WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY 21MNTH OLD NAAPS!!
« on: July 06, 2015, 16:35:22 pm »
Hi everyone ;D ;D

Im back again for some help! My little guy has always taken long naps and goes down fairly easily on his own. He has had this routine for the last 6 months or zero issues. Suddenly, he wakes 45-60min into his nap several times a week. Anyone willing to share their routines with a high sleep needs baby or any other experience??

his easy is:
wake 630
nap 1130-130/2
bed 7

Sounds like he's a bit UT hun.  I'd try pushing his nap out to 12pm and see if that helps :)

My Gabriel moved to a 6 hour A time at that age too which also pushed bedtime a little later as well. Anything to keep that nap! :)

Agree with pps. Also worth bearing in mind there is a language leap around now, here any kind of development threw sleep off track for a bit and then everything settled down again.  Whilst I would move the nap a bit later I would also keep in mind that you might not need big routine changes and that some disturbances will sort themselves out after the development.

Hi! At 20 months he was doing about a 13 hour day up around 7 nap around 1230 for 1 hr 15 mins sometimes as long as 1.5 but that was/is still a long nap for him and into crib around 730 taking 30 mins to fall asleep so 8. But there was definetly a big language leap around 21 months and he would just lay in his crib practicing all his words before falling asleep! Shortly after he was giving me trouble going down for nap so I pushed it to a 1pm nap until 215/230 and into crib a bit later around 8. Then about a month or two ago out of nowhere he would go days without napping for a few weeks ( think it was his molars bothering him not really sure) and now that he just turned 2 on average his day is he wakes at 7 sometimes 645 or 730 nap from 1-230 into crib at 8 asleep by 830. So about a 13.5 hr day. Hope that helps :) what's your routine like?

Thanks for the routine! Would you say your little guy is high sleep needs? My guy definitely is!! Since October  his routine has been 630/7 up for the day, nap 1130-2 and bed at 7. Right now his nap is usually not longer then 2hrs.... 1145-130/2 max

My Gabe I think is about average or low. He's never done a 2 hour nap! Ha. 1.5 hours is long for him. Sometimes it's just an hour. But I was always just happy that he sleeps through the night 11-12 hours. When he does nap long he might only sleep 10.5-11 hours at night. But he's a great night sleeper so I can't complain. What issues are you having with your Gabe?

The issue is he use to go down at 1130 without a peep... now sometimes he will go down other days it takes 30min, but hes sleeping somedays half the amount he use to..

Yeah we did that here too so we pushed nap out later. Give it a try. Maybe he's just ut.
