So, after our 1 nap day yesterday, J actually had an awesome night - 7:15 to 6:40ish am. No need to re-up pain meds as I'd predicted, so maybe the worst of her first 2 teeth are over.
Here was today:
WU 6:40ish
Nap #1 11;15 to 12:45
Nap #2 4:20 to 4:50
Bed 8:45
So what seems to be working is a 4.5 A time in the morning. The issue is how long the nap ends up being and how to fit in a catnap if needed. Yesterday, she did a 2.5 hr nap on 4.5 A time. Today, it was only 1.5 hrs so not enough to get to bedtime. But, with an afternoon catnap, it's a 14 hour day... And a much later bt than I'd prefer. The only positive tonight was that I put her down at 8:30 and she was able to at least roll around on her own for 20 minutes and self-settle. (I've already admitted to MJN that I'm the worst APOP ever,
But at least tonight, I was able to leave her to it and she did finally crash.)
Kind of opposite of you, SM, she seems able to handle 5+ hrs to bed on a 1 nap day (2.5hr nap). Maybe I just need to keep nudging that 1st A time so the day is more balanced with a shorter nap. Or should I keep it, and try to shave the catnap shorter if she needs it (problem is DH here as he is in charge of this nap 3 days per week).
Really, no matter what I do, she probably just needs another month or 2 before she's fully ready for 1 nap. Oy, this silly transition! So close....
