14 mo sleep woes

[katiebee18]

For about a werk and a half, DS either wakes for the day at 355-445 am or is up in the night from 12/1-330 am. He goes to bed around 8 -830. As a general rule, my children sleep 11 hours in a 24 hour period but this serms extreme as some days he only sleeps 7 or 8 hours at night.

I cam usually get 30-45 more mins in he am if I hold him but as soon as i try to lay him down he wakes and cries

Naps are usually good at 2-3 hours. Sonetines he falls asleep for 10-15  mins when i pick up ds1 from preschool at 11 and then will still nap 1h15 m or so later. I wake him at 345

Could I be putting him down too late for nap at 115? My kids could always do long stretches at young ages. I have a 3 and 5 year old so this time works best with lunch and activites after preschool. He doesn't usually seem overly tired.

He has not been an independant sleeper since like 8/9 months. How do i get that back on track?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi there, it's such a tricky age, sleep regressions looming, developmental stuff, teeth...the list goes on 

My DS2 is 14.5 months and tends to have 2 hours day sleep and 11 at night but we have broken nights at the moment as teeth are popping through.

I think if he's getting that micro nap about 11 then 1.15 of fine for his nap, does it make the night better if he's had 2 hours rather then 3 at lunch?

7-8 hours overnight is quite low for his age, is he generally low sleep needs? Personally I'd say if he's up at 4, 8pm is far too late for bed and he's possibly using that long 3 hours at lunch to catch up and the NW/ew are from OT.

I'd try keeping that micro nap at 11 putting him for a nap at 1.15 if he goes down well but having him up by 3pm then in bed by 7pm latest and see if he can catch up or get back on track x
