fingers crossed for what you said kelly.

BTW the day has been a disaster so far after a 5:30am wake up, he slept at 9:00am for 35/40mins and has been up since then..so who knows maybe its the wretched 2-1 transtition as well.

Tempted to do it cold turkey once we are back, but everyone warns against it.

Mukta, the reason why we did W2S at 3am was exactly for that same reason you mention : at 4am it would be too risky to do it, since Lena would be too rested to get back to sleep if the W2S would fail and sheīd wake up completely. At 3am, she was still in her deep deep sleep.

Re. the 2-1 switch : I know advice is to keep 2 naps going as long as possible and I was so scared to make the switch too but in the end, we had to and I had to listen to what Lena was trying to tell me by having 2 crappy naps (or rather, 1 crappy nap and a refused nap) and since making the switch, she has never napped better and her nights have been consistently good. (untill 2 days ago, when she woke early but thatīs because she has a nasty cold/cough but thatīs another story)
We did an early bedtime during the first 2 weeks of our switch to avoid OT.

I was adament on keeping her on 2 naps untill she hit 14 months at least but she decided against that  ;D

Iīm sorry to hear you had a bad night again  :-*
Good luck xx

the 3am makes sense, will probably try that out tonight and see if it makes a difference...as for the transition I think its upon us, the lats 2 days naps the pm naps have been bad and today the am nap was bad, lets see how the day goes.

But you give me hope..or rather a dream that post transition DS might sleep well :D

thanks!

Hi Mukta!
Just wanted to wish you a really good time away! They are right that you should take a break from sleep training, both for your own and DS's sake. Everything's different anyway while you're away so just go with the flow!

Hello ladies.

We are back, and an honest truth really missed BW and was so desperate to log on while on vacation but had to hold myself back :

So vacation went great and DS was an absolute star, happily trooped along, has completely given up NW till date  so hopefully that change is to stay.

But his daytime sleep while on vacation was  a bit shorter than normal, so it normally was 2 naps of abt 45 min each, the max he would ever sleep in a pushchair! But he used to sleep in a bit late in the morning to make up. BUT he has started  a new thing...

he wakes up at a random time in the night, is asleep, eyes shut and all, but tosses and turns and needs me to pat him or comfort him...any thoughts on why? I am thinking being overtired, but would love your guidance.

All through the tossing and turning he is asleep, eyes shut! and then after abt an hr or so he does go back to deep sleep. These wakings have been random.
AM going to let him sleep as much as he likes of the next couple of day to help him come back on track and make up for lost sleep on vacation and will then slowly try and get him back to his usual routine and control his daytime sleep.

As always all guidance is much appreciated and I missed you all :D

Welcome back, glad you had a good time.

For the nightwakings I would try to do as little as possible to allow him to resettle himself.  If he isn't crying and just tossing then I would leave him.  only go to him if it is a real cry, then try shshsh, if that doesn't work then a couple of taps and then stop when he calms.

Well done, looks like you are at the beginning of the end!

Glad he was so good while you were away! Maybe he's having dreams about all the new stuff he's taken in on vacation?
Hope settles into a good routine again now, an even better one with a bit of luck!  ;)

Hi Lis,

Thanks for asking, I feel refreshed for sure but work is quite quickly making me forget how good it was to be away.

Istanbul is absolutely lovely and people are very friendly and love children. Random people would stop us and chat with the LO, absolutely fantatsic and LO loved the attention. The weather was warmer than London and sunny most of the time.

Infact I'd reccomend Istanbul to absolutely anyone who wants to travel for a nice weekend trip with babies. The only caveat, they don;t really do highchairs and changing tables, but we had bought a small booster chair which can be strapped on to restaurant chairs and zips up to the size of a small pillow and that worked great :D

all in all good trip but its great to be back and to be BW again!

Mukta xxxx
