The final stages of the 1-0

[ZacsMumme]

Thanks tink, so when you first went to no nap how long was her day? - did you ride out the OT?

Aishi thanks...I was thinking even 5.30 but maybe high risk

Sorry to hear it wasn't a great night.

Don't know if it helps but DS has a 12 hr day. I did do a couple of EBTs when he first dropped the nap but very quickly we got into the routine of 12hr (ha, that was before the routine messed up with clock change but we are back on track now).  Some EWs, some very odd late mornings (he doesn't tack on in the morning so a late morning here is highly unusual) - but he still sneaks micro naps in the car (eg about 3 mins yesterday just before we arrived at the shops), I think they are more of a hindrance than a help now but the first month or so it was useful, I know you don't have that option though.
I've done 5.30 BTs too, often with good results.
Good luck!

What did u end up doing? Fwiw I would do 10.5h days when initially nap dropping if ds tacked on but the didn't so like creations I was doing 11.5-12h days. Ds was three when we started and obv couldn't handle it and got ot so then I went with set BT which often meant 13-14.5 h days and rode out the ot...

The clock change set us back and I've stuck to set BT and he's finally did 12h night last night.plan for a while. So as z tacks on I would stick with short nnds 10.5-11h if he's having BT shenanigans itss prob ot rather than it so I'd stick with it for a few weeks...if that doesn't work you could try set BT and see if you could set his body clock and let him SR wu then...awith dev stuff going on  tho I would stick with a plan...I'm guessing news are dev and BT call backs too so I would just ride it out...sorry I know easier said than done!! xx

During the final push she had 11hr days usually.  If I did less than 11hr she had ews or trouble settling.  But if she slept in one day, I would still do 7:30ish bedtime that night, so some of her days were 10.5hrs but it wasnt a regular thing and it was regulated by her, if that makes sense.  Yes, we just rode out any ot.

[ZacsMumme]

In bed at 5.45 asleep 6. Up 6 so 12 hr night only NW was he woke when I put the covers back over him. Ugh...how do I time this right!?
He dozed in bed I think till 6.30/45 and seems ok....

So 6 again? I'm worried he won't tack on anymore because he is regulating ie doesn't need the nap anymore...so I'll see how he goes and we may try for 6.15. I can't pd at 5.. It's just madness

[michaeljacknnugg]

I would push him out as far as you can. Six if possible, and just ride out the ot.

[Aishi]

Agree with MJN- if you don't think he would tack on anymore I would push till 6 if you can and perhaps stick to a set BT in hope he will SR....

[ZacsMumme]

Ugh, he didn't go to sleep till 6.30 seemed ok, STTN but 5am calling! He had knocked his nightlight egg over he's in his room now not sleeping yet. What on earth do I do if he doesn't go back to sleep! he has daycare at 1! Do I flag it and nap him? Try a CN before 12? Or BT at 5.30 I'm on my own so I can't do any earlier than that.

Gross

[ZacsMumme]

I'm not sureif. He went back to sleep...I think he dozed. He said he had another sleep
Anyway, up at 7ish.

Let me know if you think this is a bad idea. Otherwise I'm going to go for 6pm BT - I think I'm going to try to go with consistsncy till he's sleeping well then push closer to 6.30-7 pm

[michaeljacknnugg]

If he's been in bed until 7, it would be worth pushing him through. He may have dozed, but he would have rested all the same.

[ZacsMumme]

Oh no....he can't have slept he looked like death by 11 and wanted to lie In my bed so I put him into his bed for a rest before daycare and he went to sleep! Never would he usually nap that early!

So woke at 12.30 (I think it was 45 mins or so) and will try for 6.30 BT? This 1-0 is so messy!

[michaeljacknnugg]

It is messy, and I'm afraid to say it's one of the times I just had to follow my gut. See how he looks after preschool, and go from there?

Sara, forgive me if I am saying something that has already been discussed, I have not read back through the thread but do you think a 35-40 min nap 2-3 times a week would help? That is what we did with DS and I have to say the transition was not too bad with him. I did it on days when I thought he needed a catch up i.e. he had woken earlier and kept BT the same. It worked well for us.

Hi Becky,
In the past a short nap has been awful for him, but yesterday he did this as he was so tired

I put him into his bed for a rest before daycare and he went to sleep! Never would he usually nap that early!

So woke at 12.30 (I think it was 45 mins or so)

So I guess yes, I think it could work after initially thinking it wouldn't iykwim
If I can get him to nap early like yesterday too on daycare days I think that could really help as they are the OS ones too when he gets super tired.

[ZacsMumme]

Ok 6.30 BT 6.50-7 WU....so NND and BT 6?
