Hi Guys
Sorry I haven't replied to your last posts for a while. We are getting renovation work done on the house, and things got so bad that I had to move out with LO for a week, very stressful!

So I know this 2-1 transition is difficult but I feel like things are all over the place. My issues are the EWs (which are slowly killing me), lots of 40 minute naps, and the NWs. I hate the way every day starts and ends at a different time as I constantly obsessing with A times etc but i cant see how to fix this.
So some questions:
1. What am I doing wrong?! I would love if someone could point out all the mistakes they can see.
2. At this point should I be doing the majority of days with 1 nap and just 2 when things go wonky or try and stick to 2 as much as poss?
3. There are days were she had a really long day, (like day 1 14 hours) were I would have thought she would have lots of NW but then didnt, what does this mean?
4. Likewise there are days were things have got relatively smoothly like day 7, but we still got an EW of 5.
Basically I'm just looking for any advice anyone has to give, I'm getting so desperate now that I'm tempted to go to 1 nap cold turkey as I dont see how things can get any worse...
