10 month old sleep issues
It’s just as the title says. My 10 month old daughter has been a great sleeper basically since day one until recently she is taking 30-60+ minutes to put down and waking between 3-6am to practice her new skills. The last 3 hours of my sleep consist of flopping her back and forth from the crawling position to the sleeping position. There’s even been a few nights she’s gone to sleep for an hour or so and then woke up and was awake until midnight before she finally went back to sleep again. Now I know everyone says it’s a “sleep regression” but I don’t really believe that. I think it’s a schedule issue more than anything and I just don’t know where to adjust. As I’ve tried a few things already and it has gotten a little better but still not great. I’ll leave her schedule below any tips/tricks or advice is helpful. Thanks!
Wake — 6am
Nap #1 — 9:15-10:15
Nap #2 — 1:45-2:45
Bedtime — 7:30
Her wake windows are roughly 3/4/4.45 give or take a little bit. Her first wake window is only 3 hours because she literally will not stay awake longer, after about 2.15 hours she fusses up until her 1st nap and we normally do a walk to cancel the fussing out but if we go past 3hrs on the walk she just falls asleep in the stroller. Also I just recently went from 3 hours of daytime sleep to 2 hours in an effort to fix bedtime and I do think it helped but only a little that was about a week ago. When I lay her down she never cries or fusses she just lays here either with a totally blank stare or moving her legs like she’s trying to run a marathon. If we can’t get her to sleep after an hour we go back out to the living room dim the lights and let her play quietly for another 15-20 minutes and then she usually will fall asleep after that. Anyways sorry for the long post but I figured the more details the better!
