Should I start moving towards a four hour in the near future and how? Ella will be 13 weeks on Monday, some of her naps are becoming 45 minutes, some are still 1.5-2 hours. She is able to stay up 1-1.15 max. Here's the schedule
7:30am wake and eat
8:30 wind down and to sleep within 5 minutes (sits in bed chewing on hands, not sure how long?) This nap is the most often 45 minutes
10:30am wake or if has been up, feed her
11am wind down and to sleep in room (this is usually the best nap)
1:30pm wake and eat
2pm wind down and to sleep (sometimes shortenend, sometimes not)
4:30pm wake and eat
5:20 catnap for 20-30mins
5;50 cluster feed
6:00pm change, bath, hair wash,sing
6:25pm get ready for bed,
6:30pm feed before bed, off to sleep
1.My cluster feeding seems to work in the evening, she typically only wakes 1x per night to eat. Is this too close together
2.No df as it hasn't worked well in the past to keep her going through the night.
3. Will her awake time get longer eventually so I can transition or should I work towards it now with a lightfeed at the end of activity.
4.She doesn't have a dummy, I am finding extending naps IMPOSSIBLE, shh/pat, reassurance, etc.
Please help me understand what I should do and if I can tweak anything to make it better.
