Desperately need some eyes - super tired with 27m olds wonky sleep!

[*Becky*]

oh yuk
Well it is either teeth or the 2 hour nap I would imagine, hard to say which. Can you see molars coming in?
So hard isn't it, feels never ending.

[HenaV]

Yep! Judging by the tears and attidude she didn't go back
To sleep!!! My only saving grace is that she waits for mr sunshine to call me!

I'm wondering whether it is teeth given how tired she was yesterday day - Mil Said she was out cold when she went to wake her at 3.20. The problem is won't let me look in her mouth so I just don't know. And she went to bed, asleep in the usual time with no chatting?

Re: today, we have to take SD to school this morning so I imagine she'll fall asleep on the way back. So If she does I reckon I'll probably stick to Normal nap and BT. So tired if thinking about this *sigh*

Hope m had a better night x

I think you just have to ride it out hun.
Is R HSN? I know she has always had more sleep than M...just wondering

[HenaV]

Tbh I don't know. I suspect so. What is defined to be hsn at this age?

Thanks for the support hon.

[Mattsmummy]

Having an equally difficult time with M....

HUGS....

HSN would be sleeping around 12 hours at night, poss 11.5 and still having a 2 hour nap....the average is 1.5 nap, 11-11.5 at night x

[HenaV]

I think then she us bordering on being hsn. Before this madness she consistently slept 2h DTS and 11.5h at night.

Today, she did fall asleep as I anticipated in the car but bit until 9.55. Mindful of not wrecking the day, I stopped off on the way so she got 10/15m max. In then put her to bed at 1.20 asleep by 1.30. I had hoped she'd wake By 3pm, she didn't so I woke her at 3.15pm as I was worried to leave her later. She was horrid when I 1st got her up - teary and grotty. She's ok now though, just a bit tempremental.

Was thinking of sticking with the 7pm BT?

MM - I saw from your thread things were still pooey  big ((hugs))

Ps. Got a glimpse - bottom back teeth defin coming through, bit sure about top ones

[HenaV]

Guess 7pm was the wrong thing to do. Crying out at 3.20 - meds,awake at 5.30. So lost

She sounds ot to me hon...dd was doing the same with her canines. I pd for naps and BT slightly ut and didn't cap naps or wake in am. But tbh no tweaking worked until teeth cut. I just did what I could to minimise ot....

Hugs hon xx not looking fwd to molars!

Have u tried doing dream meds around 2.30/3 so she doesn't fully wake? I was giving ibuprofen cos it works quicker and is more effecrive . hth xx

[*Becky*]

I agree with the above. If she is HSN and cutting teeth I would just not cap atm.....hugs, it is rough.
Oh yes and def do dream meds if you can x

[HenaV]

With cainines my alarm was set for 3.30
For an age. Last night when i gave her meds at 3.20 I really thought it would see us through to a decent WU. I guess I should try calprofen - just a unkind to her tummy yk? But I guess lesser of 2 evils. I think she must be OT - 5/5.30 WU are typical of OT for R, chatting between 1-3am
UT. Also, her  temprement says it all!!!

Tbh, I've always like you managed OT during teething as opposed to
Tweaking. I think where it's gone wrong is this regression / developmental thing which has thrown me. Doesn't help when your so tired to try and think straight!!!

So based on your suggestion of slightly UT naps and BT what time would you do nap and bed. Her usual nap is 1.15/30 and BT at 7pm. There is a chance she'll
Fall asleep in the car at this morning as we have to go around 10 and it's about a 20m journey

I know you're having your own sleep problems - really appreciate your support xx 

[Aishi]

I'm not sure hon :-/ I'm not great with set times. But if she takes an am cn could you do normal nap time and aim for 6.30 BT so its 13h day? Sounds ambitious even to me!

Hugs honey x it really is pants when nothing seems to work. Def try ibuprofen. Calpol does nothing in motn for dd x

[Aishi]

And if u can avoid cn I would do 12 nap uncapped and asleep for 6.30 BT....

[HenaV]

I will do what I can to avoid the CN. I don't think she'll go before 12.30. But yes I see in theory where your headed. It's a shame we do need to go and do stuff today but it unavoidable. Thanks again my lovely x

[Aishi]

Maybe a tasty snack in the car? How kong is she taking to fall asleep at nap times? Maybe pd so she will take that long to fall asleep by 12 iykwim? It worked for us...good luck hon xx everything crossed for u! And sorry if it backfires!
