wu & snack
12:30 lunch
2/3 nap 1 hr snack
5 dinner
6 bath
6:30 bf
7 asleep

He goes down without a fuss, just walk in paci a kiss and bye bye. I've been trying to drop the bf to morning and night only, but I do usually give him probably one bf during the day sometime. He's also doing a bit of nw but I think that's a separate issue. I'm wondering if I should be stretching his a time even more. I'm guessing he's doing some of his nighttime sleep in at 9am. (Occasionally he gets woken early then he'll just do a long nap later.)

Hi, yes I think you've answered your own question, that first nap is too early or too long at that time of day.
My DS2 is 14 months and does either 1 nap 12-2 or 20 mins 9.30am then 1.5 hours at 1pm.

I'd either push that first nap to 10am and let it be the long one and then pop a 30 min CN in around 3pm or similar to my day.

Thanks Zoe... It's a little bit of an administrative problem too... His brother needs to be at school at 9... so I put LO down at 8:50.. I'll try taking him in the car and keeping him awake... but makes driving dangerous and it's a drag at school to have two or one asleep  ::) Also not far enough away for a CN in the car 10mins too short!!!

Yes! On the way home is fine because I can transfer him to cot for a little more too. (it's only a 10 min drive max) Ya, I open and close the window and call to him, but he just loves sleeping in the car and cries and cries when I won't let him poor boy. I'll for sure try making the morning sleep shorter and pushing it later - then long nap later - always keen to have naps overlap and then he can sleep with brother after school and lunch.

Good luck I know where your coming from mine will nod off in the car in a second ha ha.

It might just come right in a month or so as mine seems to handle the longer A time so much better all of a sudden x

I have had success keeping him awake in the car 9:20 or 9:30, but he still wants to sleep 2 hrs in the am.

It's only been two days, so obviously no change, but do you think I should cut down day time sleep and start waking him up from naps? maybe Limit total naps to 2hr (slowly), rather than the min 3 hr he wants? Hoping he transfers an hour to the night sleep?

He is only doing 13 hrs total sleep so I am loathe to do this incase he ends up with less.

Lol well good plan. I guess you need to consider pushing that nap later if you want it to be the main nap x

I don't actually want it to be the main nap, LO#1 sleeps 2hr at 1 /1:30. But the there's not enough awake time between 11 and 1:30 if he sleeps at 10, and that's 5 hrs awake time from 5-10am, though obviously the idea is he starts waking at 6... still I don't think he could make 5 hours?!

I'd give him 30 mins at 9.30 then and he should be ready by 12.45/1pm to long nap x

30 not 45?

He was up at 4 this morning, DH managed to get him to go back to sleep 4:30... and then awake from 5:15  ::)

I have been keeping him awake till 9:30 - we made it to 9:40 and I was planning on catching some sleep with him now, but I will wake him after 45 (It's a cycle right?)

Thanks again Zoe.
