Hi
My LO is 9.5 mo old and we have a problem with early wakings. Recently I posted about it and was advised to switch around naps. He usually took a long am nap and a short pm nap. I recently switched around his naps so that I wake him after 1hr from am nap, then pm nap is 1.5-2hrs. Also made bedtime a consistent 630. Our goal for wakeup is 6 am. During the 2weeks time we had some success--2 days of 530,1 of 545, 1 at 6, and 2 after 6 (630 and 645
!!) have really tried to make his routine solid and here it is:
5(if he wakes I leave him fussing in bed, til he cries,then I go and pat him to try to get him to sleep, I never take him out before 545)
E 6 bf
A and breakfast at 7
S 9, wake him at 10
E 10 bottle(with dh) and snack
A and lunch at 12 or 1230
S 145 or 2-sleeps usually 1.5-2 hrs. (sometimes have to pat him to sleep if he wakes early)
E 4 bf and snack
A and dinner at 5 or 530
bath
E bf
S bed at 630 or 640
The last 2 days the day routine was solid, he had seemingly 'perfect' days, but woke at 5 am still. So now I'm wondering what to do. Today, since I've given it two weeks, decided to try something different
and let him sleep 1.5 hr first nap, then 2nd nap he would only sleep 1hr15
which is the same amount of daytime sleep he got yesterday anyway, so guess it didn't help. Plus, I put him down at 650 tonight, (goal of 7, but he fell asleep bfeeding, then woke as I put him in bed, and went right back off)
Any suggestions or help will be gladly accepted...
thank you
Kristi
