In bed at 5.20pm last night, and took an hour to settle.  Then was up about four times in the night and I ended up bringing her in the bed with me at 5ish I think, til 6.40.  Far from ideal, but B is so OT too that I can't risk her waking him  ::).  Nap ended up being late at 12.15 as I *had* to get out and so we met some friends at the library and went for an early lunch  :).  But she's been asleep for over an hour which is good in our house at the mo!

(((Hugs))), Claire, you are an amazing mom. I hope that you at least get some peace from the battle with this plan in place.  It sounds like a decent start! :-* :-*

Thanks Katie  :). Yep, it's definitely a battle in more ways than one.

*but* today she took a 2 hour nap and was asleep at 6.30pm with no crying  :), so I am enjoying the calm for today!

Oh God Claire, those 4.30 starts are hell. Okay so with Sam (yes, I remember it well)  I would push him to 5 hours so a 9.30 nap uncapped (yes, I know) then he would sleep until 11 ish and I went for 5 pm BT. How about if you do the same this morning and if/when she short naps you try for another nap this afternoon. Or if she does a lovely long nap (hmm) you go for EBT.

HTH.x.

I totally understand about wanting to protect B's sleep. Has he got white noise in his room? Has he got some ear defenders he can put on? Stan is very keen on having the 'right gear for the job' and I swear he positively revels in putting on his ear defenders when Audrey kicks off, and he goes straight back to sleep with them (and bizarrely can sleep for hours in them).

wow - what a star! I am pretty sure H would not go for that but it is worth a try claire...I know I really worry about H's sleep and that is half the reason I don't sleep well in the early hours xx
