Will my child ever have a sleep schedule that lasts longer than 6 weeks???

My DD is six months old, and every six weeks, I feel like I have to re-learn her nap routine. Bedtime and waking times are consistent.

From 4.5 months to now, we had a lovely one that included two hour-long naps a day and two solid meals. I BF on demand in between. DD was happy and fun and well-rested. I even managed to do things around the house. It was glorious. The ped suggested three meals, and then DD cut two teeth. Not sure if those two events are related to her nap routine imploding, but the past week has been awful. We stopped "lunch" and put the BFing session back, with the thought that she couldn't digest all that solid food yet. Didn't help. Nothing else has changed.

What else can I do?

Anthony enjoys switching it up on me, too. I just ride it out bc if I mess with it (and I've tried), his nighttime sleep gets all screwed up.

I found that he actually napped better after I added the 3rd meal. He just cut two teeth yesterday, too!! I thought it was one, but sure enough there are two little stubs in there!!

Sorry I don't have any advice, just wanted to tell you that I'm right there with ya!
