Hello,

She's getting so much day sleep and not enough A time in the day that she's seeking it out at night. She may have her day/nights switched really.

Average A times are 2hrs15-2hrs45 at this age I think so I would wake your LO up at the time you want to be morning and keep her up so she naps 2 hrs later. No longer than 2 hrs. - you often have 3 naps (2 longer 1 catnap) at this age, then BT 12-13 hrs after WU.

She will sleep much more soundly at night this way

What do you think? Happy to help you sort out a good pattern for her if you like Hun x
