God, it's been ages since I posted here! So glad to be back in familiar surroundings though
Anyway...my daughter's just turned 16months. In about February we kind of accidentally moved to 1 nap days, basically cause she had a playgroup from 9.30-11.30 on a Tuesday. She would crash out for almost 3 hours afterwards so i started pushing her awake times the other days and she seemed to make the switch without many problems.
In the past 2 weeks however she's been taking a long time to settle at night (crying for upto 2 hours sometimes!) and her wake up times are getting earlier and earlier. Most days she's awake around 4.50/5.00!!
We try to resettle her using WI/WO and it's so obvious she's not ready to get up, but she's inconsolable
Obviously this has a knock on effect on her naps, but she's still been doing 1 long nap and then an early bedtime. I have a horrible feeling she's just so completely overtired (even though she doesn't show it) that things are just getting out of hand and every day it's just getting worse
Today she woke just before 5 and has been so sleepy all morning that I just put her back to bed (with no complaints) at 8.50!! I plan on only letting her sleep for about 40mins and trying for a longer nap later, but it's just so hard cause I'm worried she'll resist a nap later and then her only nap will have finished around 9.30!!! We've been 'sleep training' Ruby on and off since she was 2 weeks old, and avoid AP, so we're no strangers to hard work. What does everyone think?!
p.s. my ticker's wrong, just incase you were confused about her age...no time to change it at the moment!mlol
