Odd behaviour in my 32m old

[HenaV]

Thanks hon. I feel like she's really been through the mill recently. That's probably why I'm hesitant to change to much yk.

I must admit I just can't see the wood for the trees with her ATM. I think it's just been a rough ride all round.

Happy Mother's Day btw, I hope you had a lovely day x

Happy Mother's Day to you too. We had a reasonable day but E is absolutely shattered and we had several horrible tantrums in public

We went for the earliest BT we've ever done (6pm new time) and without any milk before bed so we may regret it but she's gone off quietly, and we're going to head for an early night (so tired).

Hope you have a good night xxx

[HenaV]

You too hon. Big (((hugs ))))

Happy Mother's Day to you both

Thanks Sara!

Well yesterday/this morning looked  like this:

30th March

WU: 6.55 (new time/5.55 old time) (STTN)
Nap: 2.50-3.50 (new time - woken/ 1.50 -2.50 old time)
BT:7.45 (pd 7.25/6.25 old time)

NW: heard her at 4.15 (3.15 old time) don't know how long she'd been awake. Gave meds. Heard nothing after 4.45 (3.45 old time)

31st March
WU: 7.05 (6.05 old time)

Any thoughts?

[ZacsMumme]

Sorry if I've missed his but have you trie w2s? Are the nw always around 3/4am?

[Buttonbobs]

Good point Sara, I've never tried it myself but might be worth a go.

[HenaV]

Yes they are, and the morning WU 6am. Today she was a monkey and wouldn't go to bed for my MIL. Her day was this:

31st March
WU: 7.05 (6.05 old time)
NND - refused. Got ridiculously upset re: MIL changing poopy nappy and then said she'd only sleep if she could sleep on MILs lap or If MIL sat in the chair - mil did it. She started to nod off, mil left, end of nap! She shouldn't have stayed in the 1st place!!
BT: 6pm (PD 5.50pm)

She only usually has this kind of behaviour if she's OT, or maybe when teething. So lets see what the night holds. I think W2S might be an option otherwise. I did consider it given that the NW and WU is always the same. Maybe if I can reset the night the morning will take care of itself *sigh*

Thanks again x

[Buttonbobs]

Good luck for tonight honey x

[HenaV]

Well it's not the nap that's the issue...

4.21 and ping she's awake! It's now 5.10am and I've just given her some meds - in case of teeth. Probably unncessary. I'm not convinced that's the issue. I guess I'm just hoping she'll just go to sleep!

So I guess it's time to try W2S 

[ZacsMumme]

Yup give it a go. I find when Z is poorly and his sleep gets disrupted sometimes he needs 'resetting' with w2s or he starts to habitually wake YK?

[HenaV]

Thanks hon. Well this morning, right on cue 6.55am! I think I'm relieved to find it's not the nap. You know when you're sure that it's not the issue but something else amiss!

I've only done w2s a couple if times with R, and I think doing it around 30/40m before the 'WU time' did it - does that sound about right?

H xx

Ps - I have her meds and she went straight off - they wouldn't have kicked in that quick, so I'm thinking either she'd been awake for a while and was ready or more like placebo effect of either the meds or me going in? When she was unsettled I was going in to tell her it was sleep time etc. Maybe that's created a problem?

[Buttonbobs]

Urgh - we were up for an hour from 3am too. Was definitely teeth for E but it does sound like something else could be playing a part for R. I would go for 30/40 mins before the usual NW time. Good luck sweetie x

[ZacsMumme]

Honestly since Z was 2 and older I've always just gone in anywhere from 1.5 hrs to 30 mins before the WU and it's worked your just resetting the sleep cycles really and for Z it's usually a 3 hr cycle so I just did it when I woke myself as I'm a rubbish sleeper myself and always wake at night.

[HenaV]

Thanks ladies!

I have to say I am torn between teeth and 'something else' for R.
Her teeth are Definately playing a part but I'm not sure they are the root cause.

Big hugs Naomi, you have my every sympathy!! Poor E though, it must  be awful x
