EWs at 13.5 Mos... Please Help Us Fix This!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Last night's BT was 7:00, and went off easily. I guess she really has been tired.

I did a 4:00 am WTS, and then she slept till 5:50! First time in weeks she's gone beyond 5:15. In total she got ~90 minutes more sleep at night than she has had in weeks.

I hope that means we're making some progress. Today I will try:

A1: 4 hours
S1: 45 mins
A2: 3-3.5 hours
S1: 90 mins
BT: 7:00

Keeping fingers crossed that we can make some headway ...

Good luck!

Great news, micoverde! Here LO is going down easily (I am told, am at work then) for his 1st nap after 4 hrs A time and even for his second at 3 hrs 15 A. Got him to sleep just before 7 pm. He definitely is bothered by teeth or something because he cried for 30-60 seconds or so at 1 and 3 somethings.

He woke at 4:30 am (ugh). He was crying and sitting up, seemed like he really just wanted to get more sleep. I gave him Tyenol and changed him, then fed him and got him back to sleep (had to put my hands on his back in the crib for about 4-5 minutes) around 5:05. He cried out about 10 minutes later but slept til just before 7. So he is slowly catching up on sleep, we hope!!

It sounds like you are making progress.  I agree teeth are likely bothering him, hopefully they come through quickly!

Still struggling here. :-( Yesterday we woke him from first nap at 45 minutes, then despite him being v. tired tried to put him for nap 2 at 3 hrs. He chatted for 30 min, then wet through somehow. So it was nearly 4 hrs A time when he went to sleep...woke up crying in less than an hour. Then chatted again at early bedtime, so he didn't sleep til nearly 7.

Woke crying hard at 1 am. Nursed him back to sleep... only took a few minutes. he kept saying "milk" (milk). Sigh.

Woke at 5:05 am, cried out for a moment then started chatting. Could not get him back to sleep.

S 9:04-9:49 (woke him)
What should we do for second A time? He was so OT yesterday, I think. Wondering if he is showing sleep cues again if we should go even earlier than 3 hrs A... although it is so early a day start we are looking at any early BT again. Thanks!!
