Hi all
My 10 month old is STILL EW alot - its the 2;1 transition and I just cannot get the routine right to get rid of the problems!!
at the moment the routine is (without EW);
wake - 7
S - 10.30 -11.15
S - 2.15 - 3.45/4.15 (however long she will last!!)
BED - 7.30/45
I have am, pm nap refusals and bedtime refusal everyday still! I stay in room to get her to sleep with PD which does the trick (after a bit of battling!!)
anyway because the day is all over I get alot of EW and need to know the best way to handle them...
I keep her in the dark room and try to encourage sleep again - was working but last few times hasnt so I need to know how to adjust day routine to keep her roughly on track - I have been stretching a little at first A time to near 4 hrs A to enable a longer nap of around 1 - 1/2 hrs and then the next A time at 3 hr 30 and I get bad pm nap refusal because of the long nap - should I just be sticking with short am nap?
this is soooo hard!
it was EW this morning and DH is STILL up there now trying to get her to sleep! its been 45 mins of battling so far! she seemed very UT - caused by pm nap refusal which meant nap started later and then she woke later so only 3 hrs last A time!
any advice would be fab! thanks ladies!

What time are here EWs annette?

yeah its just sooo tough...feel like im going round in circles
EW have been anywhere from 4.30am to 5.45 am
Im going to have to put a post in naps I think - cos im sure its the timing of her first nap causing most of the problems...
I am getting really bad am nap refusal - probably the worst refusal of the day! this morning she got so worked up she was gasping for air!
yes normally I wake her from her am nap - today I give up and im letting her decide and then I will do pm nap in the pushchair - I dont have the energy today!!!
