You could always try leaving him for a few days for the hour and see what happens. If he's throwing a fit upon waking he's probably still tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1730196 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 03:52:49 +0000 jetsa 1730196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I think my kid will always just be a crap napper ;) he's down to 2 naps and I'm lucky if both are 45 mins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1730055 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:21:56 +0000 delight 1730055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I started when she transitioned to two naps and her naps were typically longer. That was around 6.5/7 months. She typically has a two hour nap and a 1-1.5 hour nap. So if she wakes up early I just leave her til the hour mark. It's only happened a handful of times and she either just plays or talks to herself or fusses a bit but usually falls back to sleep. </p> <p>Before that she was having 3-4 naps and they'd range from 30 minutes to two hours. It was harder to do it then. I'd try to nurse her back to sleep but if it didn't work she just got up cause she was going to go back down for a nap again in 1.5 hours anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1730000 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 21:39:55 +0000 jetsa 1730000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: when did you start leaving her for the hour? I feel like I need to do something like this but DS throws a fit when he wakes up if you don't immediately get him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729871 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 20:20:09 +0000 sandy 1729871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age I waited to get her and 90% of the time she would fall back asleep after 10-15 minutes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729862 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 20:17:12 +0000 delight 1729862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age I would nurse back to sleep.</p> <p>Now at 10 months she stays in her crib til the hour mark, but she doesn't usually wake up before an hour anyways anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729826 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 20:03:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1729826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: same. I pretty much tried anything. </p> <p>I wouldnt worry so much about being overfull. I don't thill that much milk comes out when they are comfort nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729688 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 18:10:28 +0000 Mae 1729688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is only 6 weeks but I generally give her a few min to see if she falls back asleep on her own. And if not I try to rock her back to sleep.</p> <p>ETA: I only nurse to sleep for night sleep, not naps. So she isn't that used to nursing to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729677 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:47:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 1729677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to! Sometimes rocking with pacifier worked, sometimes nursing. It depended. My LO nursed a loooot and didn't seem overfull very often ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729669 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:24:51 +0000 hilsy85 1729669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try rocking, nursing, or paci-ing back to sleep. Once LO was older, I would leave him for 15/20 min and sometimes he would put himself back to sleep. </p> <p>Sometimes when they have wakeups like that, it means they're overtired, Is that possible with your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729660 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 16:55:04 +0000 Cherrybee 1729660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I formula fed my baby but I would always offer her paci in those circumstances and hope she went back to sleep. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didnt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-wakes-up-early-from-a-nap#post-1729658 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 16:52:27 +0000 MamaChin 1729658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your baby wakes up from a nap and you know they're still tired, do you nurse them back down? Wait an hour and try again? </p> <p>LO#2 is 3.5 months. I know she is capable of long naps (2-3 hours) but sometimes she'll wake up 20-30 minutes later crying and rubbing her eyes. Some days I have to nurse her back down so many times I'm afraid she'll throw up from being too full. What do you do? </p>
