Is this normal?
Every so often, maybe once a week, my daughter will wake up from her nap (typically the afternoon nap) PISSED. She doesn't cry a lot so when she does this it's really stressful. I try to get her back to sleep first bc this usually happens after a shorter than usual nap (25 minutes vs 35) and then I'll resort to feeding her assuming that she's just growing and having an extra hungry day. I make sure she gets a good bubble out which is always hard when she's upset but it does calm her for a few seconds when it does come out. If she goes right back to screaming after that, I'll go change her diaper and try to put her back to sleep. But most of the time she zones out for a few minutes and then acts like nothing ever happened. She's currently playing with her feet, smiling, and singing after this screaming session. Her eyes still look tired so I know she could turn on a dime.
Is this normal? Am i missing something? Any thoughts on what I could try differently?
