Lots of NW - Cant seem to fix it.(BT ADVICE FOR TONIGHT PLEASE)

[Eva's Mummy]

2hr and 5 mind second nap then 3hrs 8 mind to BT.  Had to get dd1 in bed so couldn't go any earlier.  Hope she has a good night, I can't do a full day on a 4:40 wu. Dh has hurt his back so he is totally out of action to x

I'm still doing a df do you think I should stop in the hope she wakes earlier so is easier to settle?

[Eva's Mummy]

Well only 1 ENW where she self settled. Then I decide not to DF just to see what happened. Well she woke at 23:15 I fed her and it took 10mins to get her back down, then that was her. I had to wake her at 7:30 (yippee). Long may it last, if it does the its time to sort out DD1's 5:30 WU's (If its not 1 its another) x

[jessmum46]

Ha yes don't I know it . Glad you got a good night, hope it lasts xx

[Eva's Mummy]

Woohoo, 1 ENW at 8:30 a 30sec hand on chest to settle then that was her all night long until I woke her in the morning. I have even dropped the DF so tonight I am going to bed early 

It looks like she is regulating her day sleep to around 3 hours, we seem to get 1 long nap and 1 shorter 1. If she has a short am nap she will have a long pm or vice versa its not consistent.

[jessmum46]

Sounds good!  Great she is regulating and sleeping better overnight

[Eva's Mummy]

Think I just jinxed it. It took ages to get her to sleep so A time was about 3hrs 20 then we had a WU after 30mins more upset than usual. So we will see what the night brings.

I think maybe UT leading to OT as after her bottle she sat up and started clapping her hands 

[jessmum46]

Sounds like it doesn't it?  Oh well, today is a new day

[Eva's Mummy]

We have had 2 short naps today.

WU 7:39
A 3hrs 1min
S 10:40 - 11:18 (38 mins)
A 2hrs 59mins
S 14:17 - 15:06 (49 mins)
A 3hrs 18mins
BT 18:24

I lay her down at 3hrs 2mins, as soon as I left she was crying when I went back in and sat down she was chatting away so i'm guessing after these couple of full nights sleep and good naps she is ready for a push in A times again.

So what do you think, 3hrs 15mins or is that a bit much and would you push all 3 A times or just 1 at a time?

I could imagine if I push she will start napping longer again so it might look like this:

WU 7:30
A 3hrs 15
S 10:45 - 12:45
A 3hrs 15
S 16:00 - 17:30
A 3hrs 15
BT 20:45

However this looks late, what would you suggest to bring BT to around 19:45ish?

Oh and last night even after our ENW she had 1 NW at around 11ish took 30mins to settle then I heard her at 3ish, I got up made a bottle and by the time i got back she was asleep again.

[Eva's Mummy]

And we just had our first nw 30 mind in.

[Eva's Mummy]

Disaster of a day, we had a good night just 1 NW where I fed her and settled within 30mins.

WU 7:36
A 3hrs 13mins
S 10:49 - 11:58(1hr 9mins)

Then it all goes wrong, I was out getting my eyebrows tattooed on  and left DH instructions to have her sleeping for 15:05 well when I called him after my appointment he said she just cried and cried so he got her up so no nap. That drives me nuts, she was obviously just OT and needed help going to sleep.

It was 5 when I got home and DD1 hadn't napped at the CM's either so I got them bot sorted and DD2 was asleep for 18:06, that's 6hrs 8mins A time. I am not looking forward to tonight at all.

So assuming I have a horrific night, would you pull back tomorrows A times, let her lie in in the morning or just stick to the usual day?

[jessmum46]

Oh yuck never mind,my here things happen.  I would let her sleep in probably then do a normal A first thing, but be prepared for 10-15 mins early if she seems to be struggling.  Hope the night isn't as bad as you fear xx

[Eva's Mummy]

So she was up from 3:30 - 5:37 then DD2 got up at 5:50 

I let her sleep until 8:30 then nap was 11:30 - 13:40 (I woke her). So its going to be a late BT but I will wake her after 11hrs sleep to try to get things back to normal tomorrow. Assuming she takes her next nap and it was just a daddy thing yesterday.

I need my bed 

[Eva's Mummy]

I think we are in need of a push. Yesterday all her A times were 3 hours and we got a 1.5hr nap and a 36mins nap. BT was easy to get her down then she had a ENW after 1hr (settled easily). Then another at 3:35 took 20mins to settle the up again at 4:30-5:30 and she was wide awake try to play with my hands and hair, chatting away grabbing the bars in the cot so I assume UT.

The question is would you increase all A times, even though we getting a good am nap, or just the second A time and the one before BT, also would you go for 15mins? 

[jessmum46]

I think if first nap ok then stick with that A time and increase the second one 10-15 mins, and the one to bed too provided second nap is good x

[Eva's Mummy]

Hmm I'm wondering what is going on, we are still having 1 NW but it can be anytime 23:00, 00:30, 2:00, 3:15, 4:30. I have been feeding her on he NW sometimes she will drain the bottle others only 1-2oz.

Last night she woke at 23:00 took 2 oz then settled but woke 1hr later, I gave meds in case it's was teeth and she went back to sleep until the morning so possibly its that. There has been a tiny tiny dot of a tooth showing for weeks now and not getting any bigger at all
