Oh bless her!  Certainly OT hun... I think you really do need to set your nap and BT and really stick with it for a good week... CNs do far more harm than good at this age.  The good news: the worst horrid OT can be fixed very quickly at this age... a good solid nap and a slightly early bedtime will generally do the trick.

Don't worry about sending her to the CM - she naps like a champ there ::)

we just about managed a 12 hour day!poor pet was just so  exhausted-i think it's a combination of everything at this stage-cold, cough, teeth, & MMR.
i gave her some calpol going to bed tonight, so hopefully she will have a peaceful sleep.

so, regarding these set naps....how do they work????

she did 2hrs 10mins at the CM's today-i'm beginning to wonder if they have some magic spell!!!

Do you think it was a bit of a catch up? Or did she seem well rested this morning? What does your gut say? I've been advised elsewhere to try 5h A before nap and 5.5h after but my gut says the longer pm A is too much for J.  So effectively I think I've just said I don't know!  Could you have her ready for 7ish then do longer bath or wind down if she seems like she's doing ok?

I always did 5 hr A before and 5.5 hr A after... or slightly less before bed if she seemed more cranky/tired than normal.. but only about 15 mins early really.. and yes, I used a longer bath often and still do :) 

I think we swapped to 5.5 before and 5 after nap around 18 months or so... I just found that we had much singing and faffing about before falling asleep at naptime ;)

Good to know,thanks kara.we always had a v short A to
BT when we were on2naps-2 or 2.5hrs-so im cautious of
pushing the BT too much.

She was UT for sure... if she has a good night of at least 11 hrs, I would go ahead with a 5 hr A time before nap.

It's all just changing so much all the time!
So 11hrs counts as a good night?

For sure ;)  Anything 10.5 hrs and up is totally fine for a kid over a year old... though 10.5 often indicated OT in this house!
