21 month old interrupted and short naps!!!

[Syedoo]

hi,

dd is 21 months old. she recently had all her canine teeth come in which ruined her perfect schedule of a 2 hour nap and an 11 to 12 hr night.
ever since then her naps are getting wonkier than ever! she wakes up at the 50 min mark and the 1.20 mark each nap. she is definitely not ut as when dh or I go in and sit with her, she continues the rest of her nap till woken at the 2 hrs mark. I can't sit w her anymore as I have a newborn baby (10 days old) and that's usually feeding time.

is it possible her teeth aren't fully in and that's why she is still waking?

any advice appreciated. had two screaming kids right now and had yo leave the elder home to just cry for a bit.

it is possible it is teeth.

could you post your current routine so we can take a look xx

I tried to adjust my routine thinking she may need an increase in a time but it didn't help.

wake - 8 - 1.30 (tried 6 hrs but was up at 30min as well as 50)
sleep - 1.30 - 2.20, then until 2.40 or 2.50
sleep for the night at about 7.30 due to short nap
she then does between 11.5-12.5 hrs at night.

before the entire thing got messed up, she was doing a 5.5 a time.e, 2 hr nap and a 5 hr a time to bed.

any suggestions??

thank u so much!

Sorry - been ill and just seen this!
So teething is over  - is that right?
Sometimes after teething things go a bit wonky as lo's tend to get out of their routine.
She is doing a very good night so I think we can say she is not too OT.
Maybe try 5.45 A and see if that makes any difference? It may just be a case of seeing how things go for a few days and sticking with a time - we can then work from that.
