Thanks hon. Im not thinking tbh im too sleep deprived im just going to what u suggest lol

[HenaV]

Bless you. My heart really does go out to you. I remember feeling like I was going to loose my mind when R was doing the same thing.

How did she do with the nap? X

[Aishi]

Thanks for checking in hon. I pd at 12.15 and she fell asleep at 1.05-2 pd for bt at 6 and shes chattering away still- she blooming well better be a genious after this leap! God knows when she will fall asleep but im hoping if its a 12hr day only so sleep by 7 she may do ok. Its funny with ds i had no idea any of this messed with sleep cos i didnt sleep train him till 2.5 so most of this silly business was done with. Having said that hes still a worse sleeper than dd!!

Remind me again. R is sleeping well now & it does get better?! xx

[HenaV]

It does. She was doing brilliantly again and sleeping as she always has done. So yes it does get better. She has just hit 2.5y and literally within a day or so of doing so we've had some NW - chattering at silly o'clock and crying in her sleep. Definitely developmental and I think perhaps the last push re: molars.

Fingers crossed for a better night for you hon x

[Aishi]

Im glad to here that. When do dev leaps stop affecting sleep dyk? i thought by 3 they would be done?

she was asleep by 6.45 so fxd! i think she needs that 45-60 min to chatter before sleep so im going to try to cater for that :-/ and if that doesnt work then i will just suck it up till this leap over. Promise xx

[HenaV]

Bless you. It's a tough ask when you're in the middle of it and are sleep deprived I know. Tbh I don't know when they stop leaping as it were - I sincerely hope that you are right and that but is 3y. That will mean that this is our last leap, yay!!

Got everything crossed for you lovely x

[Aishi]

For.a while last night i thought we had made it until 1 then she chattered pretty much all night. Awake at 6-6.45 and then slept till 7.45. Yucky night

[HenaV]

Big (((hugs))) hon. What are you doing today? X
