Catch up for OT 2.5 year old?

Haha!

So yesterday he did a 45 minutes nap but went to bed late because my husband struggled to get him to bed on time.

He did:
WU 6:45 (short night)
S 12:30-1:15 pm (in the stroller from the library)
BT 8:05 pm

He did a 10.75 night. Isn’t that low for his age?

 Today the nanny woke him up after an hour from 2:30-3:30 after he resisted sleep and now it’s almost 9:30 and he’s still up 🙄

Today was:
WU 6:45 am
S 2:30-3:30 pm
BT still up (9:20)

So my question is could this be a OT cycle?she said he woke up very cranky.  I should have had her wake him up at 3-3:15 Right? Maybe he would have went down easily by 8?

Days like these confuse me bc I would think he would still be super tired from such a long morning and being woken up from his nap.

How old is he now? My DS1 had a short night phase before we dropped nap.

[JennVanessa1083]

He’s about 33 months now

[Haribo2012]

I’d defo be thinking about shortening nap at that age. I found anything over 20 mins at that age resulted in cranky child for a good hour x

Hello!
This
It’s me again lol. I will be writing a separate post around the GW, but I had a question around his routine when there is a horribly rough night due to Day 1 of sleep training...

He finally went to bed around 10:30 and woke up at 5:30 am unwillingly to go to sleep. He has been doing 45-1.25 naps and sleeping 10-11.5 hours at night.

What do we do today in regard to nap and bedtime? What times should we aim for since he is on such little sleep. This is new territory for us since he’s never slept this little.

[Haribo2012]

Hi
I’d prob allow hour nap and earlier BT see if he tacks on. x

[JennVanessa1083]

What time should I give the nap?

He usually wakes up at 7:30 and naps around 1:30/2 pm

[Haribo2012]

For me at that age I’d stick to as close to normal x

[JennVanessa1083]

Ok he napped at 1 pm and slept for an hour. My husband is in the room with him since I believe 6:30 and he’s still awake 🙄

When does sleep training get better? Lol I know it’s only day 2 but sheesh!

[Haribo2012]

Lol bless you, just remember the older they are the more willpower they have!

[JennVanessa1083]

Haha!! It’s so true! We had to take out his teepee because he would just endlessly play in it.

[Haribo2012]

Hope he settles soon x

[JennVanessa1083]

Things were ok and now he’s crying just for me. We haven’t been letting him nap too long yet he’s still resisting bedtime.

He’s 34 months old now. Today he fell asleep early with the nanny because he had an awful night 11:30-8:30 am; napped from about 1:20-2:15pm

We put him down at 8:15 and it’s now 9:45 and he’s screaming crying for me. My husband is with him since we are doing gradual withdrawal.

I’m losing my mind! Is this normal? Is he just really overtired or something?

[Haribo2012]

Oh hugs hun it’s so exhausting isn’t it! What happens if you go in does he settle straight away?!

Could you try a really early bt see if he can catch up?

[JennVanessa1083]

Thank you...and yes we settled right away when I went in the other night.

Last night I wasn’t home and he did an ok job of getting to sleep but that was after not napping and having an 11.5 day. However, then he wakes up today after a short night 9.75!

Not sure if we put him down too early or too late ugh. Then he fights his nap crying hysterically for 45 minutes despite saying in the beginning he’s tired and want a nap. Ahhhhh I’m going crazy over his weird sleep.
