Today has gone pretty good! Not exactly to plan but we managed to cut the cat nap out of today! And dd was happy enough.

I did plan on putting her to bed at 6.30 but we had to go supermarket and by the time we got back, bath, bottle it was 6.46 when she went to bed and 7 by te time she fell asleep (settled good as normal)

It looked like this:

Wu 6.50
E - 7.30
A - 2hr 55
S - 9.45 - 11

E - 11.30
A - 2hr 50
S - 1.50 - 3.15 (had to resettle after 30 mins)

E - 3.30
A - 3hr 45 (too long but she handled it fine)
S - asleep for night 7pm

I wonder how she will sleep and what time she will wake in the morn.... Only time will tell.

Think if she sticks on the 7-7 i need to moe feedings around as the aft nap i would like er to sleep til 4 but her feed is due at 3.30, but will see how things go.

Thanks for your help x

Yay!  That day looks pretty good.  Agree bt was a but late but if she repeats her wu time tomorrow, then just bump her bt forward a bit. 

Yes you can move her feed in the afternoon if you want but also don't worry too much if she goes longer than 4 hrs between feeds.  Once their As are more than 2 hrs then it does become tricky for milk feeds.  Normally what is done is to introduce solids.

That might work but if she short naps then do three naps.  The 3-2 transition is tricky and doesn't always happen overnight   :-\ so hang in there!

Im back!!

Because i cant handle the early mornings any more!! Yesterday and today at 5am i went in and tried to AP (rock her, which is sometimes how i have to get her to sleep at cat nap) thought id try it. No chance. She is wide awake and ready for the day. She has def had enough sleep.

I dont know how to combat this!!?? Im wondering if 10 hrs is the max she needs at night? Im also wondering why the heck 5am exactly each morning?? Haha. She has a black out blind velcro'd to the window but there is a small gap under the door which will let a small amount of light in mabee i will try block that off too. I just find it crazy how she knows its 5am?!!

Im going to give it a few more days if still waking at 5am with 10 hrs sleep im seriously thinling of moving her bt to 8.30 and try that for a week see if she still does 10 hrs ish or if she still has her secret alarm clock waking her up at 5am.

I cant think of anything else, apart from he sets a secret alarm before she falls asleep to wake herself up at 5am. Haha. Crazy stuff babies are.

What do you think?

Sure, it's worth a try.  Once she's waking at a more normal hour, then try dropping that CN and a 7 pm bt.  Good luck!

Hiya just filling you in on whats been happening here!

So night 1 of later bedtime she was asleep by 8.15 and slept all the way through to 6.20! (Yay) kept the 3 nap that day and pit down on night 2 at 7.50 and was asleep by 8. Woke up from that at 6.45am (yay again)

Las night put to bed t 7.30 as she had 3 short naps in the day due to us being out all day.woke at 4.30am but could tell she was still tired so left her she was back asleep by 5.15 an i had to wake her up this morn at 7.30!

So this gives me a great day to try and cut out the cat nap but im still going to aim for a bedtime of around 7.30. Depending on nap lengths.

So all is good! Finally yipee.

Will let u know in a few days how were grttin on x
