Helllooo!
Here's the deal - Lindsay and I have a baby sleep question that we can't find in any book or anywhere on the Internets and we fear the mom backlash we may get if we post our question to a group or message board. Enter Sara. We're hoping that you can either help answer our question or point us in the direction of someone who can.
Jude is sleeping. A lot. This weekend and last weekend he has woken up at 9:30 or 10:00 am after going to sleep at 7:30 pm. On top of that, he took a 3.5 hour nap this afternoon. That's 17.5 hours in the last 24 hour period. Whaaaat? We know that babies sometimes sleep more when they're about to hit a growth spurt or going through a milestone, but with this amount of sleep, we're expecting Harvard to accept his application any day, now.
We've also wondered if it has anything to do with the transition from two naps to one. He's been transitioned at daycare to one nap, but it just doesn't seem like enough for him, so we WERE keeping him on a two nap schedule at home on the weekends to let him catch up/store up for the week. His late late wakeup time, however, hasn't left much time for two naps, so he's been on one at home now, too.
For the most part, we know we shouldn't worry too much about this - we know there are parents who would kill to have this problem (and don't get me wrong, I've LOVED the extra time in bed on the weekends!), but there are two things that I can't help but worry about. 1) It's PAINFUL on Monday morning when we have to wake him up at 6:45 am and 2) Is there something wrong? Should we be waking him up at the same time everyday, even on weekends? Should we be matching the schedule at daycare, even though I don't think it's enough sleep? Even though his one nap at daycare is at about noon and our ECFE class goes until 1:00 every Saturday? Argh!!!!!!!!
Like I said - I'm trying not to stress but, I'm stressing anyway. Can you help?
(Also, we miss you and love any excuse to see you or talk to you :-)
Thanks,
Liz
