Is anyone/ has anyone been on this schedule? If so, what kind of age??
DD is 7.5 mo and I've been struggling with naps and bedtime for a while. She's a very even tempered baby which is great (especially with a manic older brother) but has next to no sleepy signs.
We're currently on 3 naps - two lots of around an hour and then a short catnap, aiming for about 2.5 hrs before bedtime. But DD takes ages to then get to sleep - anything up to 1.5hrs. She does so pretty happily- rolling around or just lying with her thumb in her mouth until she eventually sleeps. But it drives me nuts and makes for rather a short night for her.
She can't handle too long awake before her first 2 naps so I'm wondering if she should be aiming for 2-3-4 and dropping the catnap? Or is she too young? She'll end up with 2 hrs or so only of day sleep if i do that and I'm worried about making her nights worse...
Where is the damn baby manual?
