23 month old with EW again and nap fighting
« on: March 04, 2014, 11:44:02 am »
Hi

I'm looking for some help again with C sleep. We have been on a great easy of
W 615-645
Nap 1245/1-215/230
Bed 730

A week ago she came down with a mild case of the flu. She was lethargic no appetite and vomitted a few times. The only times she was sick was in her crib in the early am of 4-530 then after she would call me and we would have to do a showe and clean up. When she was ill she only wanted me and we had lots of cuddling for a couple days including some co sleep naps. She is better now and our easy is a mess. Latest wake in a week was 530. Today was 420 but I got her back to sleep with me. She is an independent sleeper at bedtime and most naps. Odd time I have to rub her back. Ew are the worst for us. At Xmas we had to do wiwo and after 3 days we were done with ew. I like set naps and bt.
What should I do?? Do u think her nap needs to be pushed out? The last 2 days she has just screamed and thrown a fit during out pre nap quiet time of books. Yesterday she jumped out of my lap and ran to the door to try to open it then was in the corner saying no bed no.

Please help me out. I suffer from anxiety and depression and lack of sleep triggers my anxiety :(

Hi there
Could you post what the last 2 days have looked like - I can see what she was doing but would be useful to see what's happening now. x

At this age you could introduce a gro cock or lights on a timer to help her understand when it is morning time. I use one with both my lo's, one of whom has always been a chronic EW'er and it really helps.
Re the routine I would think she is a bit OT as her days are really long.
If it were me I would keep the nap at 1pm like you are doing but bring BT earlier to more like 6.45pm and see if it helps at all. You can then push it back again once she starts to sleep a bit later.

Also - if you suspect teeth you could try a dream feed meds around 2/3am...
