Anyone Want To Talk About the 2-1 Transition? Thread #13

[Buntybear]

We are back on one nap days too. Even with 6-6.30am WUs we still manage 1 nap. Since his nights have got better (after the scratch tests and food eliminations) his A times have shot up. Can easily get 5 hours + now and STTN Finally after a year things seem to be falling into place a bit more! Phew.

Great news Claire!! 

[Buntybear]

Thanks. Still needs to hold my hand to go to sleep though! Need the courage to break that habit but things have only been good for a week so just basking in that now 

[sianie]

Yep, one thing at a time! 

Well done....he really has made big improvements, long may it continue!

[Buntybear]

Hmm, I jinxed it lol! He is crying 45 mins after putting him down for his nap!

[sianie]

Noooooo!!!

[Buntybear]

Wind! Came off his anti biotics yesterday. Fart and a bit of bum patting and he is asleep again. Made me realise I hadn't even made it downstairs yet though. Got caught up here.  Must go and have a bit of Y time on the sofa with a cuppa. LOL

Lol Claire!  I heard Lewis after 30 mins and was thinking Nooooooooooo shouldn't have just posted it was going well, lol.  So I have one child at school, two having a nap and a cleaner currently mopping my kitchen floor, bliss, lol! 

[sianie]

Phew Claire!

Sian - Off topic but how's the 1-0 nap dropping going?  This is the first nap Ethan has had in over a week now and think naps are well on the way out.  Will probably just try and get him to have one every so often when he starts getting grumpy!

[sianie]

Well we had planned to give a no nap day a go last week when DH had a week off work but it kinda backfired as we ended up being busier than usual & did more activities so Megan was really tired & desperate for her nap! This week is a bit quieter so I'm playing things by ear....but I'm also a total chicken about her not having a nap, lol!!! I think it would actually be easier if she was refusing naps but she isn't, it's just creating a problem at BT/WU! 

[~Karen~]

Does cutting it back to say 45 mins or an hour not help?  I'll have to pop over to the dropping the nap thread!

[lilybug25]

Well after many ups and down we are fully on one nap days now. If lo sleeps 2.5-3 hrs for a nap she sleeps 11 hrs at night, if only a 1.5 hr nap we get a 12-13 hr night. If we do get a nw it is never last more then 30 mins, usually a bum change then back off to bed.
This is going to sound like a oscar speach but I would like to thank everyone how has helped me go through the transition, whos answer my questions, giving me advise and just been there for me. I really couldn't have done it without all of you  , so THANK YOU!!!!

[sianie]

Yep catch-up with me on the 1:0 thread Karen! 

Lilybug - that is great news, so pleased to here your update!!!

I need thoughts on A time after a 35 min nap.
The first A time was 3h20m. He was asleep with in about 9 minutes. So total A time 3h29m. He woke on his own at about 32/35min. I'm not sure which one. He seems fine.
This happened the other day and I gave him a 3 hour A time for the second A time. He went down with no fuss. But, then he only slept a tad over an hour. Usually when that happens that means OT for us. But, I don't want to risk him refusing the second nap either.

Up until about a week ago I was giving him 3 hours after a 45min morning nap, but then he started refusing the second nap.
