How long does your toddler nap for?
My little boy naps for 2hrs, but wakes at 3am and struggles to get back to sleep and then usually wakes up to start the day at 5/5.30am. He also goes to be pretty late, at around 8.30/9.
Every time I've tried to cut his nap back a bit he's woken so upset and has been tired and miserable for the rest of the day. Anyone else struggling with sleep? My daughter wasn't like this, she slept through from 11 months, so I'm not sure what to do with him

My little girl wakes at 06:30. - First nap 10:15 (45min) - Second nap is usually 14:45/15:00 based off a 4 hour wake window and awake by 16:00 at the latest. - bedtime is 20:00 We did have issues with cat napping and early rising for a few weeks, but I increased her wake windows and capped the first nap and it seems to have sorted it (she was also teething at the time which didn’t help). We are preparing to drop to one nap by 18m

My boy only just started sleeping though the night within the last month (9pm -6am). He is very busy during the day getting into everything but will have a long nap of about 2 hours as well and other times he will have a few 30-40mins sleeps through out the day to make up that 2 hours. We do white noise, diffuser with sleep oils, bedtime body wash ect. I found our best thing though was sleeping with him for a few nights as he sleeps all night in our bed and then moving him to his cot that’s right next to our bed and he started staying asleep.
