Hi all,
Until recently (few days ago) I was following a purchased sleep plan online. They ended up telling me my (just turned yesterday) 7 month old only needed 2hrs 20 minuets sleep a day. First nap being 20 minuets and a 2 hour nap midday, when I woke my LG up after 20 minuets for her morning nap she would never sleep for 2 hours later and it ended up getting to the point where she was only catnapping 30 minuets at a time.
I decided the following day that as all babies are different I was going to let her catch up on this sleep deficit, so let her sleep until she woke and her her back into a routine later (2 hour morning nap and an hour afternoon nap)
The sleep team also said at 6/7 months the awake time before bed could be 2.5 - 4 hours, she woke at 4.30 so I bathed her and fed her ready for bed at 7.30-8, and have just had an hour of crying before she fell asleep, now I don't know if she went to bed overtired or under-tired, any advice would be massively appreciated 😢?
She's waking lots in the night, but she's in a next to me cot and so goes back to sleep if I hold her hand or put my face next to hers and move when she falls asleep. But again I don't know if this is because of over/undertiredness.
Thank you for reading this, sorry it's such a long post/question x
