Grayson has been going through a phase for the past week or so, where he practically refuses to sleep and we go back and forth for an hour sometimes more. I hate it, it makes me feel like pulling out my hair, which I'm sure if familiar to other moms. We've had a problem with napping once before when he was about 4 months old, Grayson would stay up for 5+ hours at a time, and then wouldn't nap very much. This was pretty regular and I didn't know what to do about it until I read an article in
Parenting Magazine that said that babies of his age until about 1 year old should only be awake for 3 hours at a time, and usually nap for a total of 3 hours throughout the day. It was an extremely helpful article, you can find it
here!!!
So this past week, we have done the whole thing all over again. At first I thought maybe he was ready to start napping less, and that freaked me out a little because nap times is when I get everything done! Luckily he snapped out of it, and we are slowly getting back on track. However I did do some research and found out that most likely in the next few months he will likely start napping less. So that will be the end of me...haha, not quite but it will make things harder.
