Daytime sleep for a 10 month old
« on: April 18, 2006, 12:43:59 pm »
My nearly 10 month old takes 2 naps a day. 

But the total day time sleep she takes is from 1hrs 30 mins - 2hrs 30 mins, then about 11 hrs nighttime sleep is this pretty normal.

She is waking up early anywhere between 4.30am - 5.30am, I know its her teeth as she is teething pretty badly at the moment.  I don't think is overtired, but she can go up to 4hrs after her last nap of the day, which I think is too much for her.

This sounds about right for a 10 month old and 4 hours shouldn;t be too long of a stretch.  I know it sounds strange but moving your LO's bedtime earlier can sometimes help with the early waking.

I would especially try an earlier bedtime on her 'short nap' days.

HTH,

Thanks Richelle.

She goes to bed at 6.30pm at the moment anyhow, but doesn't fall asleep until 7pm about 4hrs after her last nap
