I've only medicated once and that was last night, after the no nap and I had him in bed at 6.40pm and he was asleep within five minutes but I was in the room with him, sitting on a chair on the other side of the room. I think I'll have to try medicating for naps too and maybe I will try an earlier nap, perhaps at the 5.5 hour mark. He's got to be tired because the last two mornings we've been out and about in the car and I've had to prod him to keep him awake!
Nicole he hasn't done a two hour plus nap since he got sick, and I'm quite happy for the nap to be 1-1.5 hours. We had a few days like that and then he'd do an 11 hour night which was great but we still get the screaming and holding me hostage in the room - I don't know if its him playing with me or if he really needs me cause he's in pain. He seems to have grown so much in the past week, his language has exploded and we've had so many more tantrums due to not getting his own way. He won't even let me open a fruit bar for him, he's got to do it himself!
Tonight has been a disaster because we had a wedding so when we left at 9.30 he threw a fit, was hysterical the whole way home and didn't fall asleep, with me in the room, until 10.30pm! So he'd been awake for practically 16 hours with no sleep!
