Laura, I did that many time but not intentional, but DS just woke at the same EW time, usually 5:00-5:30, and had much less sleep than usual and a few NWs also :(

Hi Koe,  I don't really tweak every day I always try to do at least for 7 days . I used to do it for 10 days but I haven't got much patient for it
These days.the last tweak was for 1 day as I want to see if he needed  a longer nap as he was/is having very short nights but he had 3 nws and one of them was for almost 2 hours that's why I didn't do it the next day as he was not having nws with only one hour nap. But I normally don't tweak for a day. Laura ,I understood that you meant an one off super late Bt. That's what I intend to do. If it doesn't work I will then slowly shift his nap to 1 pm. Koe, I don't really want to do the super late bt for longer than a day. Miguel crashes and burns after 2 days and wants his naps too early (like 10am) defeating the objective that's why I want to try it only once.X

I was just wondering as m seems to be doing all the same things my lobwas doing before I cut her day nap down. EW then two hrs of night waking. The bedtimes got later by default and yes she did sleep in later a wee bit but it was a hell of a night to get there and then had catch up nap then same thing wld start again.
It's tricky I know. My lo was on a four hr motorway journey last night starting at her bedtime n didnt fall asleep til 3 hrs later!!she was happy playing with her toes and singing then sttn. Wish I knew how to figure em out sometimes!

Hi ladies,

Last post was bit rubbish as I posted from my phone. I only managed to get to a computer today.

Thanks Koe. TBH I don’t really think it will work, but I must try.  There is no logic to M:(  He woke up at 4:30am on Wednesday, 5:20am on Thursday and 4:30am today. We had the same  BT and the same nap length every day so I why does he wake up at different times??????  ::)

This morning we brought him to our bed at 4:30am and he didn’t fall asleep again. Dh and I spent the whole hour trying to keep him quiet. I have never heard of a kid who doesn’t fall back to sleep when brought to the parents bed. *sign*

Laura. Do you think I must let M nap longer on the day I try the’ super late BT’? I’m worried he might not be able to be awake until late on only 1 hour nap?

Yes I definitely think let him sleep as long as he will.

We're also getting rubbish sleep again too - I told you our two were really separated at birth ::)

Did you see the gro clock thread? ALl the hard core EW's slowly started waking later and later....

 Pardon me if you have already been through this before.... he seems old enough for it at 1 year 8 months.
