Almost 14 months and napping gone out the window

[lilybug25]

We had lots of issues with nw and ew but thanks to a short c/n in the am and a longer pm nap all that has cleared up , LO is sleeping 12-13hrs at night waking up happy and ready to go at around 6:30-6:40am everyday. Now she has refused a cap nap and went down to 1 nap a day it was 1.5-2 hrs then BAM went down to 1 hr which resulted in a early bedtime(5:30-5:45pm). Today she only slept 25 mins woke up freaking out would not go back to sleep. I know that 1 hr isn't enough as she wakes up after every nap crying and freaking out, whinning for at least 45 mins after she gets up then bouts of meltdowns for the rest of the day, it's wearing me right out. APOP works less then 20% of the time and as we are into another cold snap taking her out in the stroller isn't a option, (I don't own a car either). Here is our EASY for the last week-week and a half:
6:30- wake up
6:45-cup of milk-4oz
8:00- breakfast
10:00-lunch
11:00-bed(asleep in 5 mins)
12:05-up
1:00-snack and milk
3:00-supper
5:00-oatmeal and 4oz cup of milk
5:30-bed(asleep by 5:45pm)
I would like a 2hr nap so bed could be later and the morning could start later too!!

I would push that nap back to 11.30-noon after a 12-13hr night she can probably do more A time in the morning.

[lilybug25]

I've tried pushing it back to 11:15 so tomorrow I'll push it back till 11:30 and see how it goes, Thanks babybarr

[lilybug25]

Lo had a freak out at 10:30am( got up at 6:30am) so I put her to bed at 11am-she slept 1hr and 20 mins, she had 11.5 hrs last night as she refused to go to bed until 7:15pm last night. I am getting so very very sick of this.

[babybarr]

What's the teeth situation - the freaking out sounds like pain?

The shortish nap sounds like UT, is there any way you can get her later - perhaps a TV program for a bit or quiet time with books?

[lilybug25]

It is pain , I give her natural med and a froazen carrot and it does the trick in less then 5 mins. I am going to put her to bed at 6:00pm tonight and do a 5 hr A time tomorrow and see if that helps.

tagging along.. having similar problems with my LO.  I'm going to start my own thread too.  Hugs to you Lilybug - I feel your pain!

[lilybug25]

Lo didn't go to bed till 7pm again, I know it's from being OT but I put her to bed at 6pm for goodness sake. I hope she sleeps late tomorrow morning!

[babybarr]

Keep me posted and def try pushing that nap.  Good luck!

Oh and you sound like you need a few ((((hugs)))) on the way!

[lilybug25]

Thanks for the hugs Laura, I need Them.
Whatever plan I had for the day is shot, lo went to bed at 7pm, was up every hr from 12-3am and DH alarm clock woke her up at 4am!! It's almost 6:30am and we are going back to bed SOON! I think I slept 2 hrs all night.

[babybarr]

That sounds like teeth to me!  Frequent NW usually indicates pain.  Do you give paracetamol for nights?

[lilybug25]

I give her a homeopathic teeth drops before bed and sometime the teething gel too, I have Temptra it's acetaminophen which I think is the same thing as paracetamol. I just gave her a dose and hopefully it works or helps before bed which will be in half a hour (I hope)

[babybarr]

I have Temptra it's acetaminophen

Yup the same!

Hope it helps.

[lilybug25]

It help she went down at 8:15am and slept for 1hr and 45 mins, she would not go back down so I just put her to bed now at 5pm and thats a 7 hr a time!! She is so very Ot she is whinning/crying herself to sleep(she stopped as I was typing this so 1-2 mins and now quite). I gave her Temptra and the teething drops 1/5 hr before bed and the gel 10 mins before. She was clutzey all day and kept hurting herself and crying but the weird thing is she mastered the word millk today even though she didn't drink any day( never drinks her milk when she's OT/sick/teething). And radomly also figured out the sign we use for hungry( we put hand to mouth then touch belly, she points to her chest thats her way lol). So every time she was hungry she let me know and everytime she wanted millk I gave it to her, she may not have drank it but WOW what a day!!!

[lilybug25]

woke up at 6pm with a raging fever, took 2 hrs but I got it under control and feed her again, bum change and more natural teething drops then back to bed, took less then 4 mins to get her to sleep- I hope she sleeps throu till after 6am tomorrow!!

Just check on Lo as she is moaning in her sleep, I went in and her forehead is hot yet again, gonna be a long night again I think
