Typical 18 month routine?..
« on: March 25, 2012, 13:31:57 pm »
Hi i am new to this board and just wanted some advise?.

My little boy is just over 18 months and his day is like this

Awake - 530 to 630 am (at the moment normally 530/6)
Sleeps 1245 ish to 215ish (wakes himself)
Bedtime 645ish

Could he be just an 11 hour sleeper?. How can i get him to sleep longer in the mornings?. Put him to bed later?.

Look forward to hearing from you..Sarah xx

Hi Sarah

I have a 19 mo and we seem to be coming out of the exact same problem. Although I'm not relaxing about it yet!

I think your am A time might be a little bit too long and your pm A time a little bit too short. From my experience you need about a 5 hour A time before bed.

I'd try a nap 12.30-2 and then BT at 7 and see if it encourages a slightly later WU. What time would you ideally like him to wake in the morning?

What do you think?

Second what Foxy said. 

We are trying combat our 6am EW by doing something like

Up:   7am (hopefully)
Nap: 1-2.30pm (capped at 1.5hrs)
BT:  7.30pm.

I'm not entirely sure the 5hr A time to BT is right yet, or whether he will sleep consistently longer than 11.5hrs at night, but I am hoping!

Oh and glad your situation is improving Foxy! xx

Thanks Claire! We had an absolutely horrendous night on Friday but she ended up waking at 7am on Saturday so we've taken full advantage of that! The clocks changing have helped aswell but I'm not relaxing yet, we'll see how the next few days go!

Sorry to highjack your post Sarah!
