Anyone Want To Talk About The 2-1 Transition? Thread #19

Av slept til 7!  Whew  was all wet probably from that extra bottle at midnight to get her back to sleep. So we did a bath which for some reason she all of sudden screams bloody murder when I wash her hair. Like SCREAMS!!! Not sure why but it's awful cause it has to be done you know?  Anyway hoping for a good nap today.

Those of you who have been successfully doing the 11:30....what time do your lo's start their day?  When I started Ava was doing 6:15-6:30. I'm afraid to mess with things but if she continues to do 7 should I push the nap out a bit?  Although with the time change we may be right back to 6 lol.

Aidan wakes at 7 (apart from now cos of the bloody clocks!) and we are doing 12 o'clock nap.  Hope it doesn't take him long to get back to 7am as his childminder won't be able to put him down til 12.30 due to school runs and a 6am start will be a nightmare.
I still made him go til nearly 12  today though.

Good luck Choc let us know how he does

Thanks!

He is still sleeping after 1hr30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Yay! He did do a 6hr A time................!

That's awesome Gemma.  Congrats. Hopefully this will get you right back on track

Woke at 1hr35.  I'h happy with that after the last 2 days!

Not bad Gemma - it might only take a couple of days to shift him!

We got a lovely 6am wake today... Darn it!  I knew she was a bit OT at BT   She did manage fairly well to 1120am though... she fed to sleep though -she hasn't done that in ages!  I actually felt bad for her and took the bottle out of her mouth with a couple ounces left - she was just tuckered!  She has been down for just about an hour now.

I am so worried for tomorrow though, if he wakes at 6am again because of clock change and he can't sleep til 12.30 what will happen?  Arrhhh!  I'm scared!

[*Kara*]

LOL!  You can always shift his nap back 30 mins if need be... Time changes are a tricky one!

He is with a childminder who has a school run at 11.45 so he can't go down for a nap til 12.30.  If he wakes at 6 then thats 6 and a half hour A.

[lily528]

2 hr nap!!! Yay! It was at my moms too so that was really good. Planning for a 7pm BT.

Here's our day
wu-5:30, left her until 6:20 to see if she would go back to sleep, she didn't. She had just under 11 hrs sleep straight

1st nap-9-9:30 (A T-3.5 hrs) Thankfully no problems going to sleep
2nd Nap-Started at 1:30 and she bawled before I even put her down, did PU/PD, she fell asleep at 2:10-2:40. (AT-4.5 hrs)
BT-6:30

If she wakes at 5:30 tomorrow, what do all suppose I do? I suspect DD is very OT by now. If I extend A until 1o am (4.5hrs) and she only naps 30 mins again, then what A time after that?

Thanks all
Gone to carve pumpkins...Happy Halloween!

Smurfette - I am starting to wonder if she really is OT at this point?? sure she does 30 min naps that generally mean OT, but she does STTN for 11+ hours - an OT baby won't do that.

If she wakes at 5:30am, keep her up as long as you can.  I wouldn't put her down any earlier that 10:30am.  See what happens... if she gives you a nap that is short, you can try a CN to get her to BT.  If she naps a decent nap, then maybe do EBT, no earlier than 630pm though.

You really need to push her to one nap or you will have this never-ending battle until the day you make the jump.

He is with a childminder who has a school run at 11.45 so he can't go down for a nap til 12.30.  If he wakes at 6 then thats 6 and a half hour A.

Gross.  Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do about this one.  Will he doze off on the drive over to CM's house with you?

[lily528]

Definitely push as late as u can. If its a short nap do EBT. That's a good night even if it is an EW you can push her more. Good luck
