Up for the day at 4:45.

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

I hadn't thought of that one!  That might be an option but I'm a bit scared I wouldn't be able to get a long third nap from her.

[ZacsMumme]

Yeah, maybe save it for if she is loosing the plot! An early car CN or late car CN is a good option too ... I think I reserved these for really bad days, or if the naps were a bust.

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

If only she'd sleep in the car :-/.  I've never encouraged her to nap in the car, so she never has really. But she will cat nap in the carrier and I'd prefer that anyway tbh, I can take her and the dog for a walk .

I stuck with a long am nap in the end. Well, it's 9:30 and she's been asleep for an hour. Let's hope she gets a good one in. Thanks.

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

And lovely. She's just woken up from her nap. So she had an hour and ten minutes. She's not crying so maybe she'll go back to sleep.  Great.

[ZacsMumme]

Hugs. T always wakes at this time with discomfort or during Aadjustments.
Hope she went back to sleep. A little APOP won't hurt x

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

Nope. If she wakes chatting and happy, that's it.
So to recap, this is what's happened so far today
Wu 4.55
S 8:30-9:30
S 12:10-13:55 (I had though of 1hr30 nap but got busy with dd1)
S 16:55-17:15 (if I let her have any more, she'd be up till 19:30).
I'm now feeding her and she's 90% asleep on the boob, which she only does if super tired.
Should be interesting tonight.

[ZacsMumme]

Fx! day turned out ok

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

Yeah, she's done ok really. I think we have another small problem - she's up on her hands and knees!!!  She had lots of practise this afternoon but it's VERY exciting. She's a monkey.

[ZacsMumme]

Uh oh... we had lots of nw when this started too so if you start to get them don't panic, they do go away

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

What did you say about nw's?  We had an epic one last night. I mean, monumental.
She was awake from 2:30 till 5 am.

The good news is, she put herself to sleep in the end, and she slept till 6:20.

But she was awake for 2.5 hours.

I think I might say it again . I can hardly believe it.

[ZacsMumme]

Omg I'll find and show you my awful thread about T at this age. We had 3 hr ones. I wanted to leave home!
What was she doing? - crying and trying to crawl?

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

Not crying. Just trying to crawl. She did to her credit get herself back to sleep for an hour and when I went to get her she was out of her sleeping bag!
Last night was very slightly better. She was up at 1, but crying, and I did pat/shh for an hour but she went back to sleep till 5:40. Bedtime was 6:30. I'm going to try to drop the first feed I think. She's been taking very little for the last couple of nights and I've finally admitted she's using my boob to get back to sleep. :-/. So it's time to tackle it I think.

[ZacsMumme]

Hugs how is she?

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

The last couple of nights have been much better but I've come to the conclusion she'd like a 23 hour day. 12 h daytime and 11 h night. Monday she had a couple nw's but I managed to settle her at 4.30 for the first time in ages and last night she had one NW, one feed, and up for the day at 6 after a 7 pm bedtime.  I think I got caught in the trap of feeding at every NW and I know now that she doesn't need it. Fingers crossed. Also she seems more settled on the two naps now.
Thanks for asking.

[ZacsMumme]

Yeah I remember around this age I thought T needed a 23 hr day too
Glad she's settling into two naps...now you can look forward to the 2-1 x
