Hi folks...sorry this is a long one!
I have 10 month old twins, their corrected age is 8 months. Firstly, I am blessed that they currently sleep through the night. I know I'm incredibly lucky in that respect.
Until a month or so ago, they also napped well but it's gone all wrong. After reading signs and indeed online advice we did the 3 to 2 nap transition. That was just over a fortnight ago but we're still having the same issues as before the transition - they either take a good while to fall asleep or wake up early from naps...sometimes both! And we're now starting to see some early mornings sneak in...
All the advice says to pay close attention and make sure we're using age appropriate wake windows and daytime sleep. We're following all of this and it's still not working! I've Googled a million times and all the suggested fixes are things we're already doing!
I'm really beyond my wits end here. I don't know if it's because of my anxiety but for some reason this is really getting to me - I'm sleeping badly because I'm constantly worrying about this. I rarely think about anything else other than their poor naps and it's making me so unhappy and to be honest I think I'm driving everyone around me mad because I constantly obsess over this.
For info, we're doing a schedule of 2.75/3/3.25, with DWT at 7am and bedtime at.18.30. First nap 09.45 for an hour and second nap at 13.45 for an hour and a half. We are thinking about moving to 3/3/3 to see if this makes a difference.
But from what I can see, it's all age appropriate so I have no idea where I'm going wrong but it's driving me crazy and I feel bad because I want my girls to be able to rest properly during the day and I feel like I'm failing them.
If anyone has any tips or advice or success stories, I'd be so grateful! Thanks for reading!
