Hun can you post your whole EASy for the last 2-3 days?  What time is 'usual' bedtime?  I would do an EBT but somewhere in the range of her usual time.

What did you decide?  I guess I'd have gone around 7pm ish, but it's only a guess, I can't see how she's coping.  I'm wondering just looking at those three days you posted whether it may be worth sticking where you are with your first A, lengthening the second given you are getting a shorter second nap most days, with the aim of a shorter A before bed?  How was she on waking from her 30 min nap this afternoon?

Have you tried any days recently where you have ignored the clock and just gone on cues to see what happens?

Went for 7 and she's out like a light. She's been grumpy since she woke at 30 mins I've pretty much had to carry her around.  She was really grumpy before BT. 

I've never really gone with her cues recently as she acts tired early but maybe I just ignores that and wait to see if she does it again later?

Lots better than the other night.

BT 7
NW 19:30
NW 19:46
NW 20:19
NW 22:20 (fed 5oz,then re-settled without dummy)
NW 1:30 (fed 5oz, then re-settled without dummy)
NW 4:45
NW 5:20
NW 5:45
WU 7:30 (I woke her)

It looks like a lot but none lasted very long, both feeds I lay her back down awake and left and she settled herself. I wasn't going to feed at both but her wee cry sounded very hoarse so I thought a wee drink might help. I could have given water but I didn't want to upset her if she's not feeling well after the horrendous previous night.

So do you think I should try 3hrs 20 for the second  A then how long would you do to BT?

How's your day been today?  Honestly I can't really speculate on how long of an A she might need  :-\ :-* I'm not there seeing how she is doing, and it will depend on lots of factors including length of naps, EWs, NWs etc etc.  I wouldn't be too shy of pushing her a bit, I know she's been HSN but she's nearly 9 months and still doing A times many 6-7 month old handle like a breeze ;)  if UT is contributing to rough nights then it becomes a vicious cycle as she will be more tired in the day from broken nights and continue to nap well on short A times.

Did you have to go to her for every single waking?  I wonder if perhaps you could be rushing in a bit fast??

HI sweetie, Today we had a 1hr 6min nap and a 39min nap so I put her to bed after a 3hr A time.

Ok so I need to be brave and bite the bullet. Would you wait until she is better or just go for it? Also would you still go 10mins every 3 days?

I leave her for a little while if she self settles she generally has 1 loud outburst then a quiet moan and back to sleep, if not she just gets louder and louder. I don't think the dummy is helping so I might use her having the cold to try to get rid of it (maybe).

Sorry to butt in but my DD is 9 months next week and we just had a HUGE leap in A times. She went from 3 hours to 4.5 hours within a month as i had soooo many NWs, literally she was up every hour from 1am-7am. And her naps were 1hr 15mins! I was like you scared to bite the bullet and jump her A time but it was the best thing i did.
Hope u get sorted soon! X

Hi sweetheart, you butt away  ;D. That is a huge leap in a month but I guess you are both right. Its the fear of getting OT that keeps me holding back but I'm getting NW's anyway so really what difference would it make. Thanks for coming on honey, its always nice to hear your not alone in these things.

I no, its such a huge leap and im pretty sure shes LSN but past 3 nights we have had 12hour nights in a row for the first time EVER. Im not saying you need that huge leap but from my personal experience bumping the A times when nothing is working definetly helps- i would rather deal with OT than UT. You definetly aren't alone and i know its so hard but everything has to get better at some point so im hoping thats soon for you! X
