Carina is just a couple weeks shy of a year old. She sometimes sleeps through the night, but lately she wakes up at 5 a.m. and just cries and cries. I can't get her back to sleep (with rocking or pacing). So we basically get up for the day. She then is a little fussy all morning until her a.m. nap, but she stops all out crying as soon as we leave the room or turn on the lights.
Our "routine" is generally all over the map. Today we:
5 a.m. woke up --and stayed up despite trying for an hour to get her back to sleep
6 a.m. bf (not exceptionally hungry)
8 a.m. breakfast
8:30-11:00 nap
11:00 bf
12:00 lunch
3:00-4:00 nap
4:00 bf
5:30 dinner
8:00 bath, bf, books, bed
8:00 bed (usually we try for 7:30 and she was very tired tonight, but we were out)
Any advice?? Yesterday was similar--very long 3 hour morning nap, only 10 minutes in afternoon...
