I agree with the Gro-clock suggestion, we have one for DD & it has really helped with understanding WU time etc.

I've not personally used W2S with either of my 2 LO's as toddlers but I know some Mum's have used it successfully but they do it earlier on in the night, so around midnight or so, when their LO is still in a deeper sleep. The risk to doing it later in the early hours is that they are in a lighter sleep & therefore are more likely to be fully woken & then won't go back to sleep.

Just a quick update. He slept till 05:35 this morning but wanted a sleep at 10:15 and slept till 11:30 so he def needed it. What would you advise for the rest of the day? X

so sorry for the late reply, things have been really busy. Things are a little better with kian sleeping from 7/7:30pm till anytime between 5:30 and 6:30am. His wu times are really inconsistant. The only way i can see this being is that his nap times in nursery are 1.5hrs approx at 12:30, but at home he strugglers to get till 11am and on times will only sleep 45mins all day. Any ideas on what i can do? I have managed to stretch him till 12:30 on times but he still takes a short nap. thanks
