11 month old NW's and nap issues
« on: December 02, 2013, 16:36:54 pm »
Hi Ladies,
Ive posted already on the naps board and got great help and support from Layla but I wasnt sure if I was on the right board so posting here also. Please move post if needs be!

DD has always preferred her am nap of 2 hrs and over time gradually cut down her pm nap from 2 hrs to 1.5 hrs and then to a 1 hr nap by herself. However she started to refuse the pm nap altogether about 2 months ago and would only take a 30 min APOPed pm nap in the car. This has resulted in ENW's.
She has started creche 3 weeks ago and wasnt sleeping in the am while there at first but then started to take a 30/50 min nap. As a result of this I changed her routine to 30 min am nap and 1.5/2 hr pm nap but this is also leading to NW's. I have tried a shoet A time before bed, a long A time before bed and everything in inbetween but nothing seems to be working. On the short am nap she is wrecked when I collect her @ 1.30 pm and does a 1.5/2 hr pm nap but wakes up cranky and then BT varies as she's more tired some days than others and WU varies too!
Its very hit and miss with her and some nights are better than others but we havent had a STTN in a while now.
The 2 great nights we had were back in Oct when we started capping naps but every night since was a disaster. Our schedule for those two days was
(Wednesday)
WU- 7.15 am
Nap 1 - 10.35 - 12.25 pm
Nap 2 - 3.40 - 4.30 pm (capped)
BT - 7.40 STTN
(Friday)
WU - 7.45 am (had to wake her)
Nap 1 - 10.45 - 1.00 pm
Nap 2 - 4.20 5.05 pm (capped)
BT - 8.05 pm - 8.00 am STTN and had to wake

Since starting creche we changed to short am and long pm but its not working yet! the last two days were like this

WU - 7.30 am
Nap 1 - 11.15 - 11.45 am
Nap 2 - 2.00 - 3.30 pm
BT - 7.00 pm
NW's - 8.20 pm (20/30 min), 10.40 pm (20/30 min) & 1.50 am (2 hrs)

WU - 8.20 am
Nap 1 - 10.45 - 11.40 am
Nap 2 - 2.50 - 4.05 pm
BT - 7.10 pm (refused)
BT 2 - 7.40 pm
NW - 12.55 am ( 20/30 min)

WU - 6.50 am
Nap 1 - 10.55 - 11.55 am
Nap 2 - 3.15 - 4.45 pm

What time should BT be now???

Creche let her sleep for 1 hr this morning then woke her so the toddlers could go down!! Just so all over the place lately and the NW's are killing me. Ive only just gone back to work and I look like the walking dead  :'(
Please somebody shed some light on this for me and help me  :-\
