Hey guys, wanting a bit of advice really in regards to daily schedules. My little one usually wakes up at 7.30am and has a nap between 1-3 and won’t go to sleep until 10pm!! I’m not sure if he’s overtired and refusing to sleep. Any tips or advice?

We are similar but all about an hour earlier! Wake at 6.30, nap 12-2pm and bed about 8.

6.45 we wake if not awake. Sleeps 12.15/1.45 then bed 7.45-8pm
It is really key not too much day time sleep tonight atthis age
We also now need 6 hours awake before bed. X

I wish he would sleep earlier!! -_-

My lo wakes up between 6:15-7. Gets very sleepy by mid morning and is usually asleep at 11:30. Trying to push it to 12 to align with nursery but having no luck so far. Some days he’ll nap for 2-3 hours, others just 1.5. Asleep around 7:45-8:30 depending on how much he napped

do you find that you have to wake him up often? (If he’s still asleep at wake up time)

My son wakes up about 7:30 and then he naps from 1-3 and then sleeps at 7:30/8pm

Hey, possibly bit of overtired there, when similar happened to our lo its not enough night sleep and too much awake time so we gradually tried to adjust
she will sleep 11ish hours at night,course this depends if nap not been so good or if day stretched longer due to childcare
5 hour and 5 hour 40 wake windows are what our lo usually does
so if wakes at 7, nap 12-2, bed 7.30ish
if she's not slept well or overtired can be viscious cycle of not sleeping well and waking up early and taking longer to fall asleep which makes it worse but we just keep to the same hours where poss even if means really early bed
does he not seem tired until 10 or you trying much earlier and takes ages to sleep?

probs 3-4 days out of 7 we wake her. To be honest to make the day flow and routine go well I’m happy to wake her up.
We sleep trained at 5m and she has been a dream ever since to be honest, but we’ve always tweaked day time sleep as her needs have changed so we’ve never experienced any split nights etc. x

My little girl got up at 6:45 today and has just fallen asleep at 10:40 and will sleep anywhere from 1 hour 45 - 2 hours . Then she’ll be up till bedtime at 7ish.

I wouldn’t worry about nursery. We have very different routines on nursery days. At home she’s asleep by 11 or 11.30 latest but at nursery, she has lunch at 11.45 then sleeps from around 12.45. She’ll push through tiredness at nursery with everything going on and then it’s easier for them to get her to sleep too as she’s more tired

You could try to cap the nap / wake them earlier. Depends if it’s a problem for you!

that’s helpful thank you
