Thank you SO much Lauren & SM, you ladies are amazing.
Now, I'm not sure what happened tonight but she did the whole scream if I put her down business except it continued from 6 until bedtime. when I was getting her changed she started on a massive screaming fit that took me ages to calm her down from. In the end I gave her a bottle in her room and just held her and tried to reconnect with her and sang some lullabies. It all seemed so strange and she was asleep in 10 minutes despite the afternoon nap. I can't understand how 40 minutes gives me UT but 1hr30/40 gives me OT, which is what I assume it is? I'm wondering if the night where she wasn't asleep until 8pm was OT too as she did the same screaming fit except we were in the car - could she have been OT but then got a second wind?
WU: 6.15
Nap 1: 10.20-10.47 in the car
Nap 2: 1.35; 1.40-3.20 (awake briefly at 2.50 and then a little restless until she woke properly)
BT: screaming from 6pm. Cuddled and sang, gave bottle in dark bedroom put into cot at 6.50; 7.00 asleep.
We have kindy, errands, big car trips and doctors appointments the next few days so it's going to get bumpy. Then my parents have both kids from saturday-monday as we head away for our wedding anniversary. Permission to freak out? lol
