That probably does mean OT - how many nnds has she had in a row?  In fairness, though, despite the 4.30 that was actually a pretty good night's sleep - I suspect that you are just in the really difficult phase where you have to juggle it constantly.  I would say she probably needs a really good catch up nap - do you wake her from her naps or does she wake by herself?

yeah i was so glad that she went back to sleep. She has had a 45 min late nap on monday then no nap Tue, Wed and it will be no nap today either. It will be softplay in the morning and nursery in the afternoon.

It really is hard working them out isnt it?

After today im off until monday so she can nap fri, sat, sun if needed.

Picked her up from the childminders and she was crying asking if she can go for a sleep when she gets home. So that's her sleeping now , never seen her like this.

Not sure how that leaves us tomorrow with naps x

Fingers crossed she has a really long night to catch up and you can start again tomorrow.

She woke at 4:30 so I gave her a wee drink and a cuddle then she went back to sleep till 5:40 so 12 hours 10 min sleep.  Good. So don't our think I should let her nap as long as she likes today then bt 7:30 then go back to 1hr capped with a 7pm bt sat and sun?

I certainly think that's worth a try.

Oh dear I chickened out.  Got to 3:30 and 2 hrs and I woke her. I know I shouldn't bur I was panicking about bed time x

Would you continue with the plan or go for longer nap again tomorrow?

I would wait and see how the night/WU goes and make a decision tomorrow.

Oh dear, it's hard to break out of these routine upsets isn't it? Really hope she does a good night now, I'd be tempted to let her sleep an extra half an hour in the morning but keep nap time the same. As for how long to let her nap, i think if she sleeps in I'd be inclined to wake her at the hour and go for 7pm BT??? Or even earlier if you feel she still has a big sleep debt. But if she does a short night again then yes I'd let her nap longer I think... :-*

5am wu. I really don't get this at all. I'm worried if I do a long nap she'll not go to bed again x

The problem with the long catch up nap is that it does really only work if they wake by themselves - if you are them it really backfires. I suspect that what you need is a few days with a 1h nap and normal bedtime, and then (if you are feeling brave!) you can try the long nap again next week when she is tired from her nnds at nursery.

Well its not been so bad after the late night and 5am WU.

WU 5am Nap 1hr 45mins BT 19:30
WU 6am Nap 1hr (woke herself) BT 19:30
WU 6:20 today was a NND BT 18:10 (earlier than usual) she was falling asleep and asked to go to bed and didn't want a story just sleep, so we will see what the morning brings?
