hi melinda

with jay he was around 15mths old - he used to have 2 naps a day am was (same as lani atm) 9 till 11 then afternoon 2 till 4, at around 15mths he started taking a while to drop off to sleep at his 9am one not crying or anything just amusing himself in his cot however when he did drop off he slept till around 1pm - so i gradually started putting him down about 15mins later every few days so within around 1wk he would have lunch around 11.30 then go down for a nap around 12 till around 3pm - it was heaven. as he got older his nap time changed to around 1pm and i used to have to wake him up at 4pm - these day sleeps completely stopped at the age of nearly 4yrs old, when we were discovering when we went in at night to tuck him back in before we went to bed that he was still laying there awake at 11pm, even now when he is tired i just encourage him to watch a video and lay down for a bit and sometimes he drops off - golly gosh he is going to find school hard.

good luck - you know you may even find that if you put jacob on 1 sleep a day his night time sleeps may go back to normal for you who knows give it a try, can't hurt hey.
