We just moved from LA to Sydney last week and LO's sleep is way wonkier than I expected. Our flight left at 10.30pm on Wednesday and I expected her to fall asleep in the car on the way to the airport and then sleep in the Beco while we waited to board. She did not. She was awake until midnight and then got maybe 8 hours sleep during the 14.5 hr plane ride.
We landed at 6am, Sydney time, and I put her down at 9am for her first nap, and then preserved her normal schedule until bedtime. She was so exhausted she did fine. Then she woke up at 2.30 am, was up until 4.30 am and then up for the day at 5.45aam. She took one 2 hr nap in the morning and then refused all naps except a fifteen minute beco nap.
Yesterday, she did the same thing over night and had two thirty minute naps all day long, Went to bed at 6.30pm, woke up at 3am and is now up for the day at 4.45am.
Also, she has molars coming through. And we're staying with my IL's until we get settled and my MIL believes children should be able to sleep in the middle of the living room with the tv on and thus we are coddling LO by using a white noise machine and blackout curtains.
HALP!
