NAP DURATIONS HOW TO

I really want to try to get her onto a Gina routine as it worked for my eldest!Ĭurrent routine looks something like this:ħam breakfast - 1.5 weetabix with whole cow's milk and 1/4-1/2 banana.ġ0 - breastfeed, although I've just started replacing this with a snack.

NAP DURATIONS HOW TO

I realise I need to start pushing this nap back and also shortening it, but not sure how to do this and when to then put her down for LTN. 9/10 times she won't!īecause of the EMW I've been bringing her nap earlier and letting her sleep as long as she needs (usually around an hour) to stop overtiredness, but I realise this is probably exacerbating the EMW. I'm anxious she doesn't wake her sister at 5am so end up getting her up and feeding her to see if she'll go back to sleep on me (breastfed). To make things worse she's now sharing a room with her sister. She's now 9.5 months, has finally started to sleep through the night over the last month (although if overtired will often wake a few times in evening), but has also in last few weeks started waking around 5am. Number 2 is proving very different! I started off trying to do similar, but she was a serial catnapper and I was becoming so stressed and tbh mentally unwell trying to get her to nap more 🙁. She was following a Gina routine from early on and slept through from 3 months, no real issues with sleep. My first child (now 3) was/is an amazing sleeper. Breastfeeding: the trick to a comfy latch.
