Could it be just a phase? I feel for you Nel.B. My 17mo DD changes her sleeping routine almost all the time. I mean I was just getting used to one and she changed and this has been going on since she was born! She cut short her day naps to twice a day, of about one or two hours each. Then (here's the killer) she changed and had only a 20-30 minute nap each time. Her bedtime too she seemed to stretch it to later and later. Then she dropped her day nap to once about 40-60minutes. Just a couple of months or so she's started having a 2 or 3 hour nap but her bedtime is later. Now she goes down between 9.30-10.30pm (before it was between 6.30-8pm). I try to develop a routine, get her into her swag by 9pm but she has a mind of her own. She will just toss and turn in her cot and being silly sometimes and even cry and drop her dummy several times and if I ignore her will sometimes cry harder until she throws up. When she finally goes to sleep she sleeps right thru until 8.30-9am and sometimes close to 10am. So I'm not sure to be thankful for that or wish that she could settle down easily at night without the crying. Just hoping, it's just a phase.... and bedtime won't be as stressfull as it is and she'll continue to sleep right thru the night.
