Hi,
Not sure if this belongs here, so please feel free to move it:)
DS is generally a good sleeper. It seems like he's follow a bit of a pattern. He tends to gradually sleeps later in the morning, and therefore gradually needs to go to bed later. Before we know it he's going to sleep at 9:00 pm (or later
)and waking up at 8:30 or later. Then, one night he will only sleep just under 10 hours, but it's about 7:00 am so it seems pointless to try and fight the early wake because if he does fall back asleep it will be mean sleeping past 9:00 and ideally he would be up around 7:30. It seems like these short nights often coincide with lo appearing to suddenly be older. He just seems older and I always think, "wow, you grew up over night again." Has anyone else noticed something like this? I'm torn between thinking that a developmental leap is to blame for the short night, and thinking that I'm looking for an explanation/connection that isn't there. I'm curious to see what your experience has been. He had a 9hr 45 min night last night (in part due to teething 2 year molars I think) but his speech is so much more today.
