What do I do?!?!?!
« on: May 02, 2014, 22:10:34 pm »
It is now 4:10 pm. My 10 month old daughter has been awake since 11:15 and won't nap despite trying 2 times!

6ish-awake for the day.
9:30-11:15 nap

Tried to nap her at 2:45. No luck
Again at 3:45. No luck.

I fed her a bottle at 3:30. And tried again.

What do I do?!?! Try to nap again at 5:00? Or just put her to bed at 6:00?!

Oh no! Days like that are the pits, and for us usually mean feeling a bit "off". I would do EBT as early as you feel comfortable going. Personally, I would do 5:30. Is she in the 2-1 transition? If this happens again I would go for a AP CN in the car, stroller, carrier whatever will knock her out long enough to get to a "normal" BT! Have you read this:From 2 to 1 nap transition (10-12m and older)
Hope this helps!

Sometimes I use a white noise machine turned up kind of loudly when Mini can't calm down and settle.  I don't usually use it, but sometimes when things are rough, it helps shut down his overactivity for a while.  I got a free white noise app for my iPhone in a moment of desperation.  He was out like a light five minutes later.

Oh {hugs}!  We had this the other day! I think it was because my dad was here and she was excited?. It's probably too late now, but we just did EBT at 5.45om. I thought we were definitely in for a rubbish OT night, but actually it was fine... She just woke up 15mins earlier than usual the next morning! I'm thinking as it was not an accumulated OT, she just tacked on the sleep she missed.

Also, the next day I was dreading putting her down for that pm nap, but she went down fine!

Hope your night went ok, good luck for the nap today!

Thanks everyone. I tried CN first-she wouldn't do it. So just ended up with a super EBT. She's been all kinds of wonky lately but I don't know how to help her transition to one nap as she takes her long nap in the am. Can never ever get the second one right-always 30-40 mins. Can't seem to get it any longer no matter when I put her down :(

Our second nap is 30 mins so you're not alone! It's very usual about this time apparently. At least you've got that one long nap.. Some people on here haven't got that! Have you read all the stickies about the 2-1 transition and other peoples routines at 10mo? Really helped me not stress about it too much as it's completely fine to have a short nap now. I'm trying to keep that short pm nap for as long as possible before transitioning her to 1 nap. Suits me tbh otherwise she wouldn't be going to bed until 8 or 9pm  :D

Totally true and I agree! Just wish she'd do the CN in the am and the long nap in the pm! I tried, but she's not having anything to do with it! Ha!

I tried here too.. Nope! I've learned to adapt to it now though. As long as she has her first long nap at home, her second can be out and about and I don't worry about getting home in time for it iykwim?

Ha ha!

Our routine is very different to anything I've seen on the sample links... Had a lot of help with it on here a couple of months ago and we're still tweaking!

Wu 6.15
Get up 6.30
E bottle 6-7oz 6.45
E breakfast 8.15
E bottle 8oz
A 4.5hrs from wu
S 10.45-12.15
E lunch 12.30
E snack (always banana!) and water 2.45
A 3.5hrs
S 3.45-4.15 ish.. Normally takes a while to go to sleep, so tends to be 4-4.30 (I wake her) ::)
E tea 4.30
A 2.75hrs
Bath
Bottle 8-9oz
Bed 7.15 asleep around 7.20-7.30

Yeah, yours is quite different hey? I'm still tweaking here tho too...she just started waking up at 4 (I don't get her til 6...she doesn't cry...just fusses) So I don't know if she's hungry or teething or what. Nothing has changed (except removal of dream feed) and she's waking. I'm exhausted. It's horrid.

Boo that is horrid, poor you.  :(  Have you just removed the DF? Mine started waking early in the first week or so after we stopped it. Don't know why as she was barely taking anything towards the end anyway?! It did settle down though for us.

Have you had someone from the easy board check over your routine just to make sure all is ok? Xx
