like today - ha ha!!
Heard her cry out at 4.55am and lay there until she did wake at 6.05am.......silly mummy.

Good night.

So do we just continue with 11.30am set nap then and work on slowly pushing BT back by 5 mins every 3 days? Does that sound right vicki?

If the main focus is on shifting BT then that sounds good to me Becky. As long as she does a 1.5 nap you should be okay and make it to a 7.00 BT, then if she keeps sleeping long nights that would be the jackpot of a 7 am WU. Remind me, how is she at BT  ??? settling quickly or seeming OT  ??? what has her last A time been as a rule  ???

she has been settling straight away at BT - she is generally always like this. Nap is settling within about 5 mins.
Her last A the last couple of days has been about 5.15 A and I am sticking to no earlier than 6.15pm whatever the nap tbh (unless it was 30 mins or something)

I don't think 12 hour nights will be the norm. Her nap yesterday was only 1.20 and they generally are 1.15/20 which is why we are getting the longer nights.

I would like to think we could do a 7pm-6.30am routine - that would be ideal but I would be fine with a 6am reliable wake up too.

Honestly Becky this is great ^. So what's her first A time  ??? is there room for it to be pushed out very slowly too to see if the nap extends  ???

the last few days it has been about 5.45 A in the am. Today it will be more like 5.5.
I could push to 6 hours??
I am a bit wary of pushing anymore as that seems quite a long A tbh but I guess it is possible she needs 6. WDYT?

I would hold at 5.45 for a week or so and push BT very slowly 5 mins at a time.x.

today
A - 6am
Nap - 11.45-1.15pm
BT - 6.30pm
So working on 5.45 before nap and 5.15 after with a 12.5 hour day.
She is teething bless her so may explain the shorter naps. We had crying meltdowns all am but much better this pm after calpol!! Having said that if she does a long night then nap is probably going to be shorter. A 1.5 nap with BT pushed to 7pm and a longer night would be perfect :)

I'd go with 11 am nap which is 5.45 to nap again, then take if from there.  If her nap isn't long you don't have much choice but to push her further tonight Hun.
