I wouldn't have done was Olly was hard to get to go to sleep UT - I would always err on the side of OT - but that was just us!

Haha agreed! Hudson is the same way. UT is a nightmare; last night being an example  :o

He finally conked out at 12:15. He was like an energizer bunny on steroids lol

Thankfully he has yet to skip a nap all together!

I am wondering if on the days he resists (like today with the nanny but she put him down too late), if his A time is around 7 hours after he FINALLY naps, what time is bedtime? Should I stick to bedtime at 8 even though he woke up at 6 today  ::)

His new attempted routine:

WU 7 am
S 1-3 p.m (as of this week)
BT 8 p.m.

I guess it depends on how long he naps. If it is a good catch up nap then stick with normal bedtime. If it is short then bring it forward 30 mins? x

I can try that since today he woke close to 5:30! 😩
I think it's molars again mixed with some OT.

Have molars caused EMW? I'm sticking to nap bc he doesn't really do longer than 12 hour nights. So instead of 1 maybe 12:30 since today is zoo day.

So update: he fell asleep at 10:15 am in the car lol I didn't see that coming since it was a short ride to the zoo. Do I wake him and try for a second nap or just let him sleep? He usually doesn't do this. When is bedtime then? UGggghhhhhh

I would have woken him and got on with the day and hoped he had another nap on the way back!

Haha that's exactly what happened. He napped for a half hour in the morning then an hour he was knocked out in the car ride home. So at this point I'm going to attempt BT at 8:30 since he slept until 4:30 and I doubt he would be tired enough before then. Needless to say I'm winging it since the day is a wash.

Does 2yr molars cause crazy OT and EMW sprinkled with nap resistance?

His sleep is so crazy right now. :o

His sleep is horrendous! He's definitely OT so will have to try to get out of this loop

So my nanny just informed me that my son is refusing to nap again...He's been up since before 7 and its now 3 p.m...what's a good bedtime? I told her to at least get a 30 minute nap in...

He had a 12 hour night with a bunch of NW. Molars are definitely wreaking havoc and maybe the sleep regression. Should i consider cutting his sleep in some way or should I just leave it all alone until the molars come in?

I have been attempting the following but to be honest A times are everywhere!

WU 7 am
S 1-3 pm
BT 8ish

Yesterday went lilke this:

WU 7:00
S 12:30-1:30 pm (car nap coming home)
BT 7:15 pm

I'd keep trying to get a normal nap in but try a CN if all else fails, I wouldn't cut the nap at this time.

I'd go for a EBT if no nap try and catch up on Ot x

Thank you for the tip! I'll keep aiming for the same routine.

He ended up sleeping for an hour from 3-4 pm. DH is now with him winding down. I hope it's not too little A since he had such a long awake time before his nap smh
