18.5 Months Old Routine Change?
« on: March 15, 2017, 16:35:08 pm »
My daughter is 18.5 months old & ACTUALLY sleeping pretty well - compared to the last 18 months of her life. She typically sleeps 830-830, which is amazing! But she's only napping about 1.5ish hours everyday. Is this a pretty good sign that I need to increase her A time at this point or let it be until we run into any issues? She's also been sort of waking up, like half asleep, at about 7 every morning. All we do is rub her back for a second & she sleeps til 8/830.

Current routine:

8: WU & milk
830: Breakfast
12: Lunch
1: Nap (approx 1.5 hours)
230: WU & milk
3: Snack
630: Dinner
745: Bath
8/815: Bedtime routine
830/845: Asleep

Thank you for any reassurance or advice! :)

Hi Honey:) can I kindly ask what's wrong with 1.5h nap:)? My DS was exactly on the same routine that age and if he did 2h, we was UT at bedtime and screamed bloody murder. 12h day with a 1.5h nap seems to be a good routine for that age.
At 18mo they go through a sleep regression - sometimes around 20mo their sleep needs go up once again so maybe she will lenghten her nap a bit again.

There's nothing wrong with it at all! I just wasn't sure if the waking up early was a sign that we needed to change anything. I have a hard time being able to tell when she needs a change in her routine. Thank you so much, we'll stick to this for now! :)
