Well, she slept all night! HOORAY! But today was a mess.

6.30 wake
9.30 nap
10.45 wake
12.30 nap (she was super whiney, so we thought, since she had a short nap (for her) she needed one sooner, we were wrong)
1.30 wake
We tried a nap arounf 3, but that didn't work, so we went for a walk with her in the carrier, she didn't sleep in the carrier.
4.30 nap (we let her sleep to prevent OT, since she was getting OT)
6.00 wake
8.00 bed ~ no go, crying, she came out
8.45 bed ~ started crying, but settled. Right now still sleeping (10.10)

So it was a bit messy today, but I'll take it, any change takes time :)

Changing the nap times around, Would you cap the morning nap then? Doesn't she get OT too soon then?

No, because you reduce the next A time.

So you would do a normal first A time, then a short nap, then a short A time, then a long nap.

For example:
7.00 wake
10.30 nap ~45-60 mins
11.15 wake
1.30 nap
3.30 wake
7pm bed

Does that make sense?
