We finally figured it out

We FINALLY figured out Riley's sleeping needs. I'm not really worried about speaking too soon, because we have been doing this for a few weeks now. The problems we have been having is that she will sometimes just NOT go to bed and she doesn't even seem tired. So, we played around with her schedule and I think we figured it out. She normally wakes up at 8am, give or take 30 minutes. She does down for her ONE and ONLY nap at 12pm and she naps for one hour. If she goes over that, then we wake her up (which usually isn't a problem unless I'm napping with her). This seems to be working well and making her tired enough to where she goes down quite easily at 8pm. It's funny how each baby has their own sleeping needs and I'm glad we finally got her's figured out.



It seems that most babies her age still have two naps and we were trying that out or letting her take one long nap she was still wired at 10pm or even later. We also went through stages where she wouldn't nap at all or just for 20-30min and then we had a fussy baby on our hands that wanted to go to bed too early. So, we found a happy medium. I love her
