Aah... currently enjoying the (probably brief) holy grail of a 12MO and 2.5MO napping simultaneously!  Anybody who has 2 children less than a year apart is completely insane!!

DD seemed totally fine this morning so I have just put her down for nap at 12pm.  She woke at 6:45am so only a 10hr night.  Didn't see your message until just now Katherine!  TBH I could have sworn she wasn't even tired, but then I gave her a bottle and then she pretty much started falling asleep as I was putting her in her sleeping bag - not unheard of, but not common for her.

She did a 2.5hr nap.  My nephew did a 3hr nap too so I had nearly 2hrs to myself - unbelievable!!

I've tried to give her an active afternoon so she's tired enough to go to sleep at 7pm.  She's been looking pretty tired so fingers crossed.

Yay, settled fine at 7pm!  Is it really bad that when I heard her start crying while DH was bathing her, I thought "great, she's tired"!?  Normally I wouldn't be excited about my daughter being unhappy ;-)

We had a pretty good night really - NW at 2:30am (unusual for her), and I listened for a few minutes but didn't sound like she was going to go back to sleep, so I got up and went to the kitchen to get her a drink and a dose of pain meds but by the time I did that she stopped crying and had gone back to sleep.  Lucky!  She still hadn't made a sound by 7am so purposely I flushed the toilet (room next to hers) and made a little bit of sound and that woke her.  I know a lot of people don't believe in waking a sleeping baby but I truly believe the more consistent we are with set wakeup/sleep times, the quicker she will adjust.  Time will tell if I'm right but it has worked in the past for her.  It's only when I let times get inconsistent that we've ever really had problems.

So, that means we're at a point of so far, so good.  Day 3 of 1 nap and we had a 12hr night following a 2.5hr nap.  If we can keep that up I'll be a very happy mummy!  Totally remembering Katherine's point about it often going well for a few days before OT creeps in though!

I really hope that I'm wrong and she handles the transition like a dream :)

We had about a 2hr15 nap yesterday but another bedtime flop.  Don't know if it's because we had friends turn up at 6:15pm - she seemed quite unsettled by them whereas usually she's fine to go to bed when people are over.  Got her to bed 8pm and slept til 7am.  Might try 6:30 bedtime for a while... what do you think?  Or maybe bedtime dependent on nap eg 4.5hr after nap?

Well turns out she only slept 40 mins - eek!  Officially our worst nap day ever ;-)  I gave her the dummy in the car on the way home in case she wanted to nap but she didn't, so I've put her to bed at 6pm.  An 11hr day with a 40min nap - poor thing.
