Question about A time during 2-1 transition

[linny75]

She just woke up 11.44, so about 5min shy of 2 hrs. Do you think ebt of 5 or catnap of 15min at 4.30?

Erm not too sure tbh, I would try for a CN then if she refuses do EBT. She was obviously shattered though!!

For future, would you consider doing a quick 10-15mins CN at say 9.15am if you think she won't make it to her usual nap time? This is what I used to do with DD when we were further down the transition. Then it could see her through until close to her usual nap time or a little later. Say 12pm. Wdyt? It just helped me with the consistency but it's totally up to you.

When we started the transition I could never do short am/long pm, but what I said above did help us here and there when we were mostly on one nap.

Sure I can try that. But does it solve the EW problem, although only 15 min nap, it's still a nap in the morning? Xx

[Kellyjs]

Yes and no. I would only do it if you really feel she's not going to make it. So not more than say twice a week if possible. Also, the fact you're not letting her sleep too long too early in the morning will hopefully convince her to go back to sleep in the early hours. Might work better than a nice long nap at 10am then there's too much of a possibility of her refusing the pm CN leaving a long A to BT. That for me is far worse for EW and NW!

Hi Kelly, keeping you updated. She had a short 10-15 min catnap at 4.15-4.30. Although I she was in her cot by 6.30 she didn't fall asleep til 7.15, but that's still decent I guess. Please let her give me a good night tonight! X

[Kellyjs]

I'm not surprised she didn't fall asleep until then, still a good BT though. Hoping for a good wu tomorrow am for you x

Hi Kelly
So DD NW is still happening. Last night she was asleep by 6.45 and woke 11.45 screaming and didn't properly settle and fall back asleep til 1. She woke twice again after. I have her ibuprofen  before bed but didn't want to give it again only 5 hrs later. Ibuprofen doesn't seem to be working I'm not even sure it's teething pain anymore. WDYT? Teething or something else?
The past 2 mornings (including thus morning) she has had her nap 11.30 for 1.45/2 hrs.

How many nights you have these NW already?

[linny75]

About 4 nights x

I count anything up to 5/8 nights a temporary shenanigans - which can happen because of teeth or illness. I observe routine, but generally I try not to make any big changes too quickly. I don't know how long it will be for molars or canines to cut through (maybe longer than incisors) but I wouldn't panic yet. Btw for us meds weren't also helping... Being honest, nothing helped....
