...maybe after 8months I finally got the right A time! :o thing is, he doesn't cry if OT or UT... so that makes it so hard to tell if he is ot/ut or not... he just goes straight to sleep regardless! Hmm... in a way it would be better if he cried at bedtime then i'd have a clue lol.xx

So today has been great. A very happy boy.

A 6:10
S 11:30-13:30
S 18:30

Tomorrow may be a different story though as we have playgroup 10-11:30am, so nap won't be until 11:45ish...hmm I hope he doesn't get too OT and end up napping for only an hour :( Anywho here's to day 3...

How is everyone? Xx

Good to hear some good news Julianne!

We are having a good day too, which is thankful after yesterday.  DS was asleep by 6.40 but woke about 45 minutes later and cried for about 5 minutes before going back to sleep.  He also cried out at 9.30 but I didn't have to intervene.  He woke around 6.30am this morning but happily stayed in his cot (don't know if he dozed) til 7.15am.

Today we have been out to kindergym so he slept in the car from 10.15 til 10.55.  I was really worried he wouldn't go down this afternoon but he did easily at 2.30 and is still asleep.  Will definitely not let him sleep any later than 4pm!

I am thinking the shenanigans yesterday afternoon were the fact that daddy hasn't put him down for a nap for some time and therefore probably didn't do enough of a wind down or give teething gel, etc!  

Julianne I just saw your new post . . maybe he is OT and his body just needs to get used to the new 1 nap routine?  Maybe you have to really give the 1 nap a good week or so for him to settle into a new pattern?

So agreed with OH to do 2naps every 3rd day for a few weeks, or atleast every 3rd: Will do 1 nap every day that he wakes 6am or later. That's the plan, only way to keep me sane! X

Sounds like all that day sleep helped him catch up! 

I'm so sick of having to wake DS and him being grumpy!

Wake - 6.35am (after an 11 hour night)
Nap 1 - 10.20am - 11am (woken)
Nap 2 - 2.50 (took him 20 minutes to fall asleep . . don't know if he was OT or UT?) - 4.35 (woken - we let him sleep as we went out tonight)
Bed and asleep 9.15pm

Have just found a cut molar!!!  Gee its a good feeling when those teeth cut . . and its the one I wasn't expecting - thought the other left one was bothering him more and therefore would cut first but its the right one.  Hurry up left molar!

Yay for the teeth Rachel! I am waiting for my LO's 2 upper canines to pop through. Wondering whether that's the cause for her nap problems. I wish this 2-1 would finish already. I am SO SO over it!

Julianna, poor you! Hope you have a better night tonight.

Canines are bad aren't they. We've not had much teething since they broke through a while ago.

Today:

A 5:00 (some point after 5 we gave up trying to get him to sleep and just deemed today a 2nap day!)
S 9:30-11:30
S 16:00-16:30
S bedtime will be around 18:30, and he's full of cold so am expecting lots of nw's!! OH working all night so I'll be a zombie if lots of nw's again! :o

Hope you've all had good days! Xx
