Just wondering Layla - did your little girl just start to increase naps when you dropped the cat nap? I only ask because since we have increased A's but there is not increase in nap length, how do you still drop a nap without having a huge A at the end of the day (even with an EBT?)
Yes, she did. She only started taking 2 long naps when we dropped the 3rd nap and before that we had some shocking naps too (like 3 short ones) and on those crappy nap days, I used to do an earlier bedtime and thankfully she would tag on and sleep until her usual wake up time most of the time.
Also - there has been a big increase in nap resistance, bed time resistance and decreased ability to self sooth. Plus increased night walking - do you think that this could be age related? I know that it could be lack of sleep in the day etc but this has always been the case and he was managing just 1 NW and did sleep 3 times all the way through before.
It might be the 4 month sleep regression! Very common and it will pass but just try and stay away from using props too much as he might become too dependent on them.
