I feel your pain honey - (((hugs))) - and it wasn't even perfect here before we hit this mess!  Not that I'm any expert at sorting this out, but I generally have found that keeping the day shorter with either one nap and EBT or two naps but limit one of them to a really really short CN seems to keep the OT to a 'manageable' level.  The long days are what seem to tip us over the edge.

I hear you!but DD just doesnt seem to tack on sleep to
night-times.anEBT means an early WU here,it seems.she
felk asleep easily at 7.15pm.v long day though,you're right.
Not sure how to approach tomorrow.perhaps set naps are worth a try?

anEBT means an early WU

This was us until I cut that second nap and didn't allow a CN at all.  Regardless of nap length.

Our worst day was this:
wake 620
Nap 1050-1210
BT 640.  Sucked!

It only took 2 weeks of really being strict with nap and BT to get sorted here though...

If naps are becoming a battle ground with no good long naps consistently, yes.

We did 4hr50mins A.
She is awake,rolling around the cot after 1hr20min nap.
Woke at 2.15pm.
Am i right in thinking there's no point doing a 2nd nap?
When would you do BT?

Could be OT... it's all really rather odd during the move to one nap... generally a nap under 2 hrs is OT, but if she had a really good night and was just chilling with momma, it could be UT too.  Clear as mud?

Just to add to the mud, we've definitely had both UT and OT 1h20 naps......if she woke cooing and had quite a chilled out morning I'd probably lean towards UT but wouldn't add much in terms of A.  Maybe 5-10 mins or try for an active morning as best you can - climbing stairs, crawling, walking with hands held etc?

I'd probably still push on through to EBT...unless you can get a quick CN in about 3h and not make the day too long?

we were out & she fell asleep in the car!usually, she wakes the second you stop the car, but this time, we turned off the ignition, opened the seatbelts, the doors, the boot...the works!!!!& still not a stir out of her!!she really is so OT at this point.ugh.finally woke her at 25mins at 5.30pm & DH is planning on getting her into the cot at 7.30pm.she has her vaccination tomorrow morning, so between that & the shoddy naps we've managed to give her, i'm dreading leaving her with the CM!
