Ok, I'm here. I have wine, so I'm ready
.
No, I'd never recommend not going out and about. I presume that's what's holding you together atm with all these NW's? Once we get more into it, it may be that you can have one nap at home and one out and about but hopefully once we get a more stable routine in place you'll be able to plan things anyway
Can I just ask? Does she self settle those times when she wakes briefly at night? Or when she's just restless?
For the first day. Actually I don't think this is too bad and actually what we might base things on if you done mind? I reckon the day might be a tad too long for her that day but it's not too far off. But you had no long NW's that night.
Ok wrt the first A, let's start there. We'll ignore Sunday as that short A did yield a good nap but that was after the longest NW slightly earlier. I think we should go ahead and jump straight to 3hrs 45mims first A wdyt? You're kind of doing that anyway although doing pu/pd until wu time. Thursday was 4hrs 15 first A really so I don't think it'll be too hard to handle.
I'll go back to Wednesday. What we did see is that after that shortish nap, she managed to go 3hrs 50mims A and that yielded the best nap yet didn't it? That's also what I'm basing that first A idea on too if you see what I mean? I know it was a little bit of a struggle, but actually you did close to that on Friday and also got a good afternoon nap but that was after a 1hr 20mins nap. so maybe going back to 3hrs 45mins there might work?
So now you've had to read through my stream of consciousness, sorry about that
. This is what I think might work. It will be going down the route of set naps really, but I hope with this you'll get some consistency and feel a little better wdyt? I've got a really good idea as to what she's capable of now with these logs, so we can but give it a go? It may need tweaking, actually it almost certainly will, but I think this will give us a good baseline as to where to go ok?
So wu: I'm going to average this at 6 for now it may be earlier or later, but keep with pu/pd but maybe only until 6.30am if that's ok?
A 3hrs 45mins
Nap 1 9.45- 11 hopefully
A 3hrs 45mins
Nap 2 2.45- 4? Maybe
A 2 hrs 30 mins
BT 6.30pm
I know BT is Earlier than you have been doing but I want to try that shorter last A to see if it make a difference to the restless early evening. It may not work, but try it for me? Xx
