Best bed time for a 16 mnth old?
« on: April 23, 2007, 23:18:51 pm »
What's the best time to put my 16 month old to bed?  What time would that make her wake up?  She takes 2 naps still.  At what what time would  I have her take those?

What is her current routine?  Please post it so we can help you out!

Typically bedtime is 12 hours after awake time.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

Right now she goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up at 7 am.  She takes a nap at 10:45 am and a second nap at 3:45, but it's been hard to get her to take the 2nd, although she does nap.

She might be transitioning to one nap if she's fighting it....3:45pm is also a little late in the day for a second nap in my opinion...how long are her naps for?

If you could push forward her bedtime to between 7-7:30, wake at  7am, with a mid day/early afternoon nap at around 12ish for approx. 2 hours... I think you'd be set! That would be 14ish hours of sleep in a 24 hour period (that's ideal in my opinion).....

One of the mods might have a different view... :)

My 16-month-old wakes at 7, naps 12-2, and is in bed at 8.   :)
