What's your schedule like if your LO naps 2x a day? Or what was it like?
DS is up between 5-5:50, on his own, every morning. He naps at around 9 and again at around 12:30 at DC (1h in the morning, 2h in the pm). At home it's the same, though I don't limit his am nap to one hour like she does and I end up putting him down a little later for his pm nap because of it. During the week, he has to be up at 6.
He is down in his crib between 7-7:15 and takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes to fall asleep.
I don't mind going to bed super early during the week to deal with the early wake up, but would rather stay up past 9 on weekends. I would take a 6am wake up on weekends, but would LOVE a 6:30-7 start to my day.
Think this can be adjusted?
Re: Help me "fix" an early wake-up
He's definitely not ready for one nap. He's been doing this for months now.
Up until about 2 weeks ago, my LO was waking up between 5:30 and 6 and I prefer that she wake up more like 6:30-ish. In the last couple of weeks she's started sleeping later, and I wonder if it's because it's starting to stay dark later in the AM? Just a guess...
LO is 12 months and 2 weeks old- we still do 2 naps. Our schedule is:
6:15-6:45 wakeup
9:15-9:30 down for nap, up around 10:45-11
2:15-2:30 down for nap, up around 4
Bedtime 8:00
She usually talks for 5-10 minutes before going to sleep. Like your LO, mine is not yet ready to drop a morning nap. She still gets tired in the mornings.
This exactly! We read the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby. It seems so counter-intuitive, but it literally has saved our marriage. LO is usually asleep by 6:45, and he sleeps until 6:30-7.
It's dark here until about 6:30-6:45 right now.
I've thought of this... if I'm up incredibly early again tomorrow, I may try it.
What are naps like for you?
