Hey!

I know an hour and a half doesn't seem long to you given she always napped longer but for most LOs her age it's actually not too bad yk, for some a pretty decent nap. So with a 1.45pm WU I'm assuming you're going to shoot for a 6pm BT?

[Aishi]

Perhaps but i know how ot she is im going to pd at 5.30 and hopefully asleep by 5.45/6. just shooting in the dark here lol!

Its her bday tomorrow. I really hope she sleeps well. I dont want her being cranky all day!

[HenaV]

How did she do?

Happy birthday tommorow LO xx

I'm away as of tommorow for a few days so won't be checking in. I hope that by the time I gt back your all A ok and back on track. Don't forget don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing a super job (now believe it  ). There's lots of support here for you hon. Keep going. And if you don't believe me, just look back at your earlier posts on this thread and you'll see how far you have come xxx

[Aishi]

Thanks for letting me know hon. Enjoy your days off!

fxd we'll be sorted like u said by end of weekend although she has just gone to sleep at 6.40 after i pd at 5.30

Tc xx

[HenaV]

Thanks my lovely. How did last night go?

[Aishi]

Few nws, awake on and off from 5.30 but def up by 6.10. i think shes over dev leap and im just struggling to get a times right now. Im going for 12 nap and 6.30/7 bt depending on nap length.

Whenever i get a later wu i think its time to got to set nap and bt cos im done with a times. She will learn to cope with ot now shes 2 right?!

[HenaV]

I'd say so. R did. We switched to set naps after the 2yr dev leap and introduced a gro clock. She got OT For a bit but got over it. Might be worth a shot. Have a look at the link below, it might help:

Good luck xx

thanks for link ill have a look at it. we went to my mums and she didnt nap :-/

wu 6.10
nap pd 12 but didnt nap
bt 6.10


dyt she may be ready for some nnds? she was fine today - no meltdowns or hyper behaviour as she normally does when ot..the last nnd was a disaster but she was in middle of dev leap..dont think she is anymore...

thoughts?

[Aishi]

so...dd had nw 7.30-45 and brief nws 12, 5...wu was 5.55 so not quit 12h night but at least no bt shenanigans....time to drop the nap?'

[Aishi]

Our day

Wu 5.55
nap 11.35-1.05
bt 6.25 (pd 5.55)

ok need help clarifying this- i think leap is over since its been over two weeks and she isnt singing through the night anymore . so should i assume 1.5h naps are the new norm now since when she does nap thats what im getting consistently?

also, dyt she was ot or ut for bt cos it still took 30 min to fall.asleep which it never does. Could it be ut since pm a was 5h20 by the time she fell asleep...

I know ur 'off duty' Hena its not urgent- dont think im.figuring this out any time soon

[Aishi]

Had another ew today...couldnt rs her...

Wu 5.40
a 6h10
nap 11.40-2.35
a 5h
Bt 7.30 (pd 7)

guess that was a cu nap and a really long day...so i cant really make anything out of the routine?!

[Aishi]

so we had 2 nws before 12 and a long happy nw from 2.15-3. Ut? Nights was 7.30-6.30 and TNS 13h minus nw which seems about right...

Plan (haha) for today

Wu 6.30
nap 12.30-2.30/3 capped
Bt 7/7.30

Hi!

Sorry I for not replying to your posts. I wasn't just off duty but out of the country so was not accessing my emails or checking the site - quite expensive to 'roam' whilst overseas.

Anyway,  could you please summarise your queries/concerns and what's been happening with your LO's sleep so I can try and help?

Btw, I hope she had a nice birthday x

PS - I've just noticed that you have a new thread - are you happy to receive advice on the new thread?

[Aishi]

No worries hon x hope you had a good holiday?

I have another thread going now...i think our dev issues are done with and im just trying to cu from ot and sort out a more age appropriate routine...xx
