I have no idea what that's about, possibly OT, I guess. Is she still sleeping ok once asleep?

[labrodyk]

it's very odd! she did it this morning with her after-breakfast bottle and rubbed her head into my chest repeatedly! She seems to sleep fine once asleep.

She slept 6.50-6.40 last night but it was a MASSIVE struggle to get her to 10am nap. Just so different each day.

[becj86]

Headache? Wouldn't it be nice if they came with some sort of clear communication device!

[labrodyk]

Perhaps, she's had some Panadol/nurofen...

Ok; so we got barely an hour. She got through 40 minutes but couldn't stay asleep. Doesn't seem like she's had enough sleep.

There should be an app where she can be translated! Lol

[becj86]

It makes sense she'd do an UT nap but still, hard to know what to do when she's upset Nice night sleep though.

[labrodyk]

Hmmmm, night sleep was good - almost 12 hours - but something is missing from our day!

Nap. 1: 10-11ish at home
Nap 2: tried from 2pm in pram - no sleep.  Car from 3.05-3.20, woke as soon as I was in the driveway and put the car in park!!!

[becj86]

but something is missing from our day!

Yeah, sleep!

[labrodyk]

I just want to cry.... Crappy day today 

Super Early bedtime of 5.30?

[becj86]

Yeah, worth a go. FX for you.

Hugs xx

Thanks Bec!
Asleep at 5.20 after PD at 5.15 and she woke somewhere between 6.20 and 6.50, I fell back to sleep!
Should i nudge out the first nap from 10am or leave it as it is incase this is some crazy phase/sick etc?

[becj86]

Maybe try nudging it - no better time than after a 13hr night

[labrodyk]

PD at 10.30, stirred at 11.00 but resettled then awake again from 11.14, settled and woke at 11.40 so maybe 1hr10 if I'm lucky? She keeps trying to get back to sleep (sucking thumb, closing eyes, rolling) but she can't. Perhaps I pushed her too far but she didn't go down crying like usual! Bloody hell, can't catch a break can I?

[becj86]

How was the rest of the day?

[labrodyk]

I wasn't sure what to do so I did a nap at 2.30pm so bit uncertain as to the A. She cried going down briefly but fell asleep by about 2.35 - 4.05. Aimed for BT at 7.00 but she went back to drinking the majority of her bottle and then started crying again and was keen to get down and read books/play etc but was crying and rubbing her eyes when I put her down just before 7.00pm...

I'm REALLY confused. And it's kindy the next few days so we'll be back to super early, short naps in the car around 9/9.30 which will stuff everything up again. booooo

[becj86]

She's a right puzzle! Hopefully kindy days aren't too bad for you this week.
