Hi there got advice in past and we thought everything was fixed but .............
DD is now just over 17 months, we just moved house last week but problems have existed for about 5 weeks now.
The routine that worked was
7am awake, milk
8am breakfast , play activity etc.
11 - 11.30 fall asleep for nap
1 - 1.30pm wake and lunch
5.30pm dinner
6.20pm watch in the night garden
7pm bath, milk bed generally asleep before 8.15pm.
Then she started pushing her morning nap in to the afternoon
7am awake, breakfast etcthen activity
12noon lunch now earlier, (but eats well as breakfast now teamed up with milk)anytime between
1pm and 2pm get her down to nap (now the problems start)
get up after say 2 hours maximum ( she would sleep longer) have tried 1 hour, 1.5 hours as well all same result at bedtime.
5pm dinner - eats very well.
6.20 pm In the Night Garden
7pm bath, milk. bed
asleep anytime between 9 - 10.30pm Whilst drinking her milk she can suddenly stop, ask for bed, when we out her in it is just fooling about but sometimes on her hands and knees and hitting her head off the top of the cot, or constantly wants water to drink (and she does drink not just a sip) then she wants back out, in out you name it. Daddy is not acceptable she became really upsetwhen he tried the other night to I could get a rest, and I mean really upset.
Must admit we have fallen back in to the habit of staying with her until she is asleep and it is driving me nuts again. When previous routine worked she was so relaxed after her milk, we brushed teeth put her i bed and she was asleep within 5 mins.
Sorry about length but going nuts and pregnant again and stuck in a sleep rut.
Many thanks in advance.
