DD is resisting sleep at the moment, naps and bedtime.

She's never been one to give me much in the way of tired signs. She'd give me 2-3 minutes max and then bang! she'd be tired as. But she's getting better and I am better at reading her.

Lately though, the past week or so, she has been showing me tired signs, I take her through to the bedroom, get her set for bed, feed her and then she's alert again after a feed. It's like the feed has recharged her somewhat.

She used to only be able to go 2 hours between waking and then having a sleep again but at the moment she can go anywhere up to 5 hours. Now, i don't mind this but at the end of the day she can be really exhausted but STILL won't settle to sleep until around 8-9pm and she's totally wired.

I can't even do a bedtime routine with her at the moment because she's quite tired, and it's just not enjoyable for her.

Any suggestions? Is she telling me that she just doesn't need that much sleep now? Or am I missing something?

I am also wondering if this is a wonder week (she's 34 weeks old). She's done some pretty major developing over the past few weeks, sitting up alone, two teeth, clapping her hands, saying daddy and ta, rolling around almost crawling etc.

I have seen her do this before a couple of times and she usually goes back to getting over pretty easily. But I just wonder if I need to cut out a nap and just make sure she has 2 naps a day and not 3?

Gah, I dunno!
Thanks for reading.
