If they only nap 45 minutes...
« on: January 22, 2006, 19:06:14 pm »
Then what do you do on a 4 hour schedule?  If DD only naps 45 mins then when she wakes and wants to eat it's only been 3 hours, not 4.  Then I'm stuck in a 3 hour schedule.  Help!!

Ok, I'm sure we can help.  First, how old is your dd?  Second, can you give me a what a typical day looks like?

Yikes!  I just saw this reply
DD is 6 mos...schedule is:

6:30 or 7 wake and eat
7:15-8:30 or 9:00 (depending on wake time) A
9:00-9:40 or 10:00 sleep
10:00 eat and we go on a 3-4 hr schedule from there depending on the nap.  We also cluster feed in the evening and dream feed at 10:30 or so.  She sleeps through the night.  She also goes down for naps no prob...just doesn't stay down.  We tried 10 days of PU/PD and shh/pt after waking and it did nothing....
Thanks again

Same problem here - our daughter is almost 5 months old. She has never taken naps for more then 30 minutes.

Hello...

A quick couple of answers...if she is only sleeping 45 minutes but is actually hungry at 3 hrs, then I would feed her.  Otherwise, it is perfectly ok to feed before a nap as long as she is put down awake.  When they take short naps...you tweak EASY to work for you.  Feed before nap like previously mentioned or take 2 naps in between feeds.  This might put 4+ hours (I wouldn't let it go longer than 5) but that's ok too.

As far as the pu/pd goes...it took 3 weeks with my 4 mos old son.  It was exhausting, but he's an AWESOME sleeper now.  So worth it!!  :)
