Transitioning to 1 nap-nervous to move up bedtime
« on: August 02, 2006, 00:13:41 am »
Hi all,

We are in the process of transitioning DS to 1 nap.  We started about 7 days ago.  The problem I am having is the inconsistency in the length of the nap.  It can range anywhere from 1 hour-3 hours.  Following is our typical schedule.

6:30AM- Wake
7:30AM-Breakfast
10AM-Snack (little energy boost)
11:30-Lunch
Nap time begins anywhere between Noon-1PM
Naps any where from 1 hour-3 hours
3:30PM-Snack
6:00PM-Dinner
7:30PM-8PM-Bath, Bottle, Bedtime

If he wakes up early from his nap, it is very difficult to keep him up till 7:30PM.  Also, he gets really, really cranky in the late afternoon because he is tired.  We are nervous about putting him to bed any earlier for fear of early wakings.  We are pretty sure this is what will happen from previous experience in tweaking his schedule. 

Not really sure what my question is  :-[ :-[ :-[  Just kind of frustrated and looking for any feedback...

TIA
Judy
