Up until about a month ago, DD was settled into a nice daytime routine. She was quite poorly and since then we have not been able to get into any routine at all. She has a bf at 6.30-7am (this is pretty consistent) but after that - who knows. Some mornings she wakes at 7.30am, others 9.30am. This then impacts on her morning nap which is about 2 hours after she wakes. Her morning nap is currently for about 2-2.5hours (but sometimes only an hour).
She really fights her afternoon nap, so I thought she was having enough sleep and tried to skip the afternoon nap. Big mistake as she was a nightmare by teatime - would't eat, rubbing face, crying, making a fuss, then completely wiped out at bedtime, fell asleep in my arms on the way to the cot.
I tried persisting with the afternoon nap but she then won't settle at bedtime (took 2 hours to settle her and she only slept for 30 mins this afternoon).
Has anyone got any ideas of things I can try?. What did your DCs do at this age?. Thanks
