Jordie,

I think (from memory) my DS was basically on the same routine back then as he is now. Naps at 9.30 and 2.30 - then bed time at night was 7.30. I always persisted in trying to get him to go to sleep at those times, just because it seemed to be the times I was most successful at getting him to sleep. even now at nearly 14 months old, he went to sleep at 9.30 this morning till about 11.30 and then down again at 2.30ish. He slept till just after 4. Some days are better than others. Maybe just try to write down which days seem to flow better, and what times she goes down easiest? I found that even putting him down at 9.35 made a difference to how long he would sleep for (if we put him down earlier or later than 9.30, he wouldn't sleep as long).
Its a very thin line they travel sleepwise I think!!!!! Good luck at the sleep school.
