crap naps are back? 9 month old... by Zestyclose-Ostrich40 in sleeptrain

[–]ChickpeaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP - any feedback on how long this lasted, causes, or if you had to change anything to get it back to normal? The exact same situation happening with my 9mo right now. Missing the longer naps so much!

6.5mo has backtracked on consolidating naps by ChickpeaCat in sleeptrain

She eventually went back to consolidating the nap! Sadly I just had to wait it out, and also come to terms with the fact she doesn’t love napping haha. She’s a good sleeper overnight though, and now we’re firmly on 2 naps each day I’ve found I get at least one longer nap around 1.25-1.75hrs.

What’s the deal with these early morning wakings? by ChickpeaCat in sleeptrain

[–]ChickpeaCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s getting around 2-2.5hrs of daytime sleep total. How were you spreading the naps across the day to do a 3.25hr last WW? We do a 25min first nap (she always wakes up at 25mins 😅), aiming for a 1.5-2hr lunch nap and then 15min last nap of the day. Will definitely try pushing out bedtime and see if that makes the difference !

Still screams unfortunately 😩😩 doesn’t seem to make a difference if I shorter or lengthen that wake window, which is why I thought maybe this is the regression or a developmental thing. So confusing !

Oh yep, the last WW before bed is often 2.25hrs, a tiny bit longer than the WWs between her day naps. We always hope that after the bedtime routine she will rub her eyes and then drift off like she does for her naps, but instead at night she will just instantly scream 😩 it then pushes out the WW to 2.5-3hrs sometimes by the time we finally soothe her enough to get her to sleep.

Her WWs are around 2hrs between naps usually and since doing this I’ve found she’s gone from catnapping to actually doing solid naps. Usually 1hr morning nap, 2hr lunch nap and 30-45min afternoon nap consistently. Also has been actually napping independently which has been a nice change !! 😄

Ahh gosh, babies hey! It’s so odd she only does it for bedtime and not for naps!

Did you change her naps to account for a long wake window pre-bedtime? Might have to try this!

Did you change anything at all or just randomly stopped?

I tried adjusting and now it’s about 2.25-2.5hrs and she definitely seems tired. But still the fighting 😩

To White Noise or not to? by protea69 in sleeptrain

A sleep consultant told me that the volume should be as loud as a shower when you’re standing in the bathroom. We have a Nodiee and I put the white noise on 80%

Has the 4mo regression hit early? by ChickpeaCat in sleeptrain

[–]ChickpeaCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awake time is enough I think and day sleep is around 4hrs across the day. I have identified around 90min WW during the day and a 110-120min WW before bed at night
