Back to three naps a day - 10 months old
« on: September 07, 2005, 13:10:40 pm »
Dear all,
I don't know what to do with my 10 month old ds, but he hasn't been well for over a week (cold) and now he won't nap longer that 1h15 during the day - and that's his long one  :( .  He used to take a short nap in morning and a long one over lunchtime but now still takes a short am nap (30-60m) but the lunchtime one he wakes after 1h15.  He's not crying when he wakes which is confusing but I know it's not enough as he now has to have a late afternoon nap (which he doesn't like taking when we're in the house but will nap in car/pram if we're out).
I took him swimming this morning and he's usually exhausted after this but still just 1h15 for the nap.  He now appears to be in the habit of 1h15.  What is a 1h15 nap anyway, I thought sleep cycles were in 45 ?
I think the lack of day sleep is causing him to wake earlier in morning.  Does anyone else notice this link?
Any suggestions on what I can do.

Sleep begets sleep!  Yes, I've noticed that when my lo sleeps better for one nap, it helps the next nap, and so on...  And she also sometimes sleeps for 1 hr 15!  :roll:

Could you maybe post his schedule for the day - see if anything comes to mind?
