Not great  ::)

Yesterday she took an hour for her first nap, then took over an hour to get her down for her second one and she slept for 10 minutes  ::).  Then took over an hour to settle for bedtime so it ended up being too late and woke again at 4.50am.  Nice  ;)

Now she's headbanging in her room as she won't settle for her second nap of the day (this mornings I capped at 20 minutes as she settle too late for long pm nap if a two nap day, but too early for a one nap day  :P). 

But we are just bumbling through, I don't actually think there is a 'right' answer  :-\

What times did you try for those naps at? What time was bedtime? What was she doing during the hour it took her to fall asleep?

Honestly, I can't remember. Similar to the day before. Bedtime was at 5 and it took until 6.20 for her to settle.  She was on and off screaming, quiet, crying.

(Hugs) Sounds like she's still very OT so I would continue to try for 2 naps for 4-5 more days.
Hang in there.

Honey, I'm not sure 2 naps is going to get you anywhere any more. If you capped at 20 mins and she refused 2nd nap that tells me she needs to be allowed to nap uncapped and I would be looking at pushing her to 4.5 absolutely minimum, preferably 5 hours A time then let her zonk for as long as she will then bring in my old friend SEBT. Sorry to be repetitious, but BTDT, so I do know how you're feeling, but I am incline to think that all the chopping and changing is your worst enemy right now.

(Hugs)

thing is that's what I was doing for weeks and her naps were just getting shorterand shorter. Also it is just not possible for me to do early enough nights on a regular basis because of Ben and doing dinner/baths/bedtime on my own with two just seems to take forever with two ot spiriteds  ::)

It sounds completely exhausting Honey, I can see how your hands are tied. I guess you have no choice but to stick with 2 naps then because with short naps and normal BT I doubt she will cope  :'(

A really ((((((BIG HUG)))))

Much better than they were (no night feeds and she is generally much easier to settle back :)), but still rubbish  :P. she is waking frequently due to ot and would not settle at 4am so we just figured we had to get some more sleep into her (she was screaming the house down which wakes Ben too  ::)) so we had her in bed and she got an extra hour til 6.20

I am losing my mind  :'(

She has been taking one 30 or 20 minute nap every day for the past week and waking between 4-4.30am...I really do not know what to do anymore  :'( :'(

We were trying again for a SEBT tonight and she has been screaming for over an hour.  What on earth can I do  ??? :'(.  She is refusing early naps, or taking ages to fall asleep and then napping for 30-40 minutes.  Then she will not take a nap later on at all, and takes an hour most nights to settle.   

She is getting more and more OT that I just do not know how to get her out of it as she will just not sleep properly for naps *or* nights, will not be APOPed and is just in a complete state. 

I'll post our 'routine' tomorrow to see if anyone has any thoughts, as DH did her nap today so I don't know the exact times - just that it took her  an hour to settle (from 11-12ish) and she slept for 30 minutes  :(....again.   

Sorry, I don't even know what anyone can say  :-[
