help for today-ew & set times

[HenaV]

That's a shame hon. Don't despair!With Ew, i tend to go in (if I think she'll go back to sleep) and say, come on R is time to sleep/time for night nights. No cuddles etc - just soft but firm voice (not cross bi matter how frustrated I'm feeling)

Today I would do this:

WU: 5.30
Nap:12.45-2.45
BT: 6.30 (asleep by)

I know you're probably going to think the naps too short on a short night, but if she gets to make up for it in the day, why should she sleep at night yk?

What do you think? X

Lol i knew would say that i understand the logic but what if she doesnt fall asleep by 6.30 since wiwo is taking an hour?

[HenaV]

Iiwm, I'd start BT earlier if you're worried about that. The way I view it is this, how's meant to know what the rules are if I keep changing them?

[Aishi]

Sooo todays easy

Wu 5.30
nap 12.40-2.30
bt 6.30 (pd 5.45)

it took her a while to fall asleep at bt but i only had to go in twice, once she dropped water on herself and second she was bit upset.

Im thinking if she has ewu again that i should do something like this

Wu 5.30
nap 12-2.15
bt 6.15

Only cos i dont think the problem is her routine or the set times, its just the prop so if i keep these a times i can prevent her getting into an ot spiral and push day forward when prop is no longer an issue?? wdyt?

[HenaV]

Personally I'd stick with it. I think 12 at her age is too early for a nap and 2h15 on the odd occasion is fine but not a regular thing to compensate the ew. You may find your LO comes to rely innate earlier and longer nap to make up for the NW?

I agree with the issue re the prop, and you are dealing with that. I think once she gets te hang of it, you will be home and dry xx

[Aishi]

Well it was a moot point. She sttn

Wu 6.05
Nap 1-3 capped (pd 12.40)

aiming for 7pm bt.

Can i just check re nap if she doesnt settle till after 1 should i cap at two hours and latest 3.15pm with 6.30/7 bt depending on nap length?

Again thank you, i never would have realised i was dealing with a prop issue if it hadnt been for you guys xx

[HenaV]

I'm too late I know, but yes. End of nap at 3.15pm and the BT as you said

Really pleased that she STTN!

Stick with it hon 

[Aishi]

No no not too late she napped fine today. Onwards and upwards xx

Why the cross face? lol

I put dd down at 6.30 to be asleep for 7. i had no call backs just her singing but she didnt fall asleep till 7.30.…so it was a 13.5h day. Seems too long. Dyt i should keep nap at two hours for a few days or cap it to 1h45?

[barbaraz78]

I am very happy that the prop issue seems to be solving and that she is doing much better!
I think that 13.5 h day is OK with a 2 h nap. You can try to cap to 1.45 and see how it goes if this routine doesn't work for you. But I would give at least a week, and re-evaluate after, before changing anything.

[Aishi]

Thanks Barbara. Youre right its prob best to see.how she gets on now that i know prop issue is sorted (i dont even know how that prop got formed so quickly!) i should hopefully get some consistency with routine, tg!

btw love your new avatar- so sweet!

[HenaV]

It was meant to be  NOT  lol!

Yes, I'd stick with what you're doing. See how things settle and then consider if your need to tweak anymore or just enjoy the ride!!!

H x

[Aishi]

Oh dear. Another ewu. 5.30 so only 10h night. Thats def ot with her. should i just stick with it?

[HenaV]

I would, and just bring the nap 15m earlier if needs be but still cap at 2h.

Btw, how's she doing re : teeth - any sign of those molars?
