Hi ladies,
That sounds great, Lauren! We had 6.45pm-6am. He wanted feeding immediately, too. None of this diaper-changing nonsense.
Kate -- for the later A times, I normally take Theron into his room at about 1 hour 50, and tone things down. I close the drapes and have a lamp on, and we read several books. Depending on how much more I think he can take, I undress him down to his onesie and play with him on the floor; he rolls around looking at his aquarium, and plays with his feet. Once I think that he's really ready for bed (about 2 hours 20 right now), I put him on the diaper table and put his pj bottoms on, turn off the lamp, put some orajel on his gums, take him over to the crib while singing Twinkle Twinkle, and put him down. Sometimes it's five minutes till he's out. Yesterday it was 50 minutes, taking us to 3 hours A time (and only a 50 minutes nap!). There's always some raspberry blowing, gurgling, playing with his lovie, slamming feet, and sometimes some protest "are-you-coming-back-or-not" fussing.
It always surprises me that he can be rubbing his eyes out and yawning his head off, yet I put him down, and he'll keep himself awake for another half hour or so. Fingers crossed that he is extending his A time naturally!
