Thanks ladies, really appreciate your responses and support!
Kellyjs - I can't think of any props that have been introduced lately other than the dummy which I only gave her back the other night (but I take it out as soon as she's fully asleep and she doesn't wake up). I guess I've been bringing her into bed with me more often now especially around 3am/4am when the NW got worse she wouldn't resettle. I thought maybe she just liked the scent of us (and also she likes to burrow into our pillows) so I've tried putting our pillows in her cot (while watching her) until she falls asleep then removing them but not really helping much.
I was also wondering if she needs less DT sleep but she seems so knackered by nap time - not sure how much I could push beyond 3 hours of A time at the moment without her having a full on meltdown. Here's our schedule over the last few days, been pretty much the same give or take 1/2 hour depending if she wakes up at 06:30 or 07:00...
Wake: 07:00
E: 07:30 (bottle 6 oz) then breakfast 30 - 45 mins later (porridge or weetabix with fruit)
A: 07:00 - 10:00 - breakfast, play with toys, playgym etc, wash and dress
S: 10:00 - 11:30 / 12:00 - usually wakes up 30 minutes in and will only take full 1.5 hour nap if I then lie beside her in my bed.
E: 11:30 (bottle 5/6oz) then lunch around 1 hour later (depending on if we have a class or not, is so then she has lunch after class and before her next nap) - (sandwich and finger foods)
A: 11:30 - 14:30 - swimming or baby class (e.g. baby sensory, music class etc) or walk around the park
S: 14:30 - 16:00 / 16:30 - will usually be out and about so mostly often a nap in her pram
**NB if she's woken up at 06:30 and hasn't had two good naps, I usually let her catnap for 20 minutes around 16:30**
E: 16:00 (bottle 5/6oz) but seems to be getting ready to drop this feed now that she's eating more solids
A: 16:00 -17:30 - still usually out and about walking or playing with toys in the house
E: 17:30 - Dinner (meat and veg mash and fruit pudding)
Bath & Story: 18:00
E: 18:30/18:45 - Bedtime bottle (6oz)
Bedtime: 19:00 (Now taking me until 21:00 to get her to actually go to sleep!!)
NW #1 - 00:30 ish - will usually resettle quite quickly with some sssh/pat
NW #2 - 01:40 ish - will usually resettle quite quickly with some ssssh/pat
NW #3 - 03:30 / 04:00 - seems much more awake and is harder to resettle. Usually end up bringing her into bed with me or putting her in the travel cot next to me.
Wake: 06:30 again and the days starts over.
Kimberlina - Yes, I've got the WW app which is really useful. At one point though it was too depressing to look at when she was meant to be in a 'sunny' period but was in fact being a nightmare...then I could see the 'dark cloud' phase was looming! We're definitely going through a leap though - she's started trying to crawl and is babbling more. I really do hope this passes soon!
Any advice on our schedule and DT sleep / A times would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
