Could be a fluke...BUT I'd like your opinions on....

PRELUDE: Aly has been getting quite fussy in the evening hours, even with eating/playing/falling asleep...she just seems to crank/cry/be annoyed more lately

Aly ate around 6:30 ish last night (I wanted to give her bath BUT) and started falling asleep as she always does after eating. DH came home, we ate dinner and he held her (while she was still sleeping) so I could eat. He went to put her down in her crib and I figured she'd be up in 30 min or so cuz she hates her crib and she ALWAYS wakes up one more time before her late bedtime.

WELL....she fussed on and off for about an hour cuz the paci kept falling out. WE kept going in to put it back, soothe her, etc.

WELL, someone decided to sleep till 1:30am IN HER CRIB. I fed her and brought her to bed and then she slept till about 8/8:30 to eat again.

SO...OPINIONS ON....could she be shifting her bedtime (on her own) AND should I feed, then bathe, then let her fall asleep OR bathe, feed, then sleep???

Re: Could be a fluke...BUT I'd like your opinions on....

What time was her nap before her last feeding? At her age, she probably is sleepy after 2 hours of wakefulness. If she napped between 4pm and 5pm then she may be ready for bed b/w 6pm and 7pm.

I would say try bathe, feed and then sleep routine and see how she does. That's pretty much our routine and it seems to work for Nate.

I wouls also bathe then feed. Did you try putting her back in the crib after you fed her? She did so well the first half of the night maybe she is getting used to it.
