what time does/did your 4 month old go to sleep?
DD is still not really napping on a schedule, so without fail she will end up exhausted at around 6:30. i'll nurse her and put her down, but the last few nights she's trying to make this sleep period be more like a nap - ready to get up and play at 7:30
i have trying to enforce the bedtime feeling at that point - lights kept very low, i restrict engagement, not playing, soft voice, willing to nurse but that's about it. and she will ultimately go back to sleep by about 8. but it's driving me nuts b/c obviously if she's tired enough to end up asleep by 8...and often she rejects the offer to nurse, so she's not hungry... she clearly could just be going to sleep. rather than having this 30-50 min period of wakefulness
any ideas?
thanks
