That's good he wasn't wide awake when you got home!

Today;

A 6:00
S 10-11
S 14:30-15:15
S 19:00 (hopefully!) Was aiming for 7:30pm but he woke early from his nap with proper teething troubles Given meds and just having bath now. Xx

[Julianne1984]

Omg I realised why he only slept 45mins... I only went and put him down for his nap an hour early! What a numpty!! Oh well... lol xx

[Julianne1984]

Hope you all had good weekends!!

Today:

Up at 5:30am!!
S 10:30-12:00 (he woke at exactly 1hr, again! And fell asleep on me for another 30m)
S 16:00-16:30
S 19:10...

How's everyone getting on? I've gotten T's first A to 5hours now. I'll leave it at that until the weekend then try 5:15, and 5:30. Tonight he should sleep ok as we've not had nw's for a few days but then he was up at 5:30 today so I am expecting the same again xx

[Julianne1984]

Upat... wait for it... 4:40am! Yes you read it right. My OH got in from work and woke him up grrrr! I'm so annoyed and so tired of all this I don't see whyi getto be up 17hrs a day, do all the childcare,  housework, night wakings, everything, and OH gets a few hrs at work then a nice 11hr sleep... xx

HI ladies, I"ve been a bit out of contact for the past few days. We've had to abandon all our 1 nap day success because DD is teething something major!! She's already cut through 2 molars and has 2 canines possibly 3 on the way.. AAAAUUGGGGH!!! She has been so whingy all day since sunday and really really tired so we've really had to cut back our A times and are definitely on 2 naps.

But I'm still trying to do the short AM and long PM nap. Her wake up times have varied each day, but around 7 -7:30ish. But she's still sleeping at 10:30 for the AM nap, and then 2:30 for PM nap, then bedtime around 7:45. But one good thing is that she has just gone to sleep so easily it's been great! Tonight however she was up to her old tricks at bedtime so I wonder whether it's a sign she's getting back to normal. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Julianna, sorry to hear you're having a rough time Hope it goes better for you tonight.
Rachel how are you going?

[Julianne1984]

Hey, T is teething too, he got 4 canines last week and has some molars coming too x

[Julianne1984]

Oh, and his first nap today was 1hr 30mins!! He slept past 60mins woohoo!! Teething has meant 2nap days for us too for the last 3weeks xx

A 4:40
S 9-10:30

Hello ladies, not much to report other than we are getting EWs, am doing the long am (1.5 hours) and short pm (30-40 minutes) but not enjoying it as DS is very grumpy after I wake him from that pm nap and he is a terror until i get him to bed.  Am considering trying a few 1 and 2 nap days.

[Julianne1984]

Aw hope it gets better for you *hug*

Well, yesterday was like this;

A 4:40
S 9-10:30
S 14-14:25
S 19:00

No NW's and he's still sleeping now, it's 5:45! (providing OH doesn't wake him up coming in from work gr!) So I figured,LO needs a long AM A (yesterday wasn't long but he was really tired) and a shorter than 30m nap PM to get a good night. He wasn't OT by bedtime, went straight to sleep as normal... ?!I'm going to drag him out until 11:30 for a nap today (12 even if he wakes after 6am) and see how it goes xx

[JaspersMum]

That's a great am nap Julianne! 

I've decided to slowly extend DS's first A time by 15 minutes every 3 days or so and eventually get rid of the catnap.  Will let you know how it goes!

[Julianne1984]

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm trying to do too...

He woke at 6am woop!And I'm sure that's just because of OH coming in 2 mins beforehand, but hey it's better than 4:40!! I'd be happy with 7pm-6am every day!!

So, 6am wake, I'm going to try 11:15am for his first nap, I bet it'll be 60minutes though :/ xx

[Julianne1984]

He went down fine at 11:15, slept until 12:20. Going to have to give him catnap at 4:30-4:55,bed at 7:15ish. X

[Julianne1984]

19:30-6:00, no NW's again! Yay xx

[JaspersMum]

DS managed 4 hours A time this morning so nap at 10.30am rather than just after 10am.  It was a struggle though getting him to that point!  He slept for 1hr 45m.  I didn't bother putting him down for an arvo nap as he wasn't tired til around 4.30pm and we'd decided to have an early tea at 5pm due to DH going off to work.  He was grumpy around 5-5.30pm though.  He was in bed and asleep at 6.30am so I hope I don't get an EW!!

[shresmummy]

Julianna, YAY!! That is such great news. YOu must be sooooo relieved.

Rachel, that sounds like a good 1 nap day too double yay!

We are still struggling along here. I am not sure what to do with DD anymore. Our routine for the past week or so has been:

Wake - 7ish
AM nap - 10:40ish - 11:25/11:30
PM nap - 2:35 - 4ish
Bedtime - anywhere between  7:45 - 8

She's just been so cranky the past few days that I tried puting her to bed early. Today that backfired and she was lying around playing until 8:20
I am so sick of these teeth. Feeding her is such a nightmare. She fusses, pushes the bowl and spoon away, and today got so mad she pushed her spoon so hard I had a pumpkin shower
