Her day yesterday
Awake 630
nap 1120- 1pm
bed 730
NW 930 -picked her up, held her for 30 sec then put her back down and walked out
NW 130- hunger, I think I need to give her orajel before eating
Awake 6am

She's in bed now for a nap (11am) she isn't sleeping.   She's playing and crying.

It's likely the afternoon A might have been too much causing a bit of OT. 

Did she go to sleep for that nap finally?

HMMM I didn't think of it that way.    She started to fall asleep in the car on the way home from taking DD1 to school.     That was at 930am and she was up at 6.    I thought it was just the car ride that made her sleepy but now in hindsight I guess she really was sleepy.     She did finally fall asleep at 1120 and woke at 1245.     She put up quite a fuss though. 

 I also didn't sit with her in the chair in her room while she had her bottle.    I believe that I need to break the usual routine so that she no longer expects to wind down that way.       

I'm going to aim for a late CN around 5pm.

Hey ladies, I'm popping over here to follow along. Our 6:45 wake up is gone and now replaced with a 4:20 one today. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. Good luck

Stephanie!,
I was wondering how you were doing.     I had to bite the bullet and give Marlow one nap.   I've pushed her A to almost 5 hours in the morning.    Yesterday she had a EW at 430 and, after I gave her milk, she still stayed in bed and whined until almost 6am.   She slept from 6-7 and went back down at 1145 to 115pm.   Bed was at 7pm and she slept until 230am.    She woke  because I didn't give her another dose of pain meds at 1am like I usually do.   I knew she couldn't possibly be hungry so I didn't give into her demands for milk.    It took her an hour to fall back asleep.    She woke at 6 and she seems tired so I'm going to follow her cues and put her down when she starts rubbing her eyes.    I'll try to get two naps today so she can catch up.
