Hi, my little girl 32 months has always been hit and miss re sleep as most are we have had periods of early wake up which to be fair have pretty much sorted themselves out with little help as when I’ve tried to intervene it just makes it worse 🤦♀️
The problem I’m having at the minute is she is waking early, before 6am, not entirely sure exactly when as she does stay quiet in her room, I tend to wake up myself and happen to check on her on the monitor and she’s wide awake, rolling around the bed.
The main problem is she’s a miserable cranky mess by lunchtime and will then try and take a longer nap to compensate for the early wake up. What happens then is this will result in a later bedtime but still an early wake up, if that makes sense?
My question is, should I be consistent and keep the nap capped at an hour which is her average? The issue I have is if it goes more towards and hour and a half it affects bedtime 🤦♀️🙄
Yesterday we had a lovely morning out planned but. Y lunchtime she had a massive tired meltdown! She had a car nap on our way home for about 55 mins and I put her to bed earlier but again she’s been up with the larks this morning.
Her room is blacked out and there are no noises that wake her. She does occasionally wake to use the potty but when she wets in her pull up she can stay asleep. She’s even leaked through and not woken up before now.
I’d be satisfied if she was happy and not a grumpy miserable mess all blummin day! I’d accept that maybe she’s looking to drop her nap maybe.
She’s currently bouncing round like a loon and happy as anything but my anxiety is already on the up cos I know as the morning goes on she become horrible.
I’m struggling at the minute with my anxiety as my oh has been working away for 3 months and my lo has pushed every boundary there is whilst he’s been away. All credit to my single parent friends out there, 3 months has been long enough. I don’t have any respite either apart from when I go to work and she goes to Nursery. Not really a break I know 🙄😳
Any help would be appreciated, thanks xx
