HI kelseylea
Thanks for posting your routine, here is the routine we followed at 8weeks.
(based on one day)
W 0730
E 0800A 00830
S 0900 - 1.5hr
A 1030
E 1100A 1130
S 1200 - 2hr
E 1400A 1430
S 1530 - 1.5hr
A 1700
E 1800A 1815
S 1915 - 30min
E 1945A 2000 - bath
E 2015
S 2100
E 0345
As we went on and got more in control the bedtime got closer to 8pm. Ideally though, the S at 1915 SHOULD have been his bedtime and he was going to bed to late. I remember dreading the time times, because we were constantly doing something for Calum, i.e. feeding, bathing and we never had a night to ourselves - I hadn't found the site at that time, just read the 2 books. It also looks like he could stay awake 90min between naps.
This is the example routine in the book;
E 7am
A 7.30am (inc. a 10 - 15min at the end of this 'A' time for wind down for nap)*
S 8.30 - 1.5hr shorter and you haven't been able to extend then you would do EASA
E 10am
A 10.30am (inc. a 10 - 10min at the end of this 'A' time for wind down for nap)*
S 11.30 - 1.5hr shorter and you haven't been able to extend then you would do EASA
E 1300
A 1330 (inc. a 10 - 10min at the end of this 'A' time for wind down for nap)*
S 1430 - 1.5hr shorter and you haven't been able to extend then you would do EASA
E 1600
A 1630
S 1730 - catnap only 30 - 45mins
E 1900 & bath or vice versa or E 1800 & 2000 with bath in the middle (clusterfeeding)
S 1930 S 2030
DF between 10 -11
https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=54662.0The 'A' times in the 2nd example routine are not for any set age and are just an indication of what the routine could look like. For example, If your LO can only stay awake 1hr (inc feed) then you would need to bring forward the 'S' time and have a shorter 'A' time - your wind down should take place at the later end of your 'A' time (hope I am not making this confusing). If you LO can stay awake longer than one hour you use the 'A' time that is given as an example above as a guide.
You will find that your 1st short nap is because your Lo is way overtired, 0930 is too late to put your LO down. So I think what you should put your LO down earlier for her naps so she is not overtired and 'fighting" sleep.
