Hey Creations! How are you? I'm so sorry about the horrible situation in Westminster, such sad news.
I know this is an old thread and I'm happy to start a new post but we were going quite well but the last few days have been horrible.
A is 17.5mo and whilst all the eye teeth have cut they aren't fully up/down. We pushed the nap to 1pm and it caused a week or more of 2-2.5hr naps. BT moved to 7.30 and she was. Asleep 30-40 minutes later and she was sleeping until 8/8.30am. However, last few days she's slept 30-40 minutes at nap time and her morning wake up is 7am or slightly earlier. Today she was screaming in exhaustion so went down for a nap at 12.15 but by the time she fell asleep she wokencryinf 30 minutes later. The day prior she only slept 1-1.45/2.00 at most. She's cranky, defiant, boundary testing but also has massive black circles under her eyes.
After 30 minutes sleep tonight I did bedtime at 6.30pm and she cried until 7.10! She also still won't let DH near her, he has to pry her off me to give her a bath and she screams the whole time. It's absolutely horrible. She then wakes around 10 or 11 crying.
I also wondered whether when she is napping or sleeping in the morning that she's not really asleep at all and is just dozing. Of course I have no way of knowing this, she looks asleep on the monitor. But if I try and hold her and she knows she should be sleeping (I tried to resettle the nap today, she would be wide awake but when I looked at her she'd close her eyes and pretend to be sleeping!!!)
I'm wondering if this is routine issues and I need to somehow push through to normal nap time, push later or adjust to 5hrs A if wake up is closer to 7? OR this is 18mo SR, teething or something else! I'm SO confused.
