Hiya,
Thanks for the advice Hon

EBT was always my first stop too because Sam always tacked on but a few times lately hasn't which has made me fearful of it a little

but it usually works. Today was a whole other story which I'll spare you from

Allowing him even an 1hr and half nap has been backfiring so I have to rule that out unfortunately which is why I have once again cut back to 1.15 and I have a sneaky feeling I may need to cut back more in order to make him keep up with good solid nights more than 11 hours long which he needs on a short nap

I hope Zacs tummy is better soon

it really seems like one thing after another for everyone lately!

no matter which country we live in and it really doesn't help us to iron out the sleep issues. Sam and I have another cold right now, I think mine should have been a nasty virus but I have warded it off for the most part and I'm not too bad. Sam has only just got rid of a long term cough with antibiotics and now he has caught my cold

. Zac is doing what Sam's doing then, waking early and resettling, a sure sign that they're both not well rested enough

If Sam woke early but felt fresh he would be shouting the roof off

to get up that's for sure. You do right to not shift the routine too much I think Sara, it can just send you spiralling off schedule for the week sometimes, so I really try to do the same these days.
