Hi Yaya just a quickie if you get 5?  Maya did not take her nap until 1pm today, although up at 4.30 so a huge stretch but we could not get her down, she napped just over 1.5 as usual but now what should I do about bedtime? what time still 7pm or later?
Be great if you get chance to give me an answer, as I want to keep things on track.

I would keep the normal bedtime, to prevent the OT monster....she may surprise you and even if she isn't going straight to sleep she is resting in her cot till she falls asleep

Maya fell promptly to sleep at 7pm I could not believe it! she woke at 4.50 hysterical and depiste my best efforts at wi/wo just made her worse, I am not sure if I am supposed to try to get her back to sleep? anyway in the end I was just so tired I climbed into bed with her which I know I prob should not have done but she did go back to sleep after about 1hr of her waking ad slept for nearly another hr til 7.10am!
At least it has extended her overall sleep and she really needed it yesterday after being awake from 4.30-1pm! she was really tryng to get back to sleep really restless and just could not until after 1hr.

Still aimed for 11.30 nap time and she went down just after 12pm, a little resistance but nothing like the last few days.

You know what, I say you're having progress!!! 30mins to fall asleep is very very normal, good some might say : )

Sounds good Rachael!
This is pretty much what I did with Lois, set the times and waited for her body clock to adjust.

We had a later start this morning at 5.16am but no sign of her dropping back off, however she did have a shorter nap yesterday so she is still only doing 11.5 hrs ish.  I cant see her ever taking any more.
