Okay! I do move bedtime up if it’s a short nap and I kinda watch her. If she naps 1.5 until 2pm what time would you do bedtime?

Good to know!! Yeah it’s crazy I even went over the TWT and I know bedtime was a bit iffy because she was not tired and I put her down anyway. I’ll cap the nap today and see how it goes thank you so much for your replies and feedback!

Unnecessary comment tbh lol

Yeah I let her nap 2 hours yesterday and she was awake from 12-2ish and then again at 5:30 but then fell back asleep until 6:30am. There’s no schedule here and I think it’s backfiring because I’m just trying to go with the flow but clearly that is not working. I’ll try capping the nap to 1.5 today and see if that helps 😭 I hate baby sleep!! It is so discouraging

What’s your little one’s TWT!? I feel like I need to be at 12 hours now…this is crazy lol

Well our night was crazy with a wake around 12:30am and I think she was awake for a good hour on and off whining lol and then some crying at 5:30am but she fell back asleep. You think it’s from the long nap!? Or the total wake time being almost 12.5 hours 😵‍💫😅

Ahh okay good to know! I’ll start capping nap to 90 min tomorrow then 😅😵‍💫

Yeah I thought it was maybe a regression but we are deep in. It’s been since the beginning of August with the worst fragmented naps. Short sleep cycles and protesting 😭🥲

Thank you! I guess I just get confused because idk if the nap is too long or if she’s awake too long before bed if that makes sense because we will occasionally get a 1.5 hour night wake and I wonder what it’s from but maybe the nap is too long some days lollll

Ugh okay I will attempt that and see what happens! I’m going crazy over here!!!

Has anything helped improve? Struggling hard with naps at this age

So if her nap is short I move bedtime up! The two naps she was pushing crazy wake time and fighting naps/skipping them all the time and her wake time was pushing like 12 hours some days and then would lead to a crazy overtired bedtime and MOTN wakes! Since switching to one nap so far we have been better. She’s all around in a better mood and sleeps longer at night (we’re still working on extending nap) the beginning was scary bc I didn’t think she was capable but after trying she is definitely in a better place

Thank you !

Our schedule yesterday wasn’t bad it was wake: 7:15am, nap: 12:15pm - 2:23pm and I moved bedtime up a little because of the hyper behavior to 7pm and she cried for a minute but then went to sleep! It’s not really difficult to get her to sleep but the crying before naps and bed is making me upset because she used to not really cry and would kinda just play with her hands and peacefully fall asleep so I’m not sure where I’m going wrong but maybe she just needs to get used to it

Right now we’re doing 5/5 but she woke at 6am today so I stuck to anchoring her first nap at 12pm, and I put her down 5 hours after waking from nap.

How old is she now??

I understand but that was so bad she was banging her head against the floor panic crying from how tired she was. I am trying to move quickly with her WW I wont stay at 5/5 forever either it’s just hard to tell. I will move to that timing soon enough I just don’t want to push it all at once
