Viktoria,
Heidi suggested I look into this post because my lo is fighting her BT due to long A and last nap too close top BT too.  Have you tried a shorter 2nd nap?  Today I felt so guilty waking her after 30 minutes. We'll see how it goes tonight!

This is what we have tried today:

7.45 wu
11.35 nap-12.35
4.25 nap-5
7.55BT

Usually the first nap is 1.20 min, not sure why it was cut short today.
He did wake 25 min after BT but easily resettled and still asleep now, so we will see how the night goes.
What does your day look like and how are the nights for you?

scrap that woke 2 hours later, so pretty much the usual nonsense, so likely to be awake every 2 hours now sigh......

Pretty terrible actually, his first tooth came through yesterday its just sticking out from his gum, so im wondering if that is contributing to even more night wakings.

Yes teeth usually lead to disturbed nights! DD3 got her first two teeth at 6 months and we still have had no more!

Sorry you had a rough night Viktoria.  I hope tonight goes more smoothly.  Try motrin (it lasts longer than tylenol) and teething tablets (homeopathic).  When my DD started cutting her teeth she was up every 2 hours too.  It was horrendous :(  Thankfully we seem to be back on track with 2 NW for nursing and sometimes 1-2 resettles.  One thing that I changed, and I am not sure if this relates, but we BF and she was nursing every 2 hours during the day, and once I stretched her feeds out gradually to 4 hours during the day she now goes 4 hours at night.  I also discovered that her sudden long A was due to a catnap while she was nursing right before her first nap. I didn't even realize she was sleeping!  It allowed her to go all the way until 10:45, where normally if she woke at 6:20 she would be down by 9:30ish with a really long A before bed.

Motrin is also and anti inflammatory so that is a bonus. If it gets really bad you can use both alternatively to cover the period where one wears off. I tend to use tylenol in the day and save the motrin for bedtime.

Thank you Ladies, i medicate during the day about 40 mins before thr nap, yesterday i forgot and nugget woke after 20 min....

We are sort of playing with the afternoon A times to see what works but i have a feeling we are on our way to 2-1 and heck it will be bumpy.

Our days are becoming very long as een after a short nap in the pm he is not ready for bed unless he has around 3.30A. I mean i can get him to sleep before that but he will be up every 40 min until about 11-12 before he settles for a stretch of 2-3 hours.
Oh thesr babies just when u think ur getting sonewhere things change.

Yup they sure like to keep us guessing! Can you bring the catnap earlier? I always apop the catnap so until she was outright refusing it even by apop I could get her down for 30 mins even if the previous A time was short and that left lots of A time before bed.

Funny enough i tried to do a UT nap yesterday, so after 3 hours of A time tried getting him to nap, i was defeated, went for a walk and he only fell asleep as usual after 3.50 min A time.
I think i need to start capping the pm nap, else im not sure whay to do as we also started getting early wakings for the last couple of days and i reckon its because ofthe late BT.

I meant 4.20 of course. We had BT shnanigans, agter 30 min nap he seemed very tired after 2 hours no luck putting him down, tried after 2.30 and then after 3A he fell asleep on me! This is a first! A lovely tender moment but im confused whether OT or the nap messing it up big time.

Aww so sweet when they fall asleep on you! Hmmm...just brainstorming - do you think it migh work better if you swapped and did a short am and then long pm nap? I know this seems to work better for some babies. Might be easier to get the catnap first?

Well today has been a 40 min nap after 3.50A in the morn and on the way back from swimming fell asleep in the car after 3hoursA and still asleep so 50 mins now. Will see how BT turns out and whether i can repeat this at home without the car drive.
