Given all that's going on, they're doing pretty well, then.

They are doing well with everything. Leo still very unwell took him to the doctors today said it was a virus and keep an eye on him as it's going about and the kids are getting hit with chest infections. Lewis still waking early, but settling when it's about time to get up.

Leo is now feeling better, a few times over the past few days he's either woke around 4am and cried and been very unsettled taking 2 hrs for me to settle him. Yesterday this happened at his nap time, he woke 1hr 10 mins into his nap but went back to sleep until 1:30 (usually 13:45 wu time)

I feel like I'm not being very consistent with a routine and feeling completely lost with it.

It does seem like leo needs more sleep than Lewis.

Sunday

6:30ish wu
10:00 nap 30 mins in bouncer as we were heading out for visiting for their birthday.
14:30 nap in car til we got home (15mins)
B/time 18:00

Monday
6:45 wu
Nap 11:45 (2hrs with no wakings)
B/time was around 7:15 ad we were out for their b/day

Tuesday
6:30 wu
Nap 11:45 ( Leo woke at 12:55 very unsettled and went back to sleep until 1:30
B/time 19:00

Leo woke at 3:50 it took a few attempts for him to settle. Eventually I had to lay in beside him to settle a little and fell asleep at 5 and woke up crying at 6:30. This has happened a few times over the last few days :(

Again Leo woke at 12:55 same went back to sleep til 1:30 and wouldn't sleep any longer. My thoughts are he is UT or his ear infection hasn't totally cleared up but he seems ok during the day...

Leo sounds a little OT, hun :( I wonder if a slightly earlier BT might help Leo? Just say 15min before Lewis to give him that touch more and not mess with your day too much? If Lewis is waking Leo in the morning (WDYT?), he may just need that bit more in the evening.

They're doing very well on one nap for such young fellows, really.

Ear infections are so tricky, they can be so painful and they can just not bother LO - depends on so many variables. DS doesn't even notice he has them most of the time and the doctor winces when she sees his infections. It could be that but generally when going to pen nap initially, a shorter nap with unsettled waking is OT/discomfort even though its not that typical 30 min nap. That BT a touch earlier for Leo and thus a slightly longer night may well help. So glad to see they tacked on that day when they had two short naps when you were out and about, such a great sign :)

Oh poor Leo :( he's had such a bad time of it, ok will keep his b/t early and hopefully things will improve.

He does seem ok during the day, not as clingy and tearful as before but yet a tad grumpy.
Last night slight improvement, I put them both down at 6:20 and lewis was still chatting away til 6:30, leo woke at 21:15 last night and then again 4:50 and was easier to settle and i woke him at 7 this morning, so perhaps lewis 6:30 and Leo 6:15 maybe earlier.

He may just be that slight bit more sensitive to an 'out of routine' day too, yk? See how he goes over the next few days xx

You were spot on! After waking Leo at 7 he went to sleep at 11:45 and woke once 13:15 and went back to sleep til the 2 hr mark.hopefully as you say he can catch up over the next few days.

Lewis woke a little earlier this morning at 6:20 after 6:30 b/t slightly shorter night and also woke Leo as well. Not sure if the extra A time agreed with him or not.

Defiantly doesn't agree with lewis, tried to put him down for 18:20 and he just cried so I thought he mustn't be ready. So had the rest of my dinner and took him back up 6:50  woke up at 5:50 unhappy and again waking Leo too.

Leo certainly improving but woke at 9:30 last night and then Lewis woke him at 6:20.

Just wondering if their sleep needs are varying due to development? Backtracking and offering a longer night can definitely help in those cases.

Complete disaster yesterday, they both only slept 1.5hrs and both woke 35mins into their nap. So I thought either early b/t or nap, I made the wrong choice and went for EBT instead both up crying at 5:20 and wouldn't go back to sleep so I managed to keep them settled until 6:15.

I feel now I've completely lost control over their A times and sleep. I think we may need to go back to two naps but I don't know where to start... What a mess I thought they could handle it :(
