Hi - well, yesterday I tried what you suggested and here's what happened:
Went down for nap at 9:30am (instead of 9)
Woke up at 10:00am
A until 2:00pm (was grumpier than usual)
Slept until 3:30 (woke once but put herself to sleep)
A until 7:15pm (was grumpier than usual)
Woke up this moring at 6:00am (instead of 6:30am)
I think she was tired all day . . .she usually doesn't whine but she did several times yesterday. She is 7 months and is only getting about about 13 hours of sleep a day . . . is that enough?
How do I know when to push the nap longer (PU/PD) or if I should get her up? She is so hard to read when she wakes up from naps because usually she is crying. Does that mean she is tired and I should keep PU/PD to extend the nap? I really appreciate your help and suggestions - I could use the support after 2 weeks of 1+plus PU/PD sessions!
Thanks.
