Hi, we canceled the big trip but went on a 2 day trip nearby and stayed at the hotel. It was so surprising when she fell asleep for her nap in the dining room of the hotel ;))) We were not lucky the next morning though. What I don't like about the travel is that basically if she is not napping she eats too often and falls asleep on the breast. But what can we do. It is better than have her screaming all day trying to put her down independently and not to go anywhere.
I bought a book about wonder weeks. It helps a lot. But it looks like we are 'wondering' fot too long ;)))
The nights were bad by every two hours eating time. No matter how we tried to delay it. It started after the two night growth spurt I think. But maybe it is still a growth spurt who knows...
I decided not to feed her to bed anymore and see if that helps her night wakening. Not easy especially if she doesn't have that last nap during the witching hour. Sometimes she does sometimes she doesn't ;)
Thanks for encouragement ! Hope some patterns will be seen soon. If not, I have to remember that she might be just different and have her own schedule :)

Good on you! There's plenty of time to teach independent sleep so don't worry about that especially if you're away. That's so funny about the dining room. At least you might have had a nice meal in peace?!

I think that's a good idea about trying not to feed to sleep now. Just don't beat yourself up about it if it doesn't happen.. Enjoy the extra snuggles while they last! xx

Thanks! Will try to enjoy  and not to worry  about AP and other things ;) Anyways I am so tired that fall asleep with her on the breast from time to time.
I actually sang a lullaby for her at the dining room and she went to sleep. I was laughing about how kids can really be unpredictable ;)
