I would stick with the same naptime. There is some sleep research that discusses biological sleep times - times of the day when we are best able to sleep. I think it all ties in with circadian rhythms, etc. So I would go with the same bedtime. Stick with it for a while. Once it's established you can adjust a bit to cope with EW or OT. Am definitely not an expert as none of my boys have been great nappers, but I agree with the others in saying to just stick with set times for a while. You may want to check out Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, Dr. Weissbluth. I don't agree with his sleep training advice, but the biology is explained a bit better there.

Emma you say your naps are at 12 but what time is Brodie up for the day??

Anywhere between 6.30 and 7.30am. Very variable tbh. His beditme tends to be 7 or 7.30 at the latest so we get pretty good nights. DS has always been prone to EW though but this really isn't routine related....it tends to be more to do with whats going on in his life iykwim.

 I'd keep naptime at 12 for the moment. Run with it for at least a week and see what transpires.

ok, have made naptime 12 today, he kinda refused it for about 10mins and I had to do wi/wo and Im wondering if its too early? but I will stick with it for now. Yesterday he only slept 50mins so im thinking its UT. he was asleep by about 6.45pm last night due to having such a short nap he was pretty tired by the end of the day. he slept 12 hours with one NW

Becky - will check out that book just for that info, thanks!
