STTN again last night  ;D ;D

Now that the nights are a bit more sorted we are beginning the 2-1 switch now, so her usual am nap time is 10am, today we put her down at 11 and she slept until 1am. I hope to push it out a bit each few days, will obviously be aiming for an earlier bedtime tonight no later than 6:30 (usually 7:30) so hopefully we won't get any OT NWing. Although she seems to be handling much longer A times all of a sudden and taking two hours to fall asleep for her pm nap  :o if she has one at all.

Feeling much more confident to handle nights now thanks to everyones help  :-*

Well we tried 1 nap for 1 day and despite an early bedtime she woke at 1:30am really upset, I guess it was OT, felt like a bit of a step backward in terms of how upset she was but was still quick to resettle her - prob 10 mins.

So yesterday I went back to two naps and she actually took the pm one and she called out about 10:30 but resettled herself so another STTN.

I'm still so pleased because previously if you heard her call out at night you knew it was going to escalate.

Well I consider this a success story for WI/WO so am going to post the link under there  ;D

I really thought it would be tough to break the habit of her expecting to be picked up after 11 months of being picked up but think it was really just two tough nights. Shes STTN more regularly than ever and resettles since the sleep training have only taken 10 mins tops since. Hope I'm not jinxing it by writing it!  :P
