Nws + EWs + short nights are back.What do I do with this kid????

[koe2moe]

Sunlight is definitely a problem for us until I got foil on windows plus black out curtains!!!  We also use a rolled up big towel for the door!!

Not sure if it applies to you, but I also figured that when we turned off white noise, DS would always wake, it was around 11:30.   I found out that the little clock I had in there to watch for bt and NW and EW, etc was ticking so loud that it disturbed him.  Groclock probably doesn't make a sound.  But light was the worst!!!  

Posted the same time as Huby!  It is definitel worth trying.

Thanks Huby We are using a dark blanket over the blackout curtain ATM and it still doesn't work I put a towel today as suggested I hope it helps though. I'm not very keen on buying another blackout curtain at this point in time as this is our second one and we could do with saving some money ATM. By all means please PM me the link I perhaps can keep it for future reference.

 I'm saying it might be the daylight but tbh I'm not sure if it's as he used to have the same EWs even in winter ? I think I subconsciously try and find a reason for the EWs to make myself feel better

Hi Koe , posted the same time as you. Lol groclock doesn't make any noise. X

[koe2moe]

I also wondered but we had EW and NW also in winter but these foil really helped!!  Hehe   Can it be sounds of birds??  Garbage trucks or buses which start running around 5??? 

[Grants]

Garbage collection doesn't happen that early in our area. The foil can look really dodgy Koe lol. People will think that I grow marijuana. Haha. We did have some paper on the widown in the past but it drove me mad trying to take the paper off every morning.

I was worried that my neighbors opposite might complain but they haven't!  I guess I am beyond caring about physical appearance and it goes for myself also..  Hmmm  not good LOL

[Grants]

Lol. Same here for the appearance. I need to lose some weight but can't be bothered dieting

[koe2moe]

Lol it isnt just the weight, hair, clothes, just the general appearance!!  ...rather sad

[huby]

At least you ladies have an excuse...

As for the blind - it's around £24, it's not really a blind per say. It's a large piece of thinck cream blackout material (looks like normal material) and you attach it to the PVC bits at the side of your windows using removable velcro). The velcro comes off using nail varnish remover or anything with acetate, but otherwise stays in place)
So it sticks to the actual pains and therefore a) looks good, b) achieves total blackout c) during the day, you just roll it up and clip it in place (I use clothes pegs in wood with little dinosaurs on them to match her non blackout blind)

Anyway, it works and you get total blackout without the dodgy look.

As for appearance. I need to lose a stone and a half, dye my hair and shave my legs (and I'm getting my sleep now)...what's my excuse!

1 Nw +4.30 wake up.The towel didnt make a difference. Its not even that bright this morning. Its cloudy and raining.

I know I said I would go with the flow but this is ridiculous !!!! He was asleep at 7:45pm last night( this is the earliest I can managed on nursery days as he is just so wound up to go down early ). He is on a 1.5 nap. Perhaps it's too long . He is with me today . What should I do? The only way this kid sleeps a bit longer in the morning is when i push him too hard with short naps and late BT. I had enough of this!!!!Argh!!!!

[Grants]

And God help me today.4:30am wake up and M is with me the whole day plus it's raining 

[Grants]

I took him out this morning and he slept in the pushchair at 9:50am on the way back home.(I’m not surprised after 9 hours night and 4:30 wake up)  I will leave him to sleep. He could do with catching up and I could do with the break

[koe2moe]

Oh no!!!!  More hugs!!  I wonder if kinesiology can ask his body what he needs to sleep longer, like our friend who needed to lose weight to qualify for competitive sport and got the answer from kinesiologist on what not to eat to lose the weight and it worked!!!

[Grants]

Perhaps I can ask my practitioner tomorrow . I was going to ask her to test him fir serotonin . Perhaps I can ask her to ask that ? Not sure she would do it ? Do you think that Naet practitioner would do that kind of thing ? 

[Kay Dee]

Haven't read through all the thread but have you tried shortening the nap a little? Sounds like it's a bit too long and eating into his nights. There's only so much these kids will sleep!

I think we use the same blinds as you huby! They're great.
