Did you try rocking with different methods ?
Walking around holding baby/rocking always works .

what if it’s dangerous that she’s awake for this long

It’s totally fine for babies this age to skip one nap here and there just go about your day and put her to sleep as soon as you see the cues.

Avatar

she is tired she’s just fighting it and wants to play instead she’s gonna end up being up the whole day and I’m scared she won’t sleep tonight either

never happened before

Maybe she’ll have an early night today

but what if she doesn’t sleep the night either wouldn’t it be dangerous

Avatar

missing some sleep isn't dangerous.

If you were anxious that she's not sleeping that may be part of the reason why she's struggling to fall asleep cos she's getting that vibe from you.

If she's fighting it a lot then it could be that the timings aren't right when you are offering a nap in the first place.

What's the routine?

don't stress it. she's probably just going through a leap, which can come with some sleep disruptions

she wakes up at 6:45 7:00 am she has first nap at 9:30 then last nap from 1:00 to 3:00 bed time at 7

how long is the morning nap?

Avatar

2h afternoon 1h

She’s not built to fight sleep forever eventually, she’ll crash. An occasional rough night isn’t a big deal, but if she’s regularly getting less than 10 hours in 24 hours, that’s when it can become a concern. I don’t stress if my son skips a nap as long as he’s happy, not overtired, and isn’t in any discomfort.

you said last nap 1 to 3? Which is 2 hours?

Avatar

sorry it’s 2h between 1-3 it’s 1h but saying 1-3 because we start the nap at 1 but can take her half an hour an hour to fall asleep and 3 pm is the end of nap time bedtime is 7 pm

Avatar

with daylight time saving whatever we went an hour forward since then it’s a gone show to sleep for her at night

Avatar

I'd tweak the last nap later (try it at half 1) cos currently gaps are 2.5 hours in a morning before nap, 2.5 before last nap and 4 before bed which is a big range.

You want the shortest first then getting longer as the day goes on.

Id keep 2.5 in a morning before nap, increase the time between naps to 3 hours then a gap of 3.5-4 before bed.

Avatar

Just keep the environment as calm as possible dim lights, minimal noise since she’ll probably be overtired before bedtime. A little soft play, a warm bath, a gentle massage, and cozy feedings can help her wind down without getting overstimulated. Keeping things low-key should make settling easier!

i try to get her to stay awake longer but she won’t then when i do it she’s too tired and wont sleep 😩 but today the first day she ever did that just won’t sleep the whole day i have no clue why she also has 8 teeth currently and one coming again maybe teething bothering her also? Should I give Tylenol maybe ?

Avatar

based on the info you said it takes half hour to fall asleep so she is awake longer?

Teething can definitely impact sleep.

Avatar

it depends so sometimes im able to keep her awake 2h30 3 h awake in between but when it’s 3h she’s awake she gets really grumpy maybe i should go back to 3 naps a day ?

Avatar

at this age you'd expect them to be able to stay awake 3 hours plus.

Could be worth trying a 3 nap day but this age is usually 2.

Avatar

she was born early could it have an impact maybe ? Sorry it’s my first just trying to figure it out you think you got a schedule and a routine until you don’t lol

Avatar

yeah it could. Go by the corrected age.

You can have a perfect schedule/routine then needs change so you readjust

Avatar

she was born at 36 weeks and few days

Avatar

then may not be ready for a move to 2 naps yet.

My daughter dropped to one nap at 11 months

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
