We're just getting her EASY schedule ironed out. But this is what we're working with as the new "ideal":
(by the way, DD is 7.5 mo and before all of this BW and PU/PD stuff she was taking two solid 1.25 hour naps a day and one 1 hour nap-- now I've screwed all of that up
)
6:00 wake and quiet play in crib
7:00 nurse then play
8:00 breakfast then play
9:00 nap (1.5 hours)
10:30 nurse then play
12:30 nurse (eventually this will be lunch)
12:45 quiet play
1:00 to 1:30 nap--this is where I might have to slowly help her adjust
2:30 or 3:00 nurse then play
4:30 nurse
5:30 dinner
6:30 bedtime ritual
7:00 in bed for the night
Today was this-- she was super tired so I tried to put her down just before 8:00, it took until 9:00 with PU/PD. She only slept until 9:35. At 11:00, she was so exhausted that I let her go back to sleep with a much easier PU/PD session. She slept 45 minutes then woke up. I started PU/PD at 2:30, she fell asleep at 3:10 and needed shush-pat at 3:45, but now has slept for 2 hours total and we're about to wake her up so that it doesn't screw up tonight's sleep. Today has been totally SCHIZOPHRENIC!!!!
I feel like I'm losing my mind, but I truly BELIEVE that this is all going to sort itself out if we just stick with this board and all of the great info about the BW plan.
Thanks!
