XP: 3 am party time

hjs2013

I posted this on my birth month board but thought Id ask here too! Tia



I know I'm not a normal poster but
you all have helped me a lot over the
last few months. So my DD will be 7
months tomorrow and sleep is so
so....could be better, could be
worse. However for the past few
week, I can pretty much set my
clock on it. She wakes up and no
matter what I do, I can't get her to
fall back asleep until 2 hours later!
Its like she thinks 3 am is her wake
up time. Its really starting to wear on
me and I don't really know what to
do to fix this. Any advice is greatly
appreciated!

Is there any consistency to LO's nap schedule? (Like my LO naps every 3-4 hours). You could shorten each nap to move LO's last nap before bedtime earlier. My LO used to nap at 8pm but then bedtime was supposed to be 10. Well if she'd just woken up she wouldn't be ready to go back to bed until 11/12. So we encouraged her to nap at 6, and kept her awake until bedtime. It took a little while but now it works and she sleeps through the night.

Her last nap is usually 4:30-5:30 so that puts bedtime always between 7-8. She's a decent daytime napper.
