Anyone Want To Talk About The 2-1 Transition? Thread #18

[lily528]

ugh i've been there...just try again around 2 I think....certainly can't hurt right?  and if it's a no go...EBT at 6 and wait for a new day

[lily528]

well it happened!!!!!....I pray I am not jinxing myself but Ava slept 2 straight hours!!!!!!!!!!!   NOT 1 hr 40 mins...NOT 1 HR 50 MINS...but 2 whole heavenly hours....hallelujah!!!!   I can't believe it...11:30-1:30!!!

whew sorry I just had to celebrate..hopefully this is not premature celebration but the start of what is to come...consistency consistency consistency...I AM a believer...today anyway LOL  



Um OMG she actually layed back down for another 20 mins. Shocked...

[Smurfette]

Um, ok.
 I've just looked in her mouth and she has 2 bulging gums (left and right ) on her bottom gums and little white dots on both. So my kid is getting 2 molars at once?
Grrrrreat! I love it.
Please, let's add more fun over here!

[lily528]

Awe that at least explains a lot. Lunch rub gums meds and try for a nap?

[Smurfette]

Yeah, but in the meantime, how do I get more sleep in her? Lol. I'll try a short A time today and see how that goes, otherwise it's EBT.

And super big congrats Melissa on that nap...I can only dream!!!

[choc]

Oh my god I am so jealous right now!

Smurfette, Aidan has 4 molars cutting right now!

[lily528]

Def try and if not what time are u planning to EBT?  For the 2nd nap maybe do a shortened version of what you did for the first nap?  Keep us posted.

And thank you. You will have days like this too. I am not getting too excited but for today....it feels good 😃

[lily528]

So now my dilemma is the right BT...any suggestions??? 

5:30 WU but b2s after bottle
6:50 WU start to the day
11:30-1:50 nap 2 hrs 20 mins (last 20 was an unexpected resettle and a bit restless but..)
?     BT


My main concern is the EW's ugh they are awful especially when they don't go back to sleep. She seems to sleep later with EBT's but I mean a 1:50 WU from a 2 hr 20 min nap doesn't exactly call for an EBT. Just always seem to get an EW on a later BT of 7 or so but then again we aren't usually working off such a long nap....what do u think?

Kara I get long maps what would/do you do?  This is new territory for me lol. Hopefully one that sticks around

Go Ava! What a star. 11.30 was our magic time too for some reason. What a little star she is!
I would go for BT for 7 a 12 hr day. hopefully if rested at BT the process will repeat

[clairebear79]

Agree with Sara.  Was just going to post the same.  A time to nap was less than 5hrs so I would definitely to 5hrs to naptime.

And YAY Ava!!!!!

Ladies we are now at 5hrs A.  O was up at 6am today (11.5hr night after a horrendous 7hr A time to BT).  He napped at 11am & slept 1.5hrs.  Woke fairly happy.  Refused CN again, so EBT at 6pm, asleep 6.10.  So far....no OT WU's for the first time in ages.  I live in hope that we will start to have longer naps soon!

[lily528]

thanks guys that is what I was thinking too...fingers crossed this is just the start of good things to come

[ZacsMumme]

Good 1 Claire I really think you are making great progress...well O is, but because of you!
Hope the night goes well Melissa

[choc]

Well done on all the successes today!

I am praying for no NWs tonight, though I know these molars are still cutting 

[*Kara*]

Wow ladies!!!  Things are going great here! 

Melissa - I would do a 7pm bedtime too   Good job Ava on the 2 hr 20  min nap!!!!

Gemma - meds before bedtime should help with those molars...

Claire - YAY O!!!  Sounds like some good progress   Give it a few more days and edge that morning A time another 10 mins   He will get there!

As for us - Alexandra seems to be over her cold now - runny nose is gone!  But for the last couple of days, we have had some early mornings!  545am twice (not an EW technically since she has been sleeping at 650pm).  But that's what happens when she naps more than 2 hours now!  I can't believe that we have gone from having 3 hours day sleep and 10 hour nights to 2 hours day sleep and 11 hrs + at night.  What a difference!  She really does fine with less day sleep when her nights are that long - much sounder sleep for both the nap and at night.

So, today I am trying to get her back on course with napping time... she was doing a whopping 4 hr A time when sick, so I pushed it back out today... was going to 4 hr 45mins to have her in bed for 11.30am but she took the dreaded 10 min CN in the car this morning so she didn't settle until 11.50am.  It's been an hour and I heard her resettle herself at about 50 mins... ugh.  Fingers crossed that she manages to get close to 1 hr 45 at least!

Hope she sleeps well Kara.  I've been doing the meds every night but its not really helping I don't think.  Maybe need something stronger. He has them coming on both sides, top and bottom!  Poor baby.
