Thanks for your replies and comments - I kept her awake 3.5 hours this morning before putting her down for a nap, she went down very easily, but still woke up after 45mins...whats the best way to get her to extend the nap? I picked up (as she was standing by the time I got to her!) and held her until she fell asleep then put her down and she slept another 45minutes. Would you recommend that I try to extend the morning or afternoon nap as she starts nursery in 2 months when i go back to work and they only do one nap after lunch.
She is drinking around 17ounces of milk a day, will definitely try after she wakes up rather than before. I do agree, she is sleeping a long night time, the issue is that once she gets to our bed (usually early morning) she sleep sooo well and can sleep until 9 if we let her! I am trying to get her up at 7, again in preparation for nursery.
For the last 2 nights she has gone down easily and slept solidly until around 2am. This is definite progress, we now need to work on the fact that she is very restless from 2amish!
