My lo is almost 17 mos old. We are on 1 nap a day that work great. He has recently gotten over a few illnesses, but is much better now.
Anyhow for the past week or so (since he got out of the hospital), he has not been going to bed until 10:00 at night. The weird thing is, He is NOT fussy at all or whinny like he is tired. I always try laying him down about 8:00 after our normal bedtime routine which is brush teeth, say goodnight to all the pics on the wall.
Now he just lays in his crib and screams until you go and get him.
Here is what our normal day looks like: Maybe he is getting to much daytime sleep and that is why he does not want to go to bed earlier?
??
Wake: 7:30/8:00 - Sippy Cup
Breakfast:
Snack:
Lunch (sometimes)
Nap: Anywhere between 11:00 and 12:30 (he ALWAYS lets you know when he is ready) NO fuss at all here.
Sleeps about 3 hours
Wake: Lunch or snack
Dinner
Bath
Play
Bed lately about 9:00/10:00 :-0
For example the other night he screamed and screamed and I went and got him and all he wanted to do was play. He was not fussy at all. Then I tried again about 30 minutes to an hour later and he went right to sleep no problem.
Should I stick with a bedtime and stick it out OR just go with his lead. When he is tired, he has no problem going to sleep.
Thanks, Wendy
