Ah don't say that! Lol! We get such a good morning nap I'd be terrified to change it!  I am wondering though if that EW was OT, the last few days she's been doing a 2hr morning nap (and I cap it!) after about a 3.15hr A and then a 45min nap in the afternoon, and 3hr A to bed.  Yesterday we had a 6:10am WU and today 6:25am.  It's so odd, her A times have gone completely backwards.

How do you ladies arrange your short AM/long PM? I tried it today and it didn't go so well.  We did:

9-9:45 capped
12:45-1:15 OT nap I'm assuming, she was wrecked and I couldn't resettle her
3:45-4:30 capped

We ended up needing 3 naps because what was supposed to be her long fternoon nap turned into an OT nap, and I felt so horrid waking her at 4:30, but it was already way too late in the day.  Even if she did a long afternoon nap from 12:45-2:45 say, that's an awfully long time until BT.

we only do short am on the days I drop dd1 off so looks like this usually

Wu 5.45
Nap 9-10 in the car (sometimes sleeps for 1.15 if I'm driving long enough)
1.30-3
BT 6.30

Maybe capping at 45 mins was a little too short. What about trying an hour and then 1.5 in the afternoon?

We had to trial and error on the short am long pm. I found that with a short am nap i needed to reduce the A time to the PM nap, by about 30/45 mins. That we we then got a good PM nap.

I kind of just didn't try it again lol.  She does such a glorious morning nap I just don't feel like messing with it.  Actually on Monday she only did 30mins in the morning and I couldn't resettle so she did a longer PM nap (1.5hrs I think) and that worked out ok.  Lately her WUs have been about 6/6:15 and I can live with that.

Back to 5:45...this morning 5:30.  Gah! This has been going on for months, it is driving me batty.

Yesterday was:

WU 5:45
Nap 9:15-10:45
Nap 1:55-3pm
BT 6:45

Her second A was kinda short but she was honestly miserable, I gave meds in case it was teeth but it didn't do much.  Her A to bed was kinda long, wasn't really international, I had to run out and buy a last minute birthday gift so dinner was late etc etc...

Just an update, she woke at 5:30am and since she wasn't crying (she was just babbling and rolling around) I just left her to it and she fell asleep at 6am and woke at 7:20.  When I went in to get her she's pooped so I think that's what woke her at 5:30.  (I can't believe she fell back asleep with a poop!  Gross lol)
