1 year dated bizarre naptimes?
My daughter is one this week and has odd naptimes.She sleeps for about 2 hours from 10.30-12.30 and next won't settle for her afternoon nap until around 4 sometimes 5. This means she goes to bed rather late at night (around 9ish). If she misses a nap she'll dance to bed earlier but she wakes between 6-7 in the morning regardless of what time she go to bed so on those days (missing a nap) she doesn't get as much total sleep. Does anyone have any advice on how I can convert her timings so that she has an earlier bedtime?
When my son turned 1 he started doing that too. He would take a doze at 10-10:30 and then not take another until 4-5. I took that as a sign that he was competent to stay awake for a longer time, so I moved the 10am nap to 11am. And if he got tired at around 5 I would let him snooze but wake him up for dinner 30 minutes later. I would also send him to bed an hour or so faster. Good luck
i be a babysitter for a few times in this really nice people's house that had naptimes NO MATTER WHAT. their kids understood that sometimes. the parents told me to nurture them then let them go doze. they would always struggle in going to sleep because they wanted to own fun and play. i would tell them that they would get no treat or not to go the fun place their parents planned for them. they listen immediately. tell your daughter that she has to be in motion to nap or she wont get candy ice cream etc and plan a fun outing that she like and tell her that she wont go there when she wake up if she doesnt go to sleep now.
Answers: My little man also wakes between 6 and 7 later we do something quite active and tiring after breakfast and then a doze from 10-11. If he's not awake by 11.15 I'll go into his room, open his curtains and he usually wakes up moderately happily. We then play, eat lunch, play some more (I love this playing point, so much better than work!) and then he sleeps from 2 till 3.30ish. If he's not up by 4 I go and try to gently stir him up. He's then back in bed by 7.30.
I have to introduce this when he was about 1 because his nap times have gone a bit wrong and he kept getting grumpy because he wasn't getting enough 'proper' sleep. He's now 17 months and some days he misses the morning nap but have an earlier longer nap after lunch.
I had to be unyielding and keep putting him down for naps even when he didn't look convinced! It really paid rotten as he now knows when he gets tired and resembling clockwork he does the sign for sleep and wants to go for his nap.
Good luck!
you should do an activity early in the morning similar to take a small walk with her around 11;30-20;00 if that dosent work in recent times try to make her tired
then eat lunch and she should probrably want to progress to bed then around 12:30 - 1:00 then let her bring a two hour nap or so
try to keep her awake after that so she can go to bed at a regular time
