Just give it some time hun.  It does sound like its all related to the BGB transition.x

Wow, little monkey slept all night, 7.15pm - 6.45am and the only sound i heard was her coughing at 3.00am. I've really no idea why she randomly does sleep though lol but it always seems to be either after a short nap or a short night before as the last time she slept through without making a sound was 2 sundays ago after she'd slept at my mums the night before and had a 9hr night :S

Yesterday went:

Up - 7.00am
Nap - 1.50pm-2.15pm (roughly about 20mins).
Bed - 7.15-20pm

I put her down for 12.00pm making it 5hr 15mins A and she settled within 15mins :D so a 5.5hr A before nap. Hoping for a 2hr nap and then put her down after 5hr 15min? at bedtime and hope she doesn't take long to settle. x

probably cause she was shattered hun.  My DS does same if he has a short nap one day, but several days in a row then he starts to get OT & we get NW's - I guess b/c they can cope with the odd day but long term they still need that break to get them through, yk?

Thats great anyway, & good that she settled well at naptime too.  Maybe today is the turning point.  Think your plan for this avo sounds good, hopefully she will settle for bed around 5.5hrs A.

up 6.45am
nap 12.15-2.05pm
bed 7.45pm.

Last night was another good night with just 1 WU at 2.20am with no little cry outs apart from coughing at 5.30am (which I'm hoping doesn't come to anything as she doesn't seem ill, just has started with random coughing during naps/the night which so far isn't waking her up). Going to do the same A times as yesterday and hope for another good nap and night. x

Sounds like it could be teething after all Hun, maybe the NW were down to this. When LO's teeth they produce more saliva which gathers at the back of the throat and makes them cough when they're lying down especially...can you feel any lumps or bumps  ???

I'm so pleased she had another good night.x.

She's only got the very back 4 teeth to get, are they 2nd molars? I'll keep trying to have a feel but i don't think I'll know until they pop through with them ones. x

I think we've got nap and bed time sorted now :D She settled within 10mins at nap time and 15mins at bedtime. I put her into bed at 7.25pm as last night took 25mins for her to fall asleep but she was asleep by 7.35pm. Today has been:

6.50am
12.35pm - 2.15pm (she woke herself after 1hr 45mins).
7.35pm

Hoping for another good night :D

I'm not actually sure why she's suddenly started sleeping so well but it must be something to do with her going into her big bed? As nothing else has changed really apart from she maybe feels safer? not sure lol.

Last night we had 1 wake up :D she slept from 7.35pm - 3.00am then 3.15 - 7.20am.

But when she woke at 3.00am she didn't cry, she just stood at the baby gate and shouted on me lol. Asked for a drink then went back to sleep with no fuss :D x

It happens Jemma, some LO's feel like they're 'in jail' in a cot as they get older LOL and react well to the extra freedom. Funny how the accidental things can help so much eh. I do think she managed to start catching up on sleep a while back and now she is feeling better, 'sleep begets sleep' every time.x.

Hi Jemma, I am very happy that things work out! :D I hope that BBB transition will go so smooth for us also! :)
BTW, for the water I use to put a sippy bottle near DS's crib, so he can reach it when he's thirsty. I think it now happens at least once or twice in the night that he wakes for a drink, as here is quite hot. But he doesn't wake us up for drinking and he's independent, which is very nice for us and for him :)
