NWs after cold.Or do i need to change routine?
« on: January 09, 2007, 13:53:22 pm »
HI
Sasha unfortunately came down with a very bad cold over the new year :P.shes now over the worst but we are still left with night wakings (again!!!-just got her back on track after a tummy bug).
Now i know its going to take a while for her to get back on track with regards to her sleep but i'm starting to question her routine as well in case that is excacerbating the NWs

wake-6-6.30.has milk
8.00-breakfast
11.30-lunch
12-nap usually for 2.5 hrs
3pm-snack
5.45-dinner
7.30-milk,bath and bed.

i'm pretty sure i've hit the right bedtime as DH tried to put her to bed at 7pm last night and she wouldn't have it.i was at work at that point.mind you he did mention that he did get her up from her nap late ::).so not really suprising she wouldn't go to sleep (men).
anyway i'm wondering if the nap might be causing a problem.i don't want to shorten the nap yet as shes just got over her cold.

Hi Andrea,

To me, your routine looks good.  What does she do when she wakes at night?  Does she just wake and play for a bit?  What do you and DH do when she wakes?

when she wakes we just go in and say "lie down and go to sleep" then walk out again.she usually goes straight back to sleep.when she wakes shes crying out we leave her for a little while to see if she will settle.sometimes she does sometimes she doesn't.
last night however she slept all the way through until 5.30am ::).mind you pretty good since we had at least 2 NWs cos of the cold.went in did the "lie down go to sleep" and then she woke at 6.30.
might try wake to sleep or see if her nap needs to be just 2hrs now.

i know i have to cut that nap down but hate doing it :'( :'(.but i think its the only way to get her to sleep longer.managed to get her down for a nap and asleep by 12.15 (usually 12) and will wake her up at normal time- 2.30pm.
as we have had early wakings b4 when she was younger (around the 8-9mth age) i know shes better if i push her nap gradually later rather than doing it cold turkey.
i'm dreading the day she has NO naps :'(

Andrea,

I hate the thought of limiting their naps too!  I guess the alternative is a long nap during the day, but early wake up.  You have to decide what works best.  I am still undecided.

Hopefully the day of NO naps is WAY far away!

Good luck!

i'd rather sacrifice some nap time for longer nights.i'm hoping we will go back to 11 hours at night.
when we were transitioning to 1 nap i limited the nap to 2hours but she was real grouchy in the pm so we extended to 2.5 and shes was sleeping 11.5-12hrs :o :o at night.
i think her tummy bug and cold have thrown me for a while (and her) so i couldn't see she really just needs less sleep during the day ::) ::) serious mummy mush brain
