nap questions
« on: October 10, 2007, 20:04:40 pm »
my ds will be 1 on the 24th andi am finding that his naps are getting later and later.  He normally naps in the am around 9:30-10 am for 1-1.5 hrs and then his nap in the pm was always around 1:30-2pm for 1-1.5 hrs but now i find he is talking in his room forever now before he falls asleep.  it's been 45 min already.  So if he doesn't fall asleep till 3pm or later then it messes up bedtime.  I want bedtime to be between 7:30-8pm no later then 8:30 but the other night he was up till 930 as he needs at least 3 hrs min to wind down and get tired out again for bed.   
 do you think he is almost ready to do 1 nap a day?  push his am one later and scrap the pm one?  what do you think?
oh btw what do you think is the cause of him waking at 5:50 am the last few days?  he normally wakes at 6:30-7

I think the early wakings are being caused by too much daytime sleep so you will need to cut down his am nap.
Exactly same thing hapened with my DD.
I'd cut down his am nap to 30 mins-1hr (suspect you will have to do 30 mins) and keep the PM nap the same length.
