OMG that was long NW, bless her. I guess you just get through and hope for the best until Tues Hun. When Sam rolls to the wrong end of his Toddler bed I roll up blankets and put them on the outside of the ebd and it's enough to stop him rolling out, like bolsters you know. I think if they feel there's something there they will stop or roll the other way, so you could try that today.x.

I'm actually surprised that she only rolled out the once as i thought she'd of rolled out a few times as she's such a fidget bum. We have a spare double duvet that i laid on the mattress but I'll see if i can roll it up and keep it in place somehow tonight. x

I only use Sam's baby blankets, if you still have some of those, that will be enough.x.

I put her into her room at 11.00am (she wasn't due her nap until 12.00pm). And she played with her toys then it went quiet about 11.25am, i went up to check and she was asleep on the blow up mattress with her blanket lol. I'm going to do the same at bedtime and see if she settles abit quicker than the 2hrs it took last night lol.

- She woke from her nap after 1hr :( I can see us getting into a big OT mess. x

Dont worry hun, transitions are always tough. It took ds1 2wks to adjust to his bed and he was a v gd sleeper. I dont fancy the move yet 4ds2. So far he has only climbd out at naptime so is staying in the cot! xx

This ^is a major co-incidence because this is exactly what Sam did yesterday and the day before. I was suggesting it the other Mammy's with LO's Sam's age as a way of allowing them to sleep when they're ready but I never thought to mention it to you because DD is so much younger and of course she wouldn't have been able to do it whilst in a cot. Sam napped earlier than I would have put him down too.

It's worth a try tonight definitely, I considered it myself. Hey, here's hoping her not being in a cot could be the start of something positive  ;)

Yey, it only took 40mins tonight for her to fall asleep - she fell asleep on the air bed again too lol. I kind of made a fort with pillows & rolled the double duvet up and put it against her bed so hopefully she won't roll out tonight and I'm hoping we don't have another 2hr nw lol.

I didn't do her bath tonight either as she didn't come home from my mums until 6.10pm and they didn't leave until 20 past - so i just got her dressed and put her to bed at 6.30ish as she was knackred anyways. She was asleep for 7.10pm. x

Last night was alot better, she slept 3.5hr, 3hr 20min, 3.5hr then 1hr 40min. She actually got out of bed about 2am but i went in and laid her back down and she went to sleep fine, then at 5.40am she woke up and was sat up in bed, i told her it was still night night and she chatted for 10mins then went quiet then woke for the day at 7.30am. - I was really hoping she wasn't up for the day at 5.40am lol.

Hi Jem! How are things going? Sorry I haven't been around, we were away for a couple of weeks. Looks like you're in great hands of couse :)
Taking a while to settle at bedtime is a new thing for your DD, is that since trying the longer nap?

Hi kay dee :)

We've just started having bed time problems since taking her cot sides down 3 days ago but last night it only took 40mins for LO to fall asleep, so hoping tonight she'll settle ok.

Before we took the sides off, she was doing 5hr before nap, 2hr nap and then 6hr A before bed but we we're still getting 1-2 Nws. x

So she had just over 12hr night with a few wake ups, i put her into her room at 12.00pm hoping she'd play and fall asleep for 12.30pm making it a 5hr A, but she didn't go to sleep until 1.00pm and is now awake after just 1hr. x

You think she might need a longer A before her nap after a good night?

I'm not sure if she woke after 1hr because she was UT or OT, she was a little upset before going to sleep but I'm not sure. Her sleep/naps have been wonky for the past 3 days since we took her cot sides off, as she's taking ages to settle due to being able to get in/out of bed but I'm hoping once the novelty wares off she'll go back to settling like she was.

She did a 1hr nap yesterday but I thought that was maybe down to being UT as she settled at 4.5hr A before nap and was tired at bedtime and it only took 40mins for her to play about and settle. She seems tired again so I'm hoping she won't take long to settle tonight. x
