Two Blondinis, I totally agree that 10pm is too late for him to be up and for some reason it just crept later and later each week until he was sometimes up later than that. I think he was trying to tell me that it was too late and instead of trying to get him to have that evening nap I have been trying to keep him up a bit longer in the morning and now he's having the one nap and then in the evenings I'm not putting any pressure on him to sleep, I'm just slowly going through the bedtime routine and for the past three days he's been in bed asleep by 7:30PM!!!! and he sleeps right through till 6-7AM! YAY, I am so pleased. Thank you all. ]]> Sat, 13 Oct 2007 19:22:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=229124&title=confusing-behaviour#229124 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : That&#039;s exactly what we&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227280&title=confusing-behaviour#227280 Author: Two Blondinis

That's exactly what we've found too Lizzle, and once she started walking and being so busy all day she sleeps even better

Also, we did the Johnsons sleep trial thing and found that made a huge difference (bath, massage, quiet time/storytime, bed)]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:08:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227280&title=confusing-behaviour#227280 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : i found that just before the boys...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227270&title=confusing-behaviour#227270 Author: lizzle

i found that just before the boys started crawling, they dropped a sleep, and once they crawled they were expending more energy and needed an extra sleep again.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:56:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227270&title=confusing-behaviour#227270 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : Samantha is resisting her mid...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227261&title=confusing-behaviour#227261 Author: Mama2two

Samantha is resisting her mid afternoon nap in the past few weeks too Renee. Everyday it results in her screaming her lungs out for 5-10 minutes. I have learnt not to get her out of the cot and I just go back in after a few minutes and replace the dummy and give her the snuggly she sleeps with. She will normally then go to sleep or not - Cause she can hehehe.

I should add that it started with her screaming for 30-60 minutes and has gradually been reducing. I am hoping this will be down to nothing very soon.

Do you have a bedtime routine for Sam? I find with my Sam it seems to help at night. We give her a bath around 6.30pm (was 5.30 - darn daylight savings!!!), then a massage and a story with Daddy and then a feed and to bed. She is normally crashed by 7.30 and is down until 5-6am. Before we started doing this routine she was all over the place and really, really hard to settle!!! It was also how we brought her bedtime down from around 11pm to 6pm.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:34:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227261&title=confusing-behaviour#227261 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : I&#039;d say he&#039;s trying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227197&title=confusing-behaviour#227197 Author: Two Blondinis

I'd say he's trying to drop that sleep, and that might be just for a little while (Caitlin did this to me! Went from 3 to 2 to 1 and back to 3 sleeps again! lol)

Also, I personally think 10pm is too late to have a 4mth old up (unless it's a dream feed). With Caitlin, the latest she was up was 8.30pm-9pm and she would still sleep to 6-7am. Also, to avoid any conflict I have always let her tell me when she is tired enough for a nap by her tired signs etc and now I ask her if she wants to go for a nap and she gets her bear/dolly/book and goes to her room (cute aye! lol). But that's just me, you do whatever works for you guys

P.S
I love the comment "cause he can" that is SOOOOOO true! ]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:16:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227197&title=confusing-behaviour#227197 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : Could he be over tired?

Could he be over tired? Maybe he needs another nap added in there? At that age I'm sure Jack was having 3 day sleeps.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:00:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=227182&title=confusing-behaviour#227182 <![CDATA[Confusing behaviour : Cos he can? ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11397&PID=226977&title=confusing-behaviour#226977 Author: cuppatea

Not sure if this is going to continue but for ages and ages Sam would wake anywhere between 6-8AM, sleep till 10AM or so and then be up till about 12:30 when he would have his first nap. He would sleep for a few hours, be up for a few hours and then have another nap between 4-5PM. He would get up, and till at least 9PM he would be awake. We would then do the whole bedtime routine and he would go to sleep relatively easy at about 10PM.

Something has changed, I can't put my finger on it but for the last couple of days he is totally resisting his afternoon sleep deciding to instead scream his lungs out, thrash about, sweat through layers of clothing because he is so worked up. I have tried feeding, changing, rocking, singing, talking, sshhhing, keeping his room quiet and dark, you name it, I've tried it, but he just screams his little head off for hours until he finally gets so exhausted that he crashes out for 12 hours!

He already has two teeth and although he was a wee bit grizzly with them, he wasn't overly concerned. He's not constipated, he doesn't vomit, it's not wind or hunger and I check his temperature repeatedly only to read that it's like 36.8 or at the most 37.1.

Getting a bit confused here! Not complaining about the 12 hour sleeps though!

Any ideas?
