Thanks!!
I have been consistently getting the same message. So I really would like to keep the CN if I can. Even a 10 min nap as you said, seems to do the trick.
I do find that outdoor or water play does tire her out, so I can try upping that a bit. As for running around... My LO is just shy of 11 months and today was the first day she took 4 steps w/o falling. But I give her ample practice time.
Even before this most recent CN refusal, she took her APOP CN after 5 (starting ~5:05). I am weary of trying for even later b/c a later BT ends up working against us.
This part is my fault. LO wakes up at 6:00, if she doesn't wake on her own I wake her. I will be back to work in a month and 6am wake allows me to nurse and do breakfast before dropping off at daycare and going to work. If I chose to wean the AM feed I could be more flexible, but I don't think I am ready for that.
So even if I get an EW due to OT I still tend to get 10.5-11h of night sleep... But with a later BT and 6am wake I would get less.
I have been trying to watch her cues and make note of her night sleep, but she cut 2 teeth in the last 3 weeks which usually cause some night wakes.
Arg!! Everything happening at once. So hard to make good observations.
Today was the first time she was cranky after skipping the CN. I put her down for 640. I will see how her night goes. Early BT might be the only effective tool I have
