Mamas 💆🏻‍♀️ I just about ripped my husband a new one. He called to let me know he was on his way home from work, and asked what was wrong. I told him it was rough getting Charlotte down for her afternoon nap.

“... does she need two naps?”

so now I’m like:

“Yes. She takes one around 10:30, and then at 3. It took her so long to put herself down for her PM nap, she didn’t fall asleep till 4.”

“I thought she was down to just one nap??”

And I’m just:

“That’s just on Sunday’s because of church.”

“Well maybe we should switch her to just one nap. It works on Sundays.”

I’m like, we?!

“The reason it works Sunday is because I nursed her. We can’t cut back nursing and switch her schedule at the same time. That’s too much for her. Once I get done weaning her, then I’ll adjust her schedule.”

“Well we’re behind on weaning her. If we had started when we were supposed then we could be trying one nap now.”

Now I’m just:

ANYWAYS. Yes, baby and I are in the process of weaning. She normally nurses 4 times a day: right when she wakes up, before both naps, and last thing at bed time. Do I cut to one nap but continue nursing (which would put us at 3 times a day instead of 4)? Do I keep both naps, but take one feeding away? I took away her AM nap feeding and she did just fine. I knew her PM naps are a struggle, so I planned on nursing her anyways, but she still put up a fight. We’ve got a pretty good routine now:

•wake up 7:30

•nurses

•breakfast 9

•nurse for AM nap around 10:30

•wake up 12ish

•lunch 1

•nurse for PM nap between 3-3:30

•wake up around 4:30-5

•dinner 6ish

•bath 7/7:30

•bed time 8:30

She can put herself to bed, but I normally nurse her to sleep for naps 😬 I know I know bad habit, especially now that I’m weaning. I tried giving her a sippy with milk and what I pumped, but I pumped less than half an ounce 🙄

Help me! She’s my first, obviously, I have no idea what I’m doing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What kind of schedule are your babies on?
