Mixed sleep question for 8 month old

[mummaof2]

Dd2 is 8 months and she has been a fabulous sleeper, slept through the night 12 hours from about 4 months etc. 2 weeks ago she got a virus and had temps for about 4 days.. Since then she has been waking multiple times a night. The virus has now passed but she is still not sleeping right and to top it off I think she is dropping a sleep also. She used to have 3 sleeps but I think she is dropping 1. Today I kept her up till bed time and put her to bed at 7. She has woken almost every half hour an cries but still has her eyes closed and if I pick her up she resettles and I put her back in bed. Last night I lost count of how many times I got up to either put her dummy back or rewrap her.
To top it off it seems she wants her afternoon sleep from about 1:30pm but I need to pickup my DD1 from school at 3pm so I'm needing to wake her up.
What does everyone else do in terms of timing for 2nd or 3rd children to sleep if you need to collect siblings from school. If I try I make her afternoon nap earlier it will mean I have to keep her up longer till bed but if I try to make it after we pickup her sister from school it will mean keeping her up longer after lunch and potentially meaning she won't go to bed at night till much later.
Not sure what to do..
Also wondering if she is teething. DD1 was 6 months when she got first 2 teeth, DD2 has none yet.

I hear you on the naps and school pick ups! Bub has 3-4 and while I try to time them so he works around them, sometimes I have to wake him, or he falls asleep in the pram (he's still in a capsule, so it's easier to transfer him than for you). How long is that early afternoon nap usually? Could you try just making it 10-20 mins earlier? And making bedtime 10-20 mins earlier while she's still adjusting?

Def could be teething also - any other signs?

Either way, hang in there! Hugs x

Couple of days old, but I have found that if dd has a few rough nights she will keep waking for about a week. It's like she gets into a pattern. But then once she sleeps through again it all goes back to normal. Same with waking up too early. If she wakes at 6 instead of 7 she is likely to do this for several mornings. I just resettle her over and over and eventually she goes back to waking at 7.
I don't have any other kids. but I can imagine the frustration with having to wake her for school pick ups. I like to make sure dd has at least one good solid sleep. Dd also dropped her arvo nap around 7 months, totally normal. If she hasn't slept well in the afternoon I will put her in her swing or pram and let her have a little nap around 4pm. But I will wake her after 40 min if she sleeps over.
