ready for 4 hrs?

[*Mona*]

hi

my dd is twelve weeks and has just gone through growth spurt. from yesterday she's suddenly extended her naps to around 2 hours a time [with a waking in the middle but still if I manage to resettle her she stays asleep for another slep cycle or longer]. the problem is that her A time is still somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes. so, does this mean she's ready for 4 hrs EASY and I should work on prolonging her A time? or should I keep her on 3,5 hrs EASY??

for the nightime: she sleeps for 5~6hrs stretch from around 8pm and then wakes up once or twice.

TIA,
Monika

You can find more info and the signs that you need to transition here --> https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=63161.0

Let us how you get on.

Thanks for the link, should have checked it before posting... anyways,

Here are some signs of needing to transition:
1. Not taking as much at a feed (baby not as hungry at 3 hours)
2. Erratic Night Wakings
3. They are extending their awake times
4. Starts taking 45 minute naps

no 1: she's been napping longer so she definitely is hungry when she wakes up [some 3,5~4 hrs between the feeds]
no 2: yep, we've got it
no 3: not really
no 4: on the contrary 

so, what do you make of it?? eh, maybe I should wait a few more days and just watch carefully...

Have you thought about trying a 3.5hr EASY, rather than jumping to 4hrs. There is a transistion guide on the link I have given you.

yes, I think that's what we'll have to do. lol, these kids grow so fast! 

I'm sure I will have more questions for You, so TIA
