Yes get well soon, Livy and (((hugs))) First mum.
Glad I's had good naps, Laura
Again, hope she's feeling better soon, it's so hard when they're ill or teething or something else is up and we have no idea what baseline is in order to tweak accordingly...
Lovely to hear about giggling to sleep, Ginger
How's the sleep nowadays?
Katherine are you still here? No pressure, I know you're busy
Just an update from us, not feeling in a position to advise atm
So she had a great day with DH sleep-wise on Thursday, actually not too bad when with him all week, it just all goes wrong due to her messing around at naptime when it's me
I'm really not sure at all what the nights are like or when she wakes, since I've been sleeping in the living room - DH can sleep through most of it unless she really needs him, and in that case he can resettle her and go straight back to sleep again, unlike me, who'll stay awake the rest of the night
So he'll report back to me in the morning, but sometimes I forget to turn the monitor off so there have been nights where he thought she woke at 6 but I know she woke at 5 and had a short NW earlier on too. Not quite knowing what happens at night might make it harder to know what to tweak, but really I wasn't sleeping well in there and my mood's so much better now I'm in the living room. Just hoping her sleep will get better soon so I can sleep in my bed again! Anyway, the 'perfect' day last week went like this:
WU don't really know but always up at 6.30am whatever happens
Nap 1: 9.30-9.55am (capped)
Nap 2: 1-3pm (she woke herself at 3)
BT: 6.45pm - and a decent night, apparently
When it doesn't work she may mess around a bit for nap 1, but 15mins max; nap 2 however can be delayed up to 45mins, then she'll do 30mins before waking OT but resettle herself but then do a really bitty nap. May be ww, don't think it's UT. Anyway, my plan now (I think) is to just get her up at 3pm whatever, since she'll have to do that (or perhaps even a little earlier) once DS starts school next month. BT would ideally always be 6.30 or later, so I can get home from work in time to bf her. She's often/mostly(?) still waking around 5am, never sure if she resettled as DH doesn't know - he usually does regardless
