DD was sick for a week and up for hours at night crying and now that she is on the mend I don’t teally know what I’m working with.
Just before she got sick we had one night where she woke at 10pm and we couldn’t get her back to sleep till 11.30 - she was all bright eyed and chatty. I figured it was time for an increase in A time - we had been on 1.40 A and the next day I bumped it up to 2hA and got:
A 2h s 30min, A 1.2h s 1.45min, A 2h s 30min - you get the picture
That night was awful, she woke at 4am and I couldn’t get her back down till 6 and then she slept on me till 8am. Next day a fever hit, her A time and S were whatever, nights she was up multiple times, slept only on me.
As of yesterday she’s been better but her A time yesterday was 1h - not surprised after the awful nights. Bed time took 2h but thankfully the night was good.
My easy today:
WU 8am, A 1.40min S 40min
A 1.30 - yelled till it ended up being 1.50, s 35min
A 1h, s 2h
A 1,35min, S 50min - sister woke her, will aim for BT of 7.30 because she woke from the cn at 6
So What do you make of that?
I don’t think she can do 2h A time and that was one of the things that contributed to the bad nights.
I was thinking to do A1 2h, then the rest 1.45min? Also, how much would you shorten the A time by if the nap is short? And one final question, if she woke at 8am but short naps bring us to an overly long final A time, would you do a an early BT or just push through the OT and keep BT the same?
After a week of 3-4 hours of sleep a night I’m overly anxious about getting the easy wrong and landing up with nw again.
