[Sylvia.]

what time does your toddler wake?

what time does your toddler nap? how long for? do you have to wake them?

what time does your toddler go down at night?

how much trouble do you have?

[Caroline-Charlies Mummy]

Ds is just over 2. Here's a good day:

Wakes 7.30am
Nap 12.30pm
Wakes (usually have to wake him) 2.30pm
Bedtime (after long wind-down incl. bath) 7.15pm/7.30pm

We usually don't have much trouble, but this past week has been a nightmare. Guess why? His routine got screwed up with lots of different things going on . Getting back on track now.

Why are you asking? Are you having difficulties?

DS is 19months,
He wakes usually between 7:30 and 8:30.

Nap depends on what time he wakes in the am so between 12:30 and 13:00, he sleeps for around 2 hrs and we normally have to wake him and we don't let him sleep later than 15:00

Bedtime is between 19:00 and 19:30 depending on his tired cues.

Charlotte is 3.5 (just over) and will only nap during the day if she is really whacked or if she isn't feeling well.

Normally she will wake between 7/7.30 on days when I am going to work - sometimes earlier if I need to be out of the house.  At the weekend, she is usually up at 8 ish.

Bedtime is 8pm, this is the earliest I can manage in in the evenings after work - after tea, play, bath etc.

After their tea, I play with them both for a while, and then they have a bath together, then into PJs, downstairs for their bedtime milk, then up to Charlotte's room for story and cuddles, bedtime kisses and Cam goes to bed in his cot in his room and I tuck Charlotte in.

Sometimes Charlotte will read quietly in her room but has usually fallen asleep after about 10 minutes.

Ds is 22 months old.

Wake 8:30
Cribtime 1-3 (sometimes he sleeps, sometimes he has a party--if he falls asleep late I wake him at 3:30)
Bedtime 8:30

He has no problems going into his crib.  Half the time, he plays for an hour or more before napping.  Sometimes he sleeps right away.

[Carmela's Mom]

Carmela is 3
wake between 6 & 7
nap 12:30-2:00
bed 8:00 (falls asleep closer to 9:00)

Joey is 1 tomorrow -- not sure if he's a toddler as he's not walking haha
wake between 6:15 & 7
nap 10:30-11
nap 2 1-3
bedtime 7:30

[Ryan&HollysMom]

ds is 13.5 mos old.
he wakes up between 7:30 and 8 am.
naps from about 11-12:30 and again from 4ish (can be as late as 4:30) for 30-45 min. i have to wake him from that one. bedtime is at 7:30, now that summer is here, we tend to put him down just before 8 so we can spend more time outside.
so far, no troubles, he likes to sleep. sometimes he has trouble settling for the night when the afternoon nap was too late. he still does it on his own though, i just hear him be awake longer than normal.

[Layla]

Isabella is 2y2m and her day is

6-6.30am - wake
12.30 - sleep
2.10ish - wake (used to be 2hrs but less now)
7 - bed (asleep by 7.30)

We don't have probs with nap or bedtime. She will fall asleep for a nap within 5-10mins and at night about 30mins.

James is 25mths (almost 26mths) and this is his routine:

4-5:30am - anytime here is fine for him to wake  (although we do try and get him to stay in his bedroom till at least 5:30am - sometimes he does go back to sleep when waking around 4:30am

11:30/12pm nap for 2hrs

7:30 bed

Probably not what you are looking for  .  We don't have any settling issues although we do have the occassional walking out

[Carmela's Mom]

What's the problem Russl?  Maybe we can help?

[mari]

what time does your toddler wake?

7-7.30am

what time does your toddler nap? how long for? do you have to wake them?
1ish I wake her at 2.30pm

what time does your toddler go down at night?
7pm, but (as she is now!) she will have a singalong until about 8pm.

how much trouble do you have?
None really, although naps are a problem sometimes, then I put her to bed earlier, 6.15-6.30pm if she skips the nap. 
She does take a long time to get to sleep at bedtime, but she goes eventually and i never have to do anything like WIWO anymore.  she has Minnie and Mickey mouse to help her sleep now 

What's happening your end Russyl?  Anything we can help with?

My DS is 35 months (wow, seems old when I say it like that).

He wakes around 8-8:30 am.
Naps somewhere around 2:30 pm, I wake him at 4:30 pm (the latest).  Sometimes he wakes up himself earlier.
Bedtime is around 8:15-8:30 pm, sometimes he doesn't fall asleep for a 1-1.5 hours.  He just rolls around in bed.

Our wind down for bed is pretty long, we start at 7:30 to tidy up, organize his cars (he has to line them up in the certain order), brush teeth, pee, bath, goodnights, story, then finally, sleep!
