Hi Tiny Bubu - my goodness, it must be tough for u especially now that you r pregnant!
Just to share my thots here. My baby started having prob. with her naps since late week, she didnt nap at all on Saturday, Sun was ok, and monday till now only have like one nap. I understand that by nap, it means at least 1.5hr to 2hr.
For their age and up to at least 18mths, they need 2 naps - one in the morning, and one in the afternoon.
Now they can have 2naps and one catnap.
My baby started sleeping thru the nite since she was 7 - 8 wks old (from 845pm to 7ish in the morning). She was on a 3hr routine, and she was quite a textbook baby. Her sequence is Drink, then wake up / play for sometime, then nap. Rather predictable.
Last week when we intro her to solids and adjusted her routine to 4hr, she started to have some prob napping and wake up early in the morning or will wake in the middle of the nite (but just need pacifier to be put back to sleep but there was one or 2 times she needed more time to be put to sleep) and there was also one time she woke up crying/fussing. In the past, she usually wakes up happy.
We believe it is due to her non-naps in the day. Of course, we are also thinking she may not have enough to eat. So today, we started to give her one more spoonsful of cereal.
And for the naps, this morning we put her to nap, she woke up 45mins after that, and my husband carried her to make her sleep. Then put her down, she napped for some time then now woke up agian. My husband is carrying her now.
I read that the nap time in the day is important, and if baby cannot sleep, we can carry them first (may need to do this for a few days) .. till they are into the habit of napping then slowly again let them nap without being carried.
So, we are trying to help her with the nap prob now. Will let u know if our solution works! Trying out different methods. If our current method dont work, i think we may have to put her back to the 3hr first and see.. or 3.5hr first.
