Hi honey
Just caught up on other thread and this one, glad things are beginning to get better for you.  I was beginning to be convinced it was just that she needed less sleep, but I guess you have to assume otherwise until you've tried every avenue, and you certainly have done that.

Stick with the fixed routine it does seem to be working and it did before for short burst's.
Keep in mind too that she is slap bang in the middle of the first nap refusal age range, when lots of LO's go through spells of nap refusal for no apparent reason, i know Lily did!

Hope 'your' doing OK too.
Love Nik x

Back to 4.50 this morning! although she did fall back to sleep after approx 40 mins for another 40mins.  I knew this would prob happen as she had zero sleep yesterday in the day apart from 20 mins or so in the car.

Hi

sorry about the early wake up, but honestly going back to sleep is still really great. When B was doing short nights she would only go back to sleep after 1.75 hrs!!! Yes, thats when we all needed to be up anyway....

Hi guys, she went down real easy for her nap and although she woke at 1hr she went back for another 30 mins which was good, so going out yesterday did not mess her up too much.

That is the prob she wakes at different times.  Also I tried for her nap at 12pm today as that is the time she is normally asleep by but she was showing no signs of tiredness although she did fall asleep but only had 1 hr,  should I have still stuck to times or made nap later? I guess because she woke later and took 11hrs in total overnight she did not need as long for nap time but obs now it is a longer time til bed as she normally does not finish until 13.30!
Cheers,
