Day 5: WU at 8:15, self-settled for first nap, second nap fell asleep in car but self-settled on transfer to crib, hand on hip for third nap to prevent rolling. BT was meh though - thought we were getting it at 7:25, but it turned out to be a short catnap. Real BT was 9:45, required both hands on her, talking soothingly.
Night 5: Woke at 1a and 2a but I was able to settle her with a hand on her. Fed at 3a and 6:30am.
Day 6: WU at 8:00, self-settled for all three naps! But BT

Got her to sleep at 8:35pm -- was hoping that by getting closer to her other BTs, it would stick... nope. She slept for an hour, was up 9:30-11, happy at first and then increasingly sad and then screaming. Fed her at 11 and then she went down for the night.
Night 6: Woke for feed at 3:30am, woke at 6a but I was able to get her to go back to sleep without feeding. She woke again at 7a, so I decided to make that WU & E. Am hoping the earlier WU will help us pull BT together tonight.
I just don't understand why she won't STAY asleep at BT. Everything talks about doing earlier bedtimes, etc, but she starts her day between 7 and 8am and she wakes from her third nap between 5pm and 5:30pm, so we can't exactly do a 6pm or 6:30pm BT -- she isn't tired enough until at least 7 or 7:30pm. She won't sleep when she's not tired! That's the mistake I was making when I first started this thread... She often goes down pretty easily at 7:30ish (self-settles or settles with only a little help), but she won't STAY asleep. Yesterday, when she slept for an hour before waking, I was so hoping... but no. And the second settling at ~10pm is always a lot harder; it's usually been a couple hours since her last feed, and sometimes she just won't do it until she's fed again. :\ The one time she's stayed asleep this week was Monday, when she woke from her third nap at 5pm and didn't go to sleep until nearly 10pm. But she stayed asleep that time. I was gone for a couple hours in the evening and she had Daddy to herself, could that have affected things?
