That's bizarre. How was she during the day?
totally frustrating too!
She was her usual self when out and about - smiling at everyone, looking around with her massive eyes. Although gets fussy in pram, shopping trolley and high chair and wants to be held. Same with in and out of car seat - has a good scream before either sitting there and chatting well past her normal A or continuing to cry until she falls asleep.
With H back at preschool today we were back into the nightmare that is drop off/ pick up. Our today played out like this;
WU: 6.00 ish. Lay quietly but got upset and whinged until closer to 7.
OOB: 7.00am.
Nap 1: absolutely beside herself, crying in the car from 8.50. She was falling asleep as we arrived at kindy but then she was all smiles, crawling around playing with all the kids. Hopped back in the car and she cried but chatted and she fell asleep but only for 3 minutes at 9.45!!
Nap 2: 10.10; 10.15-11.25 (in cot)
Nap 3: 2.28; 2.34-3.30
BT: 6.25; crying off and on and won't settle. Finally asleep at 6.50.
This is really hard, should I try a different routine or longer/shorter A's? Hard with kindy drop off/pick up but at least the rest of the days might be better.
We've been doing a BT routine of;
Dinner, a bath/shower, bottle in the lounge room and then she insists on crawling and cruising around. After around 10-20 minutes we go and brush teeth, into sleeping bag, a cuddle and some lullabys and into bed. She either;
A) cries and continues to cry and need settling
B) is quiet but then can't settle and starts crying (not just mantra)
C) mantra cries briefly then falls asleep
D) quietly self settles.
Naps and bedtime she will always cry as soon as we enter her room but once she gets given her comforter whilst putting on sleeping bag and she'll start to suck her thumb but totally hit and miss on how long or if she settles!
