Help with 3 to 2 transition (now 2-1 transition!)

[LittleSplasherMum]

Ok, he's had a good 1.20h nap this morning, so will try 3.40/3.45 before pm nap. Hopefully he'll do an hour and we can have a later bt without pushing the A time, fingers crossed!

So tomorrow, should I jump to 3.50 in the morning and leave the afternoon at 3.40?

[Kellyjs]

Sounds good hun, I wouldn't be too afraid to push that pm nap to 3.45 as he had such a good nap this morning x

[LittleSplasherMum]

I was going to, but the crappy clock we have in his room is slow and I put him down too early, so 3.40  At least we are half an hour ahead today, so bt 6.45 at the earliest!

[Kellyjs]

Oh well, remember all the days tell us something! We'll know after this nap whether he could go a bit longer or not  x

[LittleSplasherMum]

He slept 1.15hr! hurray!  Woke at 3.30, so put him down for bt at 6.55, asleep at 7.10. I could have probably got away with a bit later, but didn't want to push it. That was the best day in a while! let's hope there'll be more like this!

So tomorrow morning I'll try 3.50 and see how long he naps. If it's good I'll go for 3.45 in the afternoon, fingers crossed! x

[Kellyjs]

Yay and yay!!! 

Hope the wu is good for you tomorrow am and keep me posted how the day goes. Don't be too disheartened if it doesn't work tomorrow ok? Not saying it won't, but sometimes you think you've cracked it, get all excited, only to feel really sh*t when it backfires. I really think we're getting somewhere, this is sooo much better than when we started xx

[LittleSplasherMum]

Ok, will do! I always expect the worse now, especially in the afternoon, so if it goes well, it's a bonus! x

[Kellyjs]

Love your style hun! I remember when DD finally started napping longer than 45mims.. Didn't know what to do with myself! Everything crossed for you here xx

[LittleSplasherMum]

Today so far, kind of woke at 5.05, made some noise for 10 min, then asleep, a little noise again, asleep till 6.10, I'll take it! Down for nap at 10 till 11.15ish, not great  but he stayed up ok. Should I still keep him up for 3.45 now? that'll take me to 3, so even if he sleeps half an hour, I will still do bt at 7, which is great 

[Kellyjs]

Yep, I'd do it hun. It's kind of setting the naps which I think is fine to do at this age just to get some consistency in! Xx

[LittleSplasherMum]

Didn't go down for his nap well this afternoon, cried a little bit, so I thought half an hour here...he did 40 minutes, oh well.. woke at 3.45, so I think I've got enough time for a 7.15 bt unless he seems too tired. Will try the same tomorrow, shall I? Thanks!

[Kellyjs]

I'd hold it for another few days hun, we've moved it so much recently. Have a feeling yet another bump will be on the cards soon ish, but as I said before, that'll take you into 2-1 territory xx

[LittleSplasherMum]

Ok, I'm happy where we are now, as he went to sleep at 7.15 tonight, perfect! Hopefully he'll get used to this new schedule and won't wake at 5am anymore!  xx

[Kellyjs]

I definitely think moving that first nap out was the right thing to do there! Xx

Great wu this morning, 6.20! only woke between 1 and 2am, but didn't cry, so not sure if he was just stirring or what... He then stirred at around 5am, but didn't wake. Morning nap again 1.15/20 after A time of 3.45 (couldn't manage more). Afternoon, went to park, thought I had all the time, came back at 2.35, he was asleep in the buggy! Put him in his cot, cried a bit, but carried on sleeping, but only for 35/40 minutes  not good, but I will persevere with bt at 7ish.

Tomorrow morning we have his check up at 10  what would you do about his nap? it will depend on his wu, but not sure is I should just keep him up and he might fall asleep on the way (we are walking and it takes about 20 minutes). I'd rather he fell asleep on the way back, I could always hang around somewhere if the weather is nice...
