Hi!
I am pretty sure it cannot be undertiredness. I always start winding her down when I see she starts yawning, rubbing her eyes etc and is generally disinterested in playing. Today, this has happened 40 mins after she started the day, and for other naps - around 20 mins after she woke (ie I fed her, barely started any activity and she already yawned, rubbed her eyes etc). This has never happened before.
You see, she used to have 3 1.5hr naps and one 1hr one. Over the course of past week she started replacing those long naps with 35-45min ones. Today she has not had ANY normal nap. I would not mind if she was happy and active otherwise, but sheis obviously tired beyond imagination. The past days have been total regression. She even fighted our bedtime routine, which she always enjoyed.
Needless to say, our routine today was all over the place...
8:30 am E then A - start of day
9:20 signs of tiredness
9:40 S - she falls sleep
10:15 wake up, she is alert and playful - E (she feeds 5-8 mins, she is super efficient) then a bit of A
10:35 - signs of tiredness, intense eye rubbing etc. I start calming her down for a nap, which she fights by crying and fussing. This drives her immediately to OT
12:00 - S - she finally falls asleep... For 40 minutes.
And the cycle continues till 5pm, after which she fights napping and is awake till 8:30pm (i started her bed time routine as always at 7:15)
I honestly am at my wits end. Yesterday and before yesterday were bad, but today is only fussing and crying. She wont settle unless I hold her upright and walk around the house... I am a zombie.
It really got hot during the past 3-4 days, so I am unsure whether that is a factor. Also, we have moved to our summer house 4 days ago, so maybe this changed of place added to the crankiness (even before we moved she wasn't "herself" though...)
Ehh, I will really appreciate any advice you might have, as I am completely exhausted and out of ideas...
