2 year old sleep trouble
« on: November 30, 2012, 21:56:13 pm »
I'm losing my mind with the short naps dd is giving me. she recently cut her canine teeth which was disastrous . she has a cold now but that has never caused any difficulty with her sleep.

dds daily routine is....

8- 2
nap from 2-3.30/4
bed at 8.30/9

for the past week or so she hasn't been eating at all and her naps don't go beyond 30 mins
 I've tried getting her back to sleep but nothing works. never have I had such short naps from her. I don't understand what's going on. I don't see any teeth coming through.....and just as precaution I medicated before her nap.
her nights are good (12hrs) as I believe she's making up for her ridiculously short naps!!!

any advice or suggestions?? I have a newborn with reflux and with these.new sleep issues...km slowly losing my mind!

I would bring the nap forward by 30 mins if she has a cold - lo's tend to get more tired and that can cause an OT nap. Having said that she may be stuffed up in her nose and that can cause issues too. Can you use a humidifier or some Karvols/Olbas oil in her room?

I agree with the previous post she could be overtired!
