Does waking up our LO's from nap earlier than usual work?!
« on: April 17, 2006, 21:27:07 pm »
My DS is 21 months old and has always loved his sleep, our day generally looks like this:

7am (ish) - wake and have breakfast
12noon - lunch
1pm - nap for approximately 2 hours
5pm - dinner
6.30 - 7pm bath and bed

For the last week or so I've started putting DS to bed at 7.30pm as he is wide awake but instead of going to sleep within the usual 20 minutes it's taking him 2-3 hours to go over.  On Friday last week he only had a 15 minute nap and was fine so I was considering dropping his afternoon nap altogether but after reading some of the other posts I now wonder whether I should just wake him after 1 hour and see what happens?!  I'm worried that if I start waking him after 1 hour and it makes no difference to bedtime then there's no going back to the nice long 2 hour nap he currently has in the afternoon!  What do you think I should do?
