    My DD is the same! She's never slept much during the day at all. I'm sure someone's already mentioned it but a baby sleep cycle is about 40 minutes, so even though it doesn't seem like that long, if that's all she needs then its fine. Is she tired when she wakes up?

    Yep...we are down to 10 minute day sleeps at the moment!

    I'm slowly going insane!!!

    I can remember DD1 going from 2 day time sleeps to one long one around 12months of age. Maybe slowly merge the two sleeps. For instance if bub has a morning sleep around 10am try and extend it to 10.30 until you can extend it to say 11am. Then try and encourage her to sleep for longer. This maybe a bit of work but it just may work. I would much rather a toddler have a long lunch time sleep than 2 quickies.

    You may have to work really hard to achieve this. I would stay home for a week and instist on set plan. At first it maybe frustrating but eventually she'll come around...hopefully
