wow another massive nap...at least she is catching up..maybe you'll see a better waking time tomorrow?  thinking it may take a few days to start seeing later wake up times...maybe do a slightly early BT even with the massive nap if you can...if she is one to tack it on..it may help...just a thought...

I am planning to have her in bed after 5 hrs A time today... looks like 7pm tonight.  She had a massive nap but she had only slept 9.5 hrs the night before ;)

Kara, Melissa - just incase you hAve the same thing, our nights seemed to have regulated back closer to 11 hrs or so, but Z is in bed 12. He mucks around sometimes in bed ::) I suspect when we first did the switch he needed the good sleeps to adjust. We also get EW with teeth now but usually he goes back to sleep. ;)

Gross.  That's not what I wanted to hear.  I miss our 11 hour nights.

Lol still better than 2 nap days Hun, no crazy 5amers all the time...just not 15 hrs of seep in 24 anymore. Sigh, it was nice while it lasted. In saying that z is still in bed 12 hrs...but he has regulated/adjusted and doesn't seem to want both a 3 hr nap and 12 hr night IYKWIM. :P

from what I understand for their age an 11 hr night is average..I'm ok with that as long as we get a nice long nap...she did an 11 hr night last night...7pm-6:10 am...way better than the 5 something wake ups we've got since DLS...so even though I had hoped to have done an EBT last night maybe the later BT is what got her to sleep later although in my experience she sleeps longer on and EBT well I'll never know but either way happy we are in the 6 am range today...

so here is my decision for today...do i do the 11am nap like i've done since DLS and the 5:20 am morning wake ups...or do I push to 11:30 (our usual nap time before DLS) since she woke a little after 6 am today?  my other deciding factor is she has developed a cold..good spirits but runny nose glassy eyes and still crying out during the night :/  so do I push to 11:30 to get back on track 5.5 hr A or stick with 11 at 5 hr A until I get an even later wake up and she is perhaps feeling better?

so pushed a bit but she was getting tired...asleep around 11:20...slept 1 hr 45 mins...shorter than the last 2 days...maybe pushed too much?  :/  will try for EBT but working today so i'm not sure how well that will go...

ok thanks melissa.  I was working today too.  After a 6.15pm BT last night, DS started to cry out at 5.07am, every 5mins or so until 5.40am when he was definitely wide awake.  He went to MIL's & they held him out til 11am for his nap.  He slept til 1pm (2hrs solid nap - phew!) & BT was 6.10pm.  I'm hoping he might sleep a little better tonight.

We are going to keep with an 11am nap & gradually push it later by 5mins every 3-5 days until its at midday & will keep doing EBT's in the mean time until nap is at least 11.30am & then we will start shifting BT out by 5mins as well.  Hoping that doing it gradually will help to keep ontop of his OT & at the same time encourage a later WU.

yep that is my plan also...may have to cut back closer to 11 tomorrow depending on the night and her wake up time tomorrow...

that said my mom just called and said she found a plastic toy sword in her feety pajama's down by her foot...she was playing with my son this morning and kept stuffing them down her pj's lol...they were small enough to do that with but not to choke on..don't worry ;)  in any event..she kept fussing and lifting up her foot and my mom found it...poor thing its been there since before we left the house this morning...i thought i got them all lol..could have also contributed to the short nap if it was bothering her...i feel so bad :/  my mom didn't even see it somehow when changing her diaper prior to her nap...it may have been up higher and slid down to her foot?  i dunno...just had to share that lol

Anyone get a lot of Nws from OT?I'm trying to decide if F's wakings are just molar and ot related or if there is something more. She woke almost every 40-60mins last night...2nd night of that.

The good news is that we're going wi/wo to try and extend naps. Yesterday it took 30 mins, today 4. Big improvement.Just wish I could get her to nap straight through. :(
Well its the 2nd day on 1 nap day and 5 hr A time. I'm trying to hang on to hope, but it's hard. Blah.

ETA-shoot,spoke too soon.DD only slept another 25 min.

Hang in there Smurfette :-* It can take a good 3 weeks or so to get them to adjust. FWIW I think you are doing the right thing.

YES YES YES!  Yea we get a lot of NW's.  Usually in the early part of the night, from BT up to 10/11pm & then again around 4am onwards.  If we get NW's in the early hours then it is usually followed by EW.  And its definitely down to OT.  For us though, we don't usually go in to him & he cries out & resettles on his own.  I think if you carry on with WI/WO then that should help with the NW's.  Might not stop them, but should encourage her to fall asleep on her own which at least means its less disturbing for you.

I am doing 5hrs A too - so hang in there with me!!!  I'd say just stick at it, do EBT throughout, especially if nap is short.  If WU is early & nap starts at 11am ish, even if she naps a solid 2hrs, still do a reasonably EBT as she will get OT if you push straight to a 7pm BT.  It will take time for her naps & nights to lengthen, and once this happens, then you can work on shifting her day later if you need to.  And remember it may take several weeks for things to fall into place.  We are now 3 weeks in with the 5hr A time & we are still getting some shorter naps & mid nap WU's & NW's.  But I'm living in hope it'll all settle down soon.

welcome back smurfette...stay strong i too think you are making the right decision..just keep in mind it takes time.  my dd NEVER sttn until we switched to 1 nap and they started to get longer...so I def believe NW's were from OT for us...I bet you will see the same change as soon as the naps grow longer for you  :)  I agree with everything clairebear said...good luck to you both ;)
