My son has been waking anywhere from 4:30-6:00 to wake. Every time he does, I check Carmela's monitor (we have one where we can see her) and she is awake!
She isn't talking just knotting up her hair or rolling around. It takes me 45 mins to feed the baby and get back into bed. When I do she is still awake. I fall back asleep as she is not crying and I don't hear her until 7:00-7:30ish! Now I have no clue if she falls back asleep or not but she does appear tired in the morning. She's not very cranky -- just tired looking. It could be me looking too into things??? Right now this is our schedule...nap time is definitely doing better since I moved it to 12 (from 1). Bedtime is very unstable. We are trying to find the right time for her. It normally takes 45 mins for her to fall asleep.
7:30 awake and eat
11:00 lunch
11:30 begin nap time routine
12:00 nap (anywhere from 1.5-2 hours)
2:00 wake
3:00 snack then outside play
5:30 dinner
6:00 bath
6:30-7:30 play inside
7:30 begin bedtime routine
8:00 in bed
8:30-8:45 asleep
My question is -- since she's not crying or doesn't need me, should I assume she's going back to sleep and keep our 8:00 bedtime or should I push it up to 7:30 and see if that helps? I really don't know what to do. I have tried every bedtime under the sun. At 8:00 she has this issue but at 7:30 it seems to take forever for her to fall asleep. Suggestions?
?
