Hi,
I'm new to the board and i'm looking for some reassurance...!
I have a 9 week old DD who is generally a pretty easy baby. I like what i've read about EASY and it does seem to fit in with what i've been doing naturally anyway.
DD sleeps from 7 til 7 and only wakes once during the night now (not including dream feeding). She hardly ever cries - just a couple of seconds if i'm not quick enough with her bottle!
Her naps vary in length between 45 mins and 2 hours. She only has two a day - one in the morning and one at lunchtime - and then generally a catnap whilst we're out in the car or buggy in the afternoon. My question is this - given that the night times are going fine and she doesn't seem to get over tired, should i not worry about trying to standardise her nap lengths? She does sometimes wake at the 45 mins mark but at other times will happily sleep past it without any intervention from me. Is the fact that she does sometimes wake up at 45 mins a warning that trouble is coming? Also, i read that if a baby wakes up crying then they're still tired. So how do you know when the nap has truly finished or whether to let them get themselves back off to sleep?
Sorry - too many questions in one go...
Thanks a lot.
