Thank you both for your replies! This week we've had three what I would call unusual and bad nights. First two nights there were 2 wakings, one at 10pm and one at 2:30am both of which required intervention. 10pm ones were relatively easy to get through, the 2:30am ones lasted 2.5-3 hrs during which dd cried hard, did not want to be held, did not want to be put down. I just didn't know what to do. Last night she woke up and cried 4 times, 9pm, 10pm, 1am, and 3am. I had to go in at 10pm and 1am, both times she started pushing me away as soon as I got near the crib so I just put her face down on the mattress (her preferred sleep position) and started rubbing her back and that seemed to do the trick. Prior to being sick the week prior, and this past week, we've probably gone 4-5 months straight where we never needed to go in because even if she woke she would mantra cry, play or coo and put herself back to sleep.
Our regular schedule is as follows:
5:30-6:00am Awake
6:45am Breakfast solids + milk
9:00am 1st nap (w/ mom & dad on weekends typically 30-45 minutes, during the week with nanny 75 min - go figure)
10:00-10:30ish Snack
12:00pm Lunch solids + milk
1:30pm 2nd nap ((w/ mom & dad on weekends typically 30-45 minutes, during the week with nanny 75 min)
2:30-3:00ish Snack
5:15pm Dinner solids
5:45pm Bath
6:00pm Bottle
6:30pm Asleep
And a clarification on the naps. They have always been short, started with the 20 min naps when she was 3 weeks old, went through a few weeks of lengthened naps, but reverted back to 45min naps, kind of hung in there with the various methods of trying to extend naps until 6 months old, and finally decided at that point that was it, and gave into the 30 min naps. Around 9 months, grandma came to stay with us and miraculously naps started lengthening, but remained 30-45 min on the weekends or on any day that I'm home (I'm wondering if grandma can't tell when she's really asleep). Night sleep has always been better for lo.
Any insight and advice is apprecited! Thanks!
