16 mth old early wake but 3 hr nap
« on: April 19, 2012, 16:51:35 pm »
My 16 mth old DS has settled into 1 nap per day but still can't stay awake past 10AM. He has been waking at 5:30/6 from a 10 hr/night which is too early for my liking but typically naps for close to 3 hrs from 10-1. Does this sound normal? Is there a way to get him to sleep longer at night?

What time does he go to bed?
I would think the EW is because the nap is very early in the am and 3 hours is a lot.
Does he STTN? If so I would push the nap slowly back to about 11am - maybe 15 mins every 3 or 4 days and cap it at 2.5 hours max.

Thanks! He goes to sleep around 7:30 and just started sleeping through the night about a month ago.
