Wondering if anyone has any advice or tips!
My DD is 7 months and has always only napped for about 30-40 mins max unless poorly which was fine when she had 3 naps but now we're switching to 2 naps as she wasn't tired enough for the 3 and it meant bed time would have had to be far too late.
Problem is that now she won't take a long nap to get her through. She wakes anywhere from 6-7am then first nap is about 9:30am where she'll be awake by 10/10:15am. Then obviously need her next nap just after 1 and again only sleep for max of 45 mins so by bedtime she's exhausted and beside herself crying. I'm a bit at a loss because if she had the three naps her bedtime would have to be almost 9pm which just doesn't work but she gets really upset if she's awake any longer that 3-3.5 hours.
I always rock her to sleep which I know doesn't help probably but it's always been the easiest thing to do and she's fast asleep in 5 mins so I'm happy doing that. I have white noise on and the room is dark and she has her sleep bag and is warm enough etc so I just don't know what else to do!
Maybe she will just get used to the routine eventually??
