these naps are just wearing me down

If she's STTN Becky it sounds good to me   I often find I have to ignore what LOs 'should' be doing at any given age and actually remember to look at what's going on in front of me - your days look fab and I hope they continue for you!

There's no right or wrong - the girls were on 12.5 hour nights forever (and still are, for that matter!) so just go with what works for her. If it is going well then don't mess with it!

thanks girls, the only reason I ask is because I am the queen of cautious and spent SO much time in UT land with DS. I have to keep telling myself she is not DS!

FX you're on the up and up, Becky.

ha ha - knew I would jinx it. Awake at 5.35am.
Thought it was UT but she fell asleep with DH on the sofa about ten past 6 until 7am......

So at least you know OT I suppose  Hang in there Kiddo. Have you gone with midday nap yet 

x.

[*Becky*]

yes, been doing that for about 4 days. She did a 2 hour nap today which I then had to wake her from so we could go out with H
A - 5.35am (back to sleep 6.10am ish-7am)
Nap - 12.15-2.15pm
BT?
I think I am going 7.15pm....
If she had woken at 7am then that would probably be too short a day but think that she does get OT easily and she did wake at 5.30am today.....

what are peoples opinions in general about capping naps at 2 hours at this age? I always did it with H as I knew he would not do more than 13 hours in 24 so that worked well but if she is likely to get OT I don't want to make an issue yk?

Asleep at 7.15pm...not hopeful as bedtimes past 7pm in the past have not gone well but tbh if I don't take the opportunity to push the day forward a bit then it will never happen eh!?

Becky, I'm sure with you being a TS Mod, that you know as well as I do that it is such a tricky question because of how diverse our LO's sleep needs are. For eg my Step Step Sister's little girl has just turned 1. My SS did GF (you know who I mean) to the letter with her Son, now 7 and her DD. Lydia's nap is capped to 45 minutes already or she just will not sleep a decent night  My SS had a personal call with GF and this is what she recommended and it has worked a dream. She is happy and consistently sleeping 12 hour STN. So honestly Hun, I think most of us can only speak from our own experiences first and foremost but go with your MI, and trust yourself  . As long as you don't cap drastically and quickly and 'fall out' should be manageable YK 

How did it work out last night

not bad. Asleep for 7.15pm and awake at 6.30am but I did hear her about 5am and earlier in the night too.
Got a 50 min nap today...
