Riley is just 2 and he gets up between 7am- 8am, has a day sleep from about 12-3 or more then goes to bed about 8.30 (sometimes later) The last few weeks he has been waking at about 3am and coming into bed with us for a while.

thanks for the response guys!!
as some may know although sophie is an excellent night sleeper days are another thing!!
she currently goes down around 6.30/7pm sleep til around 7am
have been trying to be consistant with day nap, i.e same time, after lunch etc but it is soooooo hit and miss, one day she'll sleep for 1hr 15mins others like today lucky to get 35/40 mins and its driving me nuts!!
i was windering if i was putting her down too early for day sleep, might try putting down a little later!

Maybe try lying down with her on a bigger bed? If you get desperate....

i wish this could work but she's such an independant sleeper, i doubt very much that it would work

mbear we do activites as well in the morning! we normally go out if we need to then play out side til lunch, she goes down realitivly easily, so she's tired, jsut doesn tsleep for long enough

AJP- Ash rarely has day sleeps now. She gets up bout 8am goes to bed bout 8pm. She'll have day sleep bout once or twice a week now. I still put her down every day bout 1ish with her books and she just has chat to herself. I think as long as she is having a rest! Oh and she is 20 months she prolly been refusing day sleeps for few months now.

I find when we 'do' sometihng in the morning, she will almost always have a good day sleep i.e some physical activity..... Letting her run outside for a while, play on the swings, have a jump on the trampoline, etc exhausts the lil one (and me )...by 1pm she is well and truly zonked.

DS is 20 months old.

He wakes up at about 5am but has a quick feed and goes back to sleep. He actually gets out of bed between 6 and 7am.

He has a sleep around 12ish - anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending.

He goes to bed at 7pm (and is usually up at least once during the night....)

AJP - Rylee gets up at 7.30 am goes to bed at 7.30 pm and doesn't have a day time nap - maybe once a week if I am lucky - I still put her in her cot for an hour to chill out and give me time out. She does have a nap at child care - don't know how they do it?
