Title: How much awake time at 15 months old?
Post by: Carmela's Mom on July 30, 2005, 16:33:59 pm

My DD was doing great on one nap a day...her day was this...

6-6:30 wake up
7:00 milk
8:00 breakfast
11:30 lunch
12 - 2 nap
2:30 snack
5:30 dinner
7:00 bedtime

Perfect. Well now all of a sudden she's not falling asleep at naptime or bedtime. She doesn't cry, but just plays and talks for 1/2 hour and then starts whining. I normally go in around 12:30 p.m. and pat/shush her to sleep...the same for bedtime. I've been going in at 7:30 and pat/shushing her to sleep. Should I try putting her to bed 1/2 hour later each time? How much awake time is normal at this age?

Thanks
Jackie

Is this a recent occurrence? Looks like she has found ways to keep herself awake longer.

I wouldn't change her schedule.. it's appropriate for her age. Take a look at her sleep environment, is it overstimulating? Dark enough? Something catching her eye?
