Anyone want to talk about the 2-1 transition #27

[newkidontheblock]

My gosh! She is on a roll!

Wow impressive A times!!

Right I need to push our morning A.  How quick is acceptable do you think?  We are doing 4h30/10.30am nap right now.  I'm thinking a few days at 4h45/10.45am and then push to 5h/11am?  And hope for the best??!

LOL for us it just happened from one day to the next. She just refused to nap at her usual time at 10:45-ish (with WU around 7) Ever since 1st nap is 11:30 the earliest. 

[jessmum46]

Blah, DS started walking yesterday and I think I messed up with an UT bedtime ending to a very silly night.  Our EASY:

WU 5.55
Nap 10.35-12.35 (woke but settled himself after 35 mins)
Nap 16.35-17.05 - I was surprised he took this
BT pd 7pm but chattered for around 25 mins, then lots of wakings on and off until around midnight, then up for the day from around 5.30am .

Ugh.

Oh this 2:1 is not fun

Im in such a pickle!
PM nap and BT is being refused so much and its gettin exhausting!

Does my day look ok?

Wu: 8am
Nap1- 11.35- 1pm (shes always so ready for this nap and im pushing to 3.45 A time)
Nap2: 4.30-5 (having to APOP and i am wakening)
BT- 7.30pm

She has just started crawling and when i put her into cot at BT she just tries to crawl until i eventually lift her and cuddle her to sleep which is starting such a bad habit!

We have a wakeup at 5.30/6am and we bring her into bed and she goes back to sleep after 10-20mins usually.

I dont know how to get BT back to normal that i just put her into cot and she goes to sleep herself!

Sorry if i shouldnt be posting this in here!

[jessmum46]

Hent89 I think your day could do with being longer as a start.  You've only got an 11.5h day, it's normal for the day to extend out to 12.5/13h before the 2-1

I would try

WU 8
Nap 11.45-1.15 hopefully
Nap 4-5
BT 8ish

What do you think?

[Henty]

Ok i will give that a go today and see how she does! Fingers crossed!
Thankyou xo

[Henty]

Just noticed u said to do PM nap at 4pm, But thats just after 2.45 A time? Would i not need to do it at 5pm?
Thanks! Xx

[jessmum46]

Sorry yes, was a bad night here!!

WU 8
Nap 11.45-1.15
Nap 5-5.45
BT 8ish

Xx

[Henty]

Aww sorry, hope ur day goes ok!

thank you!! X

Hi all ... we are doing pretty well with 1 nap here. All though Saturday ended up a 2 nap day as she woke early from her nap due to a poopy diaper  Of course there was trouble at BT and we got an EW. I do not like 2 nap days 

[jessmum46]

Glad it's going well Suzanna!  Teeth and colds are sent to ruin our attempt at 2-1 sadly.  Today has been a bit messy - after a unsettled night and EW our WU was 6.45, nap 11.15-11.55 eventually resettled for about an hour 12.30-1.30 I can only guess the nap was OT, he had tried to doze off in the pushchair at about 10.30am.  So not sure how to play the rest of the day.  May see if he will accept a CN otherwise maybe around 6.15pm BT? 

[Henty]

We pushed to 3.45 A time and she was so much easier to settle yay!!

We only got a 35min catnap from 16.55-17.30 so what would be BT? Should she be asleep for 8pm?

[jessmum46]

After 35 mins my LO would go down after 2h-2h15 so I'd go more like 7.30pm....but all LOs are different . Sorry that's not much help but you are probably best placed to see how your LO is coping x

[Henty]

Hmmmm my DH thinks keeping her up to 8pm is too long but if i put her down at 7.30pm it would only be a 11.5hr day again?

She shows NO tired signs at any time so its tricky to read her!
