Is he sleeping any better at night with the one sleep Sterla??
DD is transitioning too, I'm hoping it means better nights, but probably not knowing her, lol.

heaven the first day DD dropped to one sleep she slept better, waking once, unfortunatly it hasnt continued..... just yet anyway! still hoping!!
DS has started sleeping better recently anyway - even before he dropped to one sleep. Half the time he only wakes up once, the other half he wake around 3 times. The main thing with dropping one sleep is that it means he's in bed for around 12 hours a night now, instead of 10-11 like he used to, cause he's going down earlier.
I think you have another twin in my ds! He is exactly the same, he prob dropped to 1 day sleep at 11 months old and ever since then he goes down for a sleep 2 to 2.5 hours after he wakes up for the day and then sleeps for 1.5 to 2 hours and then keeps going and going till bed time. I just cannot stretch him out any further than that. If i try he only sleeps for 45 minutes then i have to try and get him to have another sleep which is a mission. Ds was also going to bed for the night at 6ish but he got to the stage where he was getting up for the day at 5:30so we stretching his bedtime out to 7. It wasn't easy, had to use alot of distraction and wiggles but he is now happy to stay up to 7 most nights. His sleep works quite well for us now, i know that we need to spend the morning at home and if i want to make plans i always make them for after lunch as i know that he would have had his sleeps all over and done with. Although most of the toddler activites at the library etc are in the morning when he is asleep so we cant go to alot anymore.
DS has been asleep for 1 hour 45 mins now! Maybe, just maybe he'll stretch it out to 2 or 2.5 hours... that would work much better.
your having better luck than me! DD only did an hour todayits getting shorter, im trying to resettle but she hates being resettled

I tried and tried to keep Gaby on two sleeps a day, as long as I could - but in the end she made it clear that she was only going to have one... I ended up letting her lead the way, I let her have her nap when she wanted it, and didn't try to force her to stay in bed.. as tempting as it was, lol. The good thing I found was if she had her nap early, she'd generally go to sleep earlier at night - and ended up increasing her sleep time at night... some nights she'd have 14 hours... it was bliss
2 weeks on, and DS is still sticking to his one sleep of 1.5 hours. It just doesn't seem like enough sleep for someone so little! He is coping okay though - he doesn't tend to get super-cranky when he's tired anyway, just really glassy-eyed. I'm hoping he does extend it out to 2-3 hours, but no luck as of yet.
Sounds like he's got it all figured out. How come they are so much wiser than us?? LOL.
DD is still transitioning. Sometimes one, sometimes two. But guess what!! I've been meaning to tell you! You know how you were saying DS had started sleeping better! DD is too!! Not sleeping through or anything but so much better for her!! We have had a lot of 5 hr stretches lately!! Usually it's 3hrs max!
