Well, the story so far......dd who is 2y8mo old has never slept v well. Our routine at it's best- a few mo ago-wake 0545-0615, nap at nursery 1230 ish for max 1 hr 30 mins. Bath and bed 1945-2000. After bed time routine we just put her in her room and she wud and still does sleep. The noon nap has gradually reduced from 2&1:2 hr. Now for past week or so, the morning wakings are about 0515-after which she basically calls out for me. I'll go in settle her only for her to call 10 mins later. We've always told her she can't come out of her room till 6 and she seems to understand that. Most days she is in an ok mood but the others, she is cranky arleast till her noon nap. The only day she got up singing and jumping on the bed was when she woke at 0715!!! But that wud be too late coz we need to leave home by 0745!! I'm not greedy but a wake around 6....now even 0545 dosent seem that bad. I'm not sure she's ready to drop her nap coz she seems to need that and us always in a better mood in the pm. The pm bedtime can be brought forward but not by much coz we get home by 1800, then meal and bath!! Should I get a clock for her room. I've been on the look for a large simple digital clock but im not sure she'll get it. I'm at the end of my tether. Me and dh work- I'm due to undergo surgery next week, and I feel shattered. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've always got help from you ladies and I'm hoping for more. Many thanks
