Thanks for following up on this Kelly!

I do let her re-settle although I have to admit it is getting harder and harder to tell the difference these days.  Today was very icky though.  She was great the first nap but the second one she got woken in her transition by the dog barking and since she was borderline overtired (I'm guessing) it was too much for her and I spent the next 45 min shh-pat her... finally stopped and fed her since it was time for her next feed.  Her last nap today is pretty much the same... 45 min then screaming.  Very cranky all-round day for her!!  I think it's an early bed time today...maybe tomorrow she will be happier!  :'(

If the second nap is usually where the difficulties start it's an idea to give her a top-up milk feed before she goes down.  If her belly is fuller she may find it easier to re-settle. 

Here's to a good day tomorrow!
