Agree 100% with the early nap. But he is at nursery today and that's why asked them to watch his cues and put him down earlier. But according to the carer he refuses early naps there as he knows the other kids are playing and he wants to stay awake. But I hope he gives in to the tiredness and goes down earlier today. He is at home tomorrow so we will catch up.  X

Thanks Koe :) no early nap today at nursery. He had his normal 12:00 to 1:30pm and was in a wonderful mood at drop off and pick up. It took him 45 mins to fall asleep with our help. After 25 mins and lots of jumping on the bed and singing  ::) I gave up and swapped with DH. M has no respect for me when he is OS, I'm too soft at BT and he knows it, so he just carries on trying his luck with me. He was asleep at 7:45pm. I will def do a big catch up tomorrow.

We are doing fine. Touch wood. Lol Thanks for asking Laura :) M is sleeping better at night. It def seems to be mostly linked to M's finding it difficult to handle stimulation. Inability to switch off.  It only took me 2 years to figure it out . Lol On the days I'm not able to do 1.5 hours wind down he ends up having NWs. It def seems to be a correlation. But... Correlation doesn't mean causation, so who knows what will come next????? Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the moment :)

Thank you Sian! He is 100% better now. It was probably a weird 24 hours virus  :-*

Hi ladies,

Things a pretty bad, yet again. *sign* M is back having long NWs again. Last night he was up for 1 hour or so and the night before 2 hours, and of course he never wakes up later than 5:20am. ::) I really don't know how he manages to carry on like this. I'm knackered !!!

All I'm doing at the moment is making sure that I offer as much sleep as I can with early naps and early BTs whenever is possible. I'm not trying to fix the EWs anymore as I know nothing really works but having NWs and EWs is a bit too much. I also don't understand why he never ever has a lie in after having a bad night????

Not anymore. Only at nursery (1 1/2 hours) as he naps later there so if I allow him to sleep for as long as he like he will not go to bed until 9:30 or 10pm.

At home I will let him nap for as long as he likes(which is normally only 1 hour and 45 mins) because I put him down at 10am so I know he will have enough A time until BT.

Teeth - shall we blame them?! ;)

I wonder if the change in the schedule doesn't help?  So one night he's going to bed at 9.30pm and the other nights 7pm??  I would think it *may* be unrealistic for him to do 11hr nights some nights and only 9hrs another (not that I know what the solution is I'm afraid!)

Could you cope with a later bedtime until he drops the nap?
