DD is 21 months. She's generally a happy toddler, but sleep wise we always seem to have issues. From 18-19 months we were dealing with early morning waking (5am) plus some night wakings. Then from 19-20 months everything seemed to fall in place. Sleeping a solid 11-12 hours at night with one two hour nap midday. Now for the last month we are back to early wakings (4-5:30am), with some night wakings (mostly after midnight). She goes to a sitter Monday-Friday so it's hard to know exactly how the sitter is dealing with naps. But first we tried pushing her nap a half hour earlier due to her waking so early (11:30-1:30). But the early wakings continued, so we tried capping the naps to 1.5 hours. This helped make her go down easily at bedtime, but early wakings and night wakings (not every night) have continued. Last night she wOke twice after midnight and was still up at 5:30 for the day. She napped 1.5 hours (up at 1:20 sitter said). went to bed at 7pm, and has already had a night waking at (8:30pm). So I'm at a loss! I can't seem to figure out if she's OT or UT?? Our general day looks like:
Wake (4-5-30am)
Nap (11:30/12-1:30)
Bedtime 7pm.
On the weekends she naps usually just 1.5 hours (wakes on her own). Occasionally she'll do 2 hours, but not often. Even with little sleep she's generally pleasant and in a good mood. Please help!
