Question about A time during 2-1 transition

[Kellyjs]

I'd go back to your 5.30pm BT if she doesn't take the CN

[linny75]

Yeah I think she was a little undertired although she did keep rubbing her eyes about 10.30. What time should BT be if she does take a catnap? X

[Kellyjs]

You could probably push it a little to see if she gets back to a nicer wu. It might even be worth trying a w2s as Martii suggested too to get her over the 5.30 wu just in case it's habitual?

So if you're waking her up at 4.45 after 15mins, I'd look at a 6.45 BT and see how she does?

[linny75]

I just realised she did 5 and half hrs A time after her 5.30 wake up (after a 12 and half hr night). So do you mean if she does a 12 hr night to stick to 5 and half hr morning A time?
Ok I will try catnap 4.30-4.45 and wake to sleep. If she doesn't take the catnap I'm not sure how I can fit in tea, bath, milk , story and bed between 4.45-5.30 though. I would think tea at 4/4.15 would be too early?

She had 5,5h if I am correct so if you get UT nap here - woow:)! But maybe this 12,5h night was so restorative for her that she can bear more so 6h...?

[linny75]

I know I'm actually wondering if it is UT, as she woke crying. If she had enough sleep she usually wakes quite happy. Her A time has never been on the high side either.
I ended up putting her for a nap at 3 as she seemed so tired. She fell asleep 3.15, and waking her now after 20min (I thought she would need the extra 5mins after having her catnap earlier).

Finger crossed for good BT and nice night sleep.

Remember Honey that's you who knows the best your dd and it's you who can assess the best what she needs.

[Kellyjs]

ITA with Martii, you know your LO best. That's excellent she had a CN. Mine would've refused it at this stage in the game! Fx for a good night

[linny75]

I hope so, she was in her cot 6.45, it's 7.11 now and she hasn't quite fallen asleep yet but I think it will be in the next few minutes x

[Martini~]

Btw Kelly - LO is slightly over 1yo, shouldn't weave the thread to toddler sleep:)?

[linny75]

Hi ladies, not great  afraid. She woke at about 4.30 for about 15 mins (couldn't even do wake to sleep), then was in and out of making noise til 5.30 (I didn't go in during time as she was crying, donor sure she even slept between this time). It's 6.24 now and despite several attempts to get her back to sleep she still hasn't fallen back asleep.
So so tired!

[linny75]

I got her up at 7 in the end. I think she is really OT. Maybe I should just go back to a shorter A time , 4/4.5 hrs, which is what she was doing before she started the 2-1 transition and start again from there. What do you think, is this completely the wrong direction? X

[Kellyjs]

You could do and see if she catches up if you think OT. Always worth a go x

Hi Ladies
Back again! Since your reply Kelly, DD developed a horrible cold and cough so her sleep has been completely ruined with NW and EW. I've just kept her going by giving her as many naps as she needed to get through the day. Because of her cough she has been napping 45min so I she would have 3 naps a day. She is on the mend now as of yesterday morning and I'm not sure where to go from here. She has been waking at 5.43 for past 4 nights. Yesterday I pushed her nap to 11.15 (after a 7.10-5.43 night ), and she slept til 1.37, so I kept bedtime at normal decent time of 6.45pm. However she didn't fall asleep until 8pm ! (she was just talking to herself with the occasional screechy yell. She woke at 5.43 this morning so a terrible night of less than 10hrs. What should I do with her naps today? Please help!

[linny75]

She finally fell asleep at 7.30 after talking to herself and me going into her when she yelled. How long should I let her sleep for and when should I put her down for her last nap?
