It sounds like we have almost the same baby! My daughter wakes daily between 6:30-7:30, and is usually down for her first nap around 8:45, sometimes that's even a stretch to keep her awake that long. Sometimes she'll sleep 1-2 hours, but more often than not, it's 1/2 hour. Then she proceeds to take about 3 more 1/2 hour naps during the day, and goes down for the night around 7:30. She normally sleeps about 11-12 hours/night. She also has fairly severe acid reflux which is for the most part under control, she's on 30 mg of Prevacid/day as well as Mylanta as needed. She normally is happy, but does seem to get crankier as the day goes on and it gets harder to get her to sleep as the day goes on too. She usually sleeps at about the same times every day: 8:45, 12, 2:45, 5:15. I've tried tried delaying her naps so they're more than every 2 hours, but she still only sleeps 1/2 hour at shot. It seems that she gets about the right amount of sleep for her age, but it would be better for us all if she took 2 1-1 1/2 hour naps rather than 4 1/2 naps per day! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! I'm going to also re-read Weissbluth, and I've ordered "Good Night Sleep Tight" to see if that can help. I'm hesitant to really to a "cry it out" as she does have acid reflux, and extended crying could kick that up. I'm also going to invest in better room-darkening shades tomorrow!
Thanks!
