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.
