OK so am at end of my tether....again! My 8 month old will not nap. At best we manage 1 hr per day but its normally about 20/30 mins?! Surely this isn't normal??
We did some sleep training and got rid of dummy which has worked well for us at night despite some early wake ups. She is teething and has just cut her first two teeth.
I seem to get such conflicting advice from everyone. HV said 'well maybe she doesn't need to nap much?' which I found very helpful :/ Then I read everywhere that babies her age should be getting at least 2.5hrs per day in order for them to sleep well at night. The thing is she shows all signs of tiredness and is irritable and yawning, rubbing eyes etc. I time it to two hours after she has woken to try and get the timing right. I dont know what i'm doing wrong.
I know all babies are different blah blah, but she used to nap so well and now its a gone horribly wrong. I feel like I dont have time to do anything!! My 3 yr old is reacting to it as I dont have special time with him, its hard. Please someone tell me they went through same thing and it got better!!!!
