Last night she slept through till 6.30 i couldnt believe it i woke at 6 and she was sleeping  ;D nearly 12 hrs
I put her down for her first nap at 9.20 she fell asleep but woke 10 min later crying i managed to resettle her and she took a 2hr nap im thinking maybe its a little to much maybe a bit ot she then had awake time of 2hr 55 min and took a nap for  1 hr 30 mins
so today was good to i hope she has another good night
Ill keep these a times a few days like you say and see what happens i dont want to jinx things thankyou so much

YAHOO!! Those are great news!! Congrats on the 12 hr night!! I envy you!! :-* :-*

I agree with you on keeping those As for two more days and see what happens.  After these couple of days we can decide if she is getting a bit OT!!

Let me know how things go!

Hi Alexa
Im sorry i have not been able to post updates as things have been a bit crazy round here this last week.We were aiming for 2hr 50 min - 3hr awake time she seemed to be handling quite well sleeping 2-3 hr daysleep and 11-12 night sleep so i was allready to post you saying how well she was doing when she started to have major meltdown for no reason and was really cranky would cry and fuss nothing i did would make her happy she is usually happy even when ot she is normally a little fussy but goes hyperactive rather than upset the only time she was happy if i was holding her  so i thought obviously OT so i started to reduce her awake times for a few days to see if we could catch up but seems anything i would do would give me a short nap meaning she would end up more OT by the end of the day so i spent a few days helping her sleep to catch up but her mood in general isnt improving with more sleep but the strangest thing is she is sttn  ???  so im thinking if she was OT surley she would have been waking in the night or early wakeups.
She is teething so maybe this behaviour is due to that i can see a big lump on the top of her gum and feel it underneath i am giving her teething gel and ashtons and parsons teeting powders but she doeesnt wake in pain during the night i am so confused i guess i should be happy she is not keeping us up at night :) In between this she has had her six month injections which gve her a fever and we have family staying with us for the nxt 2 weeks so no doubt we wont be able to get back on track as MIL thinks Amber should have 1 nap in the middle of the day and i am making her sleep to much i so want Amber on a good routine to show everyone that she does need it and im doing the right thing easier said than done. So maybe whwn the teething has settled and family gone home i can get back to BW as a darent even mention what i think is best for Amber without it upseting everyone else.
Sorry for rambling that was long i should be happy i have a beautifull baby not worrying what my family think and say

Hugs hun!! I know how family can be!! My mom thinks I'm crazy b/c I have Patrick on a routine!  :-\ Just remember you are her mummy and YOU know what's best for her! :-* :-*

It does sound like teething you know? Every baby reacts different to teething.  Some STTN and have horrible naps, some have great naps, and crappy nights; and some have crappy naps, crappy As, and crappy nights! :'( So, I guess Amber gets more pain during the day!   ::)  Keep giving her the teething gel and powders before naps and bedtime. 

I'll be right here waiting for you once your family goes away and you want to get Amber back on track! :-* :-*
