Thanks for your advice again!
When you say keep a decent A til bed, after a 20 min CN how long roughly would that be? I feel that she needs around 2-2.5 hrs, if more I feel she gets OT as I tried about 3 hrs A time. Or do you mean to not get a too long day?
Well things didn't go too well as she was woke 1:35 crying for over 2 hrs, but think that was because she got a cold and nose was blocked. I woke her around 7 am next day. How should I go about if she has i.e. a cold but not fever with sleep and naps? Try to stick to usual EASY? She wasn't teething earlier so maybe she wasn't feeling well just before cold.
She can be very fussy in am, don't know what it is, if she is OT or something else, but it is very strange. Nowadays I take her out also in am and she is in better mood. She can rub her eyes around 9 am, but don't know if that is because she is tired. Find it hard to know always as she can be rubbing her eyes at anytime throughout the day.
On Saturday we were at family's place so she was supposed to sleep her am nap there in travel bed, but she was so worked up and playing in bed that we had to pat her in the end to fall asleep and then she woke after 25 mins and couldn't get her back to sleep. Should she have same A time as after a full nap before CN when sleeping for 25 mins? I put her down for CN earlier than usual as she was tired. I find it tricky to get her to bed earlier after CN as she usually needs same A time after CN usually to fall asleep even if she is OT. She was def OT after that day for a while. I have posted EASY days below. She has been going down fine for her CN in pram for past few days (maybe cause OT) and I've tried to do it a bit earlier to get her to bed earlier in evening so days are not too long as I notice she is more tired when not sleeping for at least 11 hrs and she tend not to sleep past 6 am.
Today she was playing in bed for over 30 mins, standing up all the time, I tried putting her down several times and then finally she fell asleep, A time 5.5 hrs. If she sleeps over 1.5 hrs should I skip CN or have it anyways as it might be late for CN?
We are travelling next weekend by car, it is a long trip. If she does not fall asleep in car or sleep long for her am nap what do I do then? We will be travelling the whole day and also when it is time for her BT, what is your advice? If she doesn't fall asleep in the car (we don't have a car so she has not been in a car that many times and when she has she hasn't been too happy about it) can I get her to fall asleep in pram and then put her in car seat? Just worried she won't sleep in car and be so OT.
When travelling and LO is on 1 nap per day, what is your advice if that 1 nap is not long enough or does not happen at all?
I really feel that it is def not worth pushing for 1 nap when LO is not ready as you advice. It just a roller coaster of OT and UT I feel, but she gets easily OT if not sleeping enough. I know you said if she sleeps am nap for 2 hrs I can skip CN, she has been sleeping 1 hr 45 mins do you advice to skip CN then also or stick with CN? It is a but tricky I feel, as days will then be too long for her with CN, but maybe OT if without CN. Maybe I should just wake her after 1.5 hrs to keep CN. What do you think?
