I'm struggling to work out what kind of nap times my 7.5 mo dd should be having. My problem is that she doesn't seem to give obvious tired cues, or not ones I can spot anyway, and I've read a load of contradictory advice.
Lots of people say the 234 routine works well, so first nap 2 hours after waking, 2nd nap 3 hours after waking and bedtime 4 hours after waking from 2nd nap. I like this in theory, but struggle to see how it would work if you get shortish naps. Dd will usually only sleep an hour in the morning, and maybe an hour 15 at lunchtime, which leaves a long stretch till bedtime, but not really enough time for another nap.
But I've also read that at 7 months ish she should be doing about 3 hours awake time between naps. So according to this she isn't tired enough for first nap, and overtired at bedtime.
So what to do?
What worked for you at this age?
