HELP! Sleep cues don't work anymore
« on: February 12, 2007, 17:39:25 pm »
Hi,
My little guy is 7months old and taking 2 naps a day. 
I try to put him down when he starts yawning - about after 2 hours of activity but he won't sleep.  So I wait about another hour and put him down.  I know at his age 3 hour activity is normal but do i follow the signs or do I follow the schedule?  I find that his last nap is the hardest to put him down and sometimes he just won't sleep or show any signs of tiredness.

EASY

7:00 bf
8:00 food
10:00 nap #1 (1.5 hrs)

11:30 bf
12:30 food
2:30 nap #2 (1.0 or 1.5 hrs)

3:30 bf
4:30 food

5:30 bf
7:00 bath
7:30 bottle 8 oz
7:45 bed

Often at this age tired signs can also mean signs of being bored. If your LO goes down ok after 3hrs of awake time and has a decent nap then that is great. Your routine looks great and almost identical to my DD routine at this age.
