Hi ladies
this is the first time i have posted although i always read through the posts but now i really need some help
my little boy Arjun is 9months and 2 weeks old
he previously slept like a dream, 7-7 at night and took 3 wonderful naps
he had started fighting his catnap so i dropped it!this a few months ago but he has started taking short naps now
in the morning he sleep okish for 30-45mins, its the afternoon one that has me stumped
i have to pick up my older son from school at 3.30 and leave the house at 3, so i would like for Arjun to sleep at 12.30ish for 2 hours, which then gives me time to give him his bottle before we leave for the school run
he goes down fine, but is waking anywhere between 30mins to an hour later and wont go back to sleep. i have tried pupd, but this rattles his case so usually its pat ssh etc
now..if he wakes at 1.30 he is obviously ready for bed no later than 6.30, i've tried and it eneds up in tears, but then he is also now waking up anywhere between 5 and 6, usually 5
he goes down for his first nap at 9ish whatever time he wakes as i try and stick to the schedule,then his 2nd nap at 12.15 to 12.30
if i leave it any later then i'm worried if he wants to sleep longer he wont be able to as i will have to wake him
i am really at a loss what to do
he is a reflux baby too so is grouchy anyway:o)
any advice would be greatly appreciated
