Well it's not like we have better things to do, we can't get our own kids to sleep so we might as well help others lol
That was my thought! LOL

I agree with Wendy - I think while Caleb is still under the weather I wouldn't push too much but as soon as he's better I would move quite quickly.  We would do 30mins jump over night to get a longer nap.

I'm so glad you are feeling happier though.  When I learnt to just accept naps long and short it did help, I just wish  could accept crappy nights...

I hope it sticks Jo and really when you do just relax about it and take a bit of control of the when, it really does seem to get better.  It's not to say it never derails, but you remember your 'happy place' when napping was going well and you felt good about it and it carries you through :-)   

Ditto!

hi ladies, just wanted to update you all, so far we have been having consistant 1 hour 20min naps, i know it sounds short but im happy to settle for that rather than the old 50min naps eek! he doesnt wake at the 50min mark anymore and i keep the nap at the same time everyday at 12.30pm regardless of wakeup time, whether it be 6.30 or 7.30am and today we got our first 7.30am, wakeup in months!! very exciting, weve been having 12-12.5 hour nights most nights. hes still sick so im not sure if this is contributing to the good sleeping but im not complaining! lol

thanks again!!!

Jo it sounds good.  I would keep it up until there is a change i.e. a sign from him i.e. shortening nights, fighting nap, shortening nap drastically.

Way to go Caleb!
The tweaking never stops!

Great news!!  Well done you and Caleb of course ;)

I would just watch if he consistently starts waking at 7.30pm you may have to push the nap back a bit, but lets' see how he goes. :-*
