[JaspersMum]

Well I think I'm on to cutting the am nap from 40 minutes to 30.  I got pm nap refusal today, so early bed tonight.

[Julianne1984]

Ah nap refusal is the worst! we've had some mega refusals recently. But it's a pain when you suddenly have to rush to get them to bed early.x

[JaspersMum]

Sure is.  I had DH yelling at me to let him finish off his bits and pieces before getting DS in the bath!

[Julianne1984]

Ah they don't get it. It's like: uh-oh no nap, oh no! We must do dinner NOOOW GO GO GO!! Hurry up, bathtime!! Lol xx

[Julianne1984]

I realised that T's 2hr naps only started a few days ago, just before he came down ill,and I really hope they don't go back to one hr when he's better eek! X

Hmm 2 hour naps are GONE!! Argh!! X

[Julianne1984]

He was up at 6am today woop! No NWs and I'm going for one nap today... he has a cold still but has been running round like normal, but with a stuffy nose and cough,so he shouldn't be much more tired than normal... X

Julianna, sorry to hear DS is ill But yay for no NWs. I wonder when I can ever say that again These teeth are way too bothersome.

Rachel, can't believe you are down to 30 mins in the AM now!!

Today DD did a total of 1hr 50 mins on daytime sleep. Have no idea whether that's too much or enough? We'll see what time she wakes tomorrow. Can't say I"m too enthusiastic about the night Last night was awful, poor little thing kept waking up and crying in pain. I gave some meds but didn't seem to do too much good.

Priya have you tried nurofen?  Sometimes better than panadol.

We got pm nap refusal AGAIN today.  We got an early wake of 6am (although I probably can't call it that as he had 11.5 hours sleep) and then my mum said he didn't go down til 11am!!!  Only slept 45 minutes though.  She tried a pm nap but no go.  I am very tempted to say to MIL tomorrow to just do one nap 4.5-5 hours from wake up.

This is all doing my head in!!

I think from Thu though I will try out my 30m am nap plan.

[Julianne1984]

Good luck with the short naps.

*sigh* I sent my OH out with lo lastnight at 5pm totry and get him 15m catnap to get him to bedtime, and OH came back 30mins later!! So LO was up an extra hr and went to bed at 7:30pm was expecting a rough night but no NW's, and up at 5:50 :| not too bad I guess. Xx

Have had a very weird few days . . two days of 40 minutes of day sleep only (pm nap refusal) then a day with MIL and he has 3 hours day sleep!!  Today woke at 6am after a 10.5 hour night so thought I'd take him for a walk to get his 30 minute nap but it didn't happen - that pram aint as good as the car anymore!  So got home, had half his lunch and then put him down at 11am!  Waiting for him to fall asleep now . . .

[Julianne1984]

We've had funny naps too, 3 x 30mins on Tuesday, 2 x 30mins yesterday, and he's not even had 10hrs sleep in the night (7:30-5:20!) So in the last 24hrs he's only had 10hrs50mins!!! EEK huge OT cycle I think... xx

[JaspersMum]

Gee those 30 minute naps are weird!!!  Definitely sounds OT!!

DS slept for 2 hours 20 minutes!!  Bed at 6.30pm . . but not yet asleep!

[Julianne1984]

Wow your lo had a great nap!

Trying to get T to sleep,been up 4hrs and thought early nap was a good idea, but he's been moaning for 4m when he would 99% of the time go straight to sleep. I bet it'll be another 30minute nap... ugh. We even had 30m of sleep-fighting before bed lastnight. That's not happened for MONTHS! Even with OT/UT always straight to sleep or quiet. I feel like we're back to square one at 11months! Just don't have the energy or patience for anything at all today.xx

[Julianne1984]

A 5:20
S 9:20-11:20 (2hrs woop!)
S 18:00 (REFUSED pm catnap big time!)

He's gone to bed OT as he properly refused to sleep pm, little beggar... I expect we'll be up at 5am after several nw's, ugggghhh... xx
