I hope he is t coming down with anything, as  i have a cold myself, he was up at 5.50 this morning, rubbinh his eyes and yawning but just couldnt go back to sleep.  He is at the childminders today and tomorrow so i wont know what sleep he had until the end of the day :(
If he has t slept at all i might just get him to sleep at 6 and be done with it

It may be that he is coming down with a cold also then. I would just watch him and go with the flow from his cues Honey, sometimes it's all you can do in the short term. I agree a really early night would be a good idea if he hasn't napped today, I guess chances are if he is getting a cold he will have though :/.

Good lucks and ((HUGS))

He seems fine, no cold just me suffering. He had 25 min nap from 3-3.25 uesterday only settled at 7.15 and slept until 6.05. So he sttn again, but 6 is just so early for us and i dont want to just shoft the day and move his Bt because we just wouldnt have any time in the evening.
So as im at home tomorrow i will need to resurrect our routine.

It's often hard when LO doesn't get the 'WU time email!' ugh. Happens to us all, but finger's crossed that getting back into the routine does the trick.

Good Luck.x.

Oh he certainly didnt het the message, but very quoetly stayed in bed with us until 7! And he had no sleep today at all and he didnt fall asleep in the car and settled straight away at 7pm, how can a 16 month okd not sleep during the day and be ok? I mean the childminder says that he is the best behaved little boy, who has had a brilliant day today, playing nicely and doing baking for red nose day. Ahhhhh!

Hope he had a good night x.

He woke at 4am and then slept till 7am.  I rhink he is catching up today as he was out at 11.40, once again asleep in his highchair! Tjeres a pattern after 2 days of no sleep he just need to catch up. When he is at home we never have no sleep days, he only does that at the childminders.  ???

It doesn't seem to be effecting the nights so much though so perhaps he can cope with the changing routine of no nap at the CMs and an earlier nap at home to catch up.

Its just not working here, we are having early wakings whatever we do it seems, this is the last 2 days seems silly really, he generally wakes once between 2-5, and on the nights he sttn he will also be up around 6.

6.10wu
12.15nap-2.15
7.32BT 


6.40wu
12.22nap-2/2.30
8BT

6.00wu

Cut the daytime sleep?

Hi.
Your current routine doesn't look much different from when you started the thread so I think you do need to change something and stick there for several days to see how it pans out.
Either
1. cap nap. 1.5 hr. so 12.30-2.00 with 7.30 BT
or
2. move nap and BT later. Earlier I suggested 12.30 with a 8pm BT but I think now I'd be tempted to move later than that. 12.45 for a few days then prob shift again to 1pm.

Maybe read through the thread again to refresh your memory on the suggestions? Each of us has said a slightly different thing but the overall guidance is basically the same.

H Creations

We have shifted BT to later and in letting him have the 2 hour nap as well, he was catchibg up after not sleeping for a coupke of days at the Cm and fallin asleep very early for nap, actually duribg lunch in his highchair, so there wasnt that much i could do. He seems more retes after the 2 hour nap during the day, but once he has caught up with sleep he goes back to wakibg early. So i dont think it works for us.
So my next step would be to cut his nap and bribg BT slightly earlier, not 8pm. Although he slept last night 8-4.30 and up this morn at 6 ((

Nothing good to report really

No sleep at the childminders so very early nap yesterday and slept for 3 hours nearly and still settled at 7.45 ok. Woke at 1.40 at night and then slept till 6.40.

Just settled for a nap now, spent a good 15 mins just playing around in his cot, babbling away, so im at loss really, he has been awake for 6 hours is this even normal. I understand why CM struggles to get him to bed if he is like this with her she doesn't have 20 mins to get him to sleep, she has other kids.  On wednesday after CM he fell asleep i the car and i couldnt wake him up when dh and Os come home. I was getting a bit worried as it was only 4.30pm and he has t had dinner.
So i dont really know what to do with him today, clearly he has caught up on sleep now. Is this how long he needs at nearly 17 months

Honestly I don't remember off hand what DS's routine or A time were at that age, I do remember him eventually being on a 2pm nap though - probably a bit older than your DS - I do remember his morning A always had to be increased or he wouldn't nap. Long morning A time and shorter afternoon A time.

What time are you and the CM trying for nap now?
I think I'd ask CM to try much later, as you say she doesn't have lots of time to spend settling him so if she tried much much later he may settle quickly enough to get some sort of nap in rather than skip it. I don't think you have anything to lose, pretty pointless worrying about OT from a late nap as he isn't napping at all with the CM, kwim?

I see your point, some sleep better then none at all, just feel like with the messy two days and 2 days to get back to some sort of routine it is becoming hard work and i actually loosing track of what his routine should look like.
We tell cm to aim for 12.30, he just doesnt, but then they are having way too much fun i guess.
I aim for the same time, but as i say thirsdays are out he usually falls asleep by 11 with no way of keeping him awake, fridays we are trying to reestablish the routine and the weekend is kind of time to have a routine but when u dont know what it should look like its difficult.

6.40wu
12.40nap-2.05/2.35
7.45BT

This was today, he wasnt settling at 12.30 for nap-woke up briefly coughing, i just went in and said its time to sleep he turned away and continued sleeping, settled for BT great within 5 mins.

So we shall see what time he wakes tomorrow morn and whether he will settle at 12.30 again.
