Did he already sleep in nursery Katherine?

[jessmum46]

No first time for a nap today!  Eek....at least he got up at a reasonable time this morning so the day won't be long even if nap a mess x

[Martini~]

Hope it went fine:)!

Still averaging approx 1.5 hours for that middle of day nap.. It's been able 3 weeks since we transitioned to 11.30am/12pm nap time. Hope it increases soon!  Night sleep going well still.

Ladymugg, whats your wake up and bedtime?

[jessmum46]

Marta he managed 55 mins, and I got a 15 mins catnap to get us to BT so we survived!  Mega tired and grumpy today though despite a very good night (I guess he crashed) so hoping the nap goes ok x

[Martini~]

Ahh! That's a great nap for the first day in the nursery:)! More then one sleep cycle yuhuuu:)! We had I guess 30min instead of normal 1.5-2h:). Great that you managed to squeeze a catnap there!

[ladymugg]

Wake up is anywhere around 6/6.30 and BT is about 6.45

[ginger428]

Is that put down at 6:45 or asleep by then?

We had a good nap today... But a crying break in between. 1.11, then another 54min, asleep at 11:45 and woke almost at 2.

3rd time it's been over 2 hrs in a week.  Also had a couple short ones around 1hr.
We were out in the morning and were late getting back in time for 11:00 nap which was good in a way because it pushed Our nap back to the 11:45/12:00 range. He seemed to handle today's wake time ok even though it was an early start at 5:00am. Grandma was with us so i guess it was enough of a good distraction to push him through tiredness. He was yawning a lot on the way home though around 11:00. Put him down for bed at 6:30 but he cried (for like the 5th night in a row) then self settled and took 27 min to fall asleep at almost 7! Long day but hipefully the nap will carry him through to a good wake up time.

Hang in there Lady... Hopefully it'll hit the 2 hr+ Soon. Is DD handling the days ok?

[ladymugg]

It is lights out about 6.35/6.40, asleep by 6.45/6.50 - it doesn't take her long that time of the day.

How many weeks did it take for the longer sleeps to kick in for you ginger?

[ginger428]

About 4 weeks if you count from the real push to 1 nap toward 12noon.

We had the first after 6am wake up in over a month!!! 6:20. Woohoo! Did wake at 3, 4, 5:40 but ss until wakeup. So happy. Nap was only 1.21 total but i'll take it!

Cried again at BT. :/ but only for a few mins. Then out at 6:50. Fx for another after 6 wu.

Hmmm there are some molars pushing through at the moment, I'm sure that isn't helping.  She was away at my mums house over the weekend and the routine got a little out of whack so today am putting it back in place.  But it has been about 3 weeks since she landed at that 12 pm, we were transitioning about 3 weeks before that.  Is that what you mean, since it got to 12 pm?

[ginger428]

Oh no... hope the molars pop soon and it doesn't cause much more discomfort.

Yes, that is what I meant, so for us it was 4 weeks since I moved to 1 nap permanently and starting moving it toward 12noon, and you're going on 6.  Mind you though that we've been transitioning for a few months with some back and forth from 1 to 2 naps.  So I suppose not quite the same.   So perhaps you have a couple more months to go? =/  But who knows... she might extend it all of a sudden or maybe not.  I heard 1.5 hours is also common for 1 nap especially with 12 hour nights.

Today for us, WU was 5:30 with screaming/crying at 11pm, then another wake at 4:15. Don't know how long it took for him to fall asleep. Going to stick to 11:45/12 nap and 6:30 put down time. Curious how the next few days will go. We'll see!

[ladymugg]

Ah ok .... hmmm... I will keep being patient.  To be honest she isn't massively tired on the 1.5hr sleep days but I think she could do better with 30-60 minutes more.  She sometimes yawns mid morning but then after a snack perks up again. 

Thanks ginger!

Hey ladies, we are recovering from a long cold, or maybe she is teething.  She has only two lower teeth, it looks like all 4 upper ones are coming out..... it takes forever it seems.
We've been on one nap for over a month I think. But she wakes up after 8 am, and BT works well around 7. Her nap is stable 1h30. I will be trying to extend her A time again to get a longer nap once she is better.
Ginger, sorry WU are still so early. What might cause it? Oh, who knows.
