Another 18mo suddenly refusing to go to bed
« on: April 16, 2007, 18:14:31 pm »
Just read the other post on this, but our situation is different.  Kate has been on one naps since 12 months old so it's not transition.

She is suddenly screaming, throwing a tantrum basically and we have 45 mins sometimes of WI/WO.  Or she goes quiet for 15 mins when I put her down then starts up.  This has happened periodically in the past but ony lastes one or two days, this has been a week now.

She had a tummy bug which she got over about  a week ago.. so it has been since then, perhaps because her routine was out of whack??  but I would have thought a week would have sorted her out.

routine

6.30-7am wake
7.30 breakfast
11.00 lunch
12-12.30 nap for 2 hours
15.00 breastfeed/snack
17.00 tea
18.20 supper (otherwise she wakes at 5am!)
18.45 bath
19.00-19.15 story, prayer and bed

Just a phase? any observations welcome.

I think this is pretty much a phase after the tummy bug.
Sasha did exactly the same thing after she had a tummy bug.I think its a combo of tiredness and sep anx after the tummy bug.
It can take some LOs 2 weeks to get back on track again.
