20-24 month old routines? What does yours look like?

[Joy-filled]

Just curious what others are doing as I'm trying sort my DS out.  I know every toddler is different but I'm just wondering roughly what others are doing.  Thanks in advance for sharing!

DS is 20 month... for the past 7 weeks, he has been having EWings, so our routine looks like this:

5:30-5:45 WU
1:00-3:00 (sometimes less, sometimes more) nap
6:30-7pm BT (depends on WU time and length of nap)

[lily_layne]

R is 21 months. Her sleep needs seem to have dropped lately and her nights are getting shorter  (or PT is causing sleep changes). We are doing:
WU: 6/6:30 but sometimes earlier - she plays quietly until 7 when I get her
S: 12/12:15-2/2:30
BT: 7/7:15 and asleep between 7:30 and 8 (sometimes later lately)

DS is 24 months and it's messy lol
WU varies 5.30-6 (had some 5am)
Nap 12.45/1pm capped 1.5
BT 7 (often not asleep till silly o'clock 8pm)
Silly long days here but 2nd yr molars on way x

R is 23 months today  and we're currently doing
WU 6.30/7
S 12.30-2.30 (capped)
BT 7 asleep within 10-20 mins
On nursery days he only naps 12.30-2 so I bring BT forward 15 mins but doesn't always work
This routine is after a horrendous period from 18-22 months when nothing I did made a difference, he short napped, NWings and EMW it was the pits he was only getting 11.5hrs sleep
in 24 hours, but we did get 3 canines and 4 molars during that time, can't wait for the 2 year molars

My DD is constantly having EW too.

500-6am wakeup
12/1230 nap - 2/230
bedtime 630/7

It seems like she has been fighting with teeth for 2 months though.

At 24 months Ivy was roughly:

Up at 8-8:30:
S 1:30-2:30/45ish
BT: 8ish.

Our little man is nearly 21 months and this is what he does
wu 7
Nap 1.15-2.45
Bt 7.30

DS is nearly 21 months and is doing:

WU 5.45-6
Nap 12.30 - 2.15
Bed 6.45, asleep 7

Had some EWs, late naps and long time to settle some nights - think its developmental as he is suddenly saying loads and has become more independent in play etc

[jcsmom]

Kate-jack's mom your routine is exactly like ours at the moment. I am pushing nap out toward 1 in hopes wu follows.

[K-JDA]

Yes I just posted about the EWs and the advice was to try a 1pm nap so that is what we are doing too - had a later wake-up 6-6.15 the last 2 days (although will have jinxed it now!!!)

DS is 21 months today and we're finally conquering EWings. Our routine looks like this:

6:15 WU
1:00-3:00 nap
7:00 BT

[Eva's Mummy]

Hi honey,

Eva's is 22 months and our day looks like this:

WU 6:30/7
Nap 12/12:30 - 14:30
BT  7:00

We just got over a spot of EW's and have popped right back to normal. Think its 2yr molars.

What is Aarons day like just now?

[Joy-filled]

Wow....that is quite the range.  Everything from 5 hrs until nap to more than 6.5!  I guess that confirms that each LO is different.  I've been doing set PD for nap at 12:45 and set PD for BT at 7:15 but Aaron's day is quite variable.  He takes a minimum of 45 min to fall asleep at BT regardless of WU or nap length and sometimes he takes 1.5 hrs.  And once again, sometimes he'll take 1.5 hrs to fall asleep at BT if he's had a 50 min nap or if he's had a 2 hr nap so it's not clear to me if he's UT or OT or if that's just what he needs to do.  Our "average" day:

WU around 6:30 but anywhere between 6:15 and 7:15(if he took ages to fall asleep the night before)
Nap 12:45-2/2:45 (cap at 2 hrs if needed which is usually 90% of the time)
PD for BT at 7:15, asleep between 8:00 and 8:30

He seems to like a 10-10.75 hr night no matter what his nap was.  I can't complain as we're not getting NWs or EWs (other than a recent long road trip where he wouldn't nap longer than 25-50 min in the car so was surely OT those nights) and he only wakes crying 30 min after his nap ~10% of the time now so we've certainly come a long way.  However, I remain confused as to why he takes ages to fall asleep at night but he's happy in his crib so I'm just sticking with it.

Thanks for the input all!

The last 3-4 days my 23mo likes -
WU - 8.15
No nap
BT - 8

Thats after months of nap refusal on and off, short nights and lots of bt shenanigans, I still offer nap every day, just in case.
