Have a 26 month old ATM, her routine hasnt changed though from 18months.
GETS UP: 7-8am
DAY SLEEP: 2-330pm
NIGHT TIME SLEEP: 7pm
If we're out and about, or if we've had a lazy day, she sometimes goes without a sleep (rarely) - like yesterday - so we put her in at 630pm at night.she slept thru till 8am this morning....
I have a very lazy almost 24 mths old.
Gets up - 8.30am (on a non work day)
Day sleep - 3-4 hrs
Bedtime - 6.30-7pm
She really loves a sleep and I certainly don't mind her loving it either LOL!!!
Like mbear, if we are out and she misses a day sleep she will certainly catch up on her night sleep sleeping an extra couple of hours esp on weekends.
I have a 19 month old.
Get up: 8am.
Nap: only once or twice a week at around 1pm for about 2 hours.
Go to bed:6pm at the latest. (probably from no naps!)
-get up in the morning: 8-830am
-got down for a sleep and how long: 130pm to 430pm
-go to bed at night! 8pm -830pm (FDC nights generally 830-9)
As you know Missy is 18 months old!
Rise-6-7.30am
Nap 11/11.30-12/2
Bed 7.30
I have a 20 month old.
- get up in the morning - around 7am
- go down for a sleep and how long - 12.30pm for about 1.5 hrs
- go to bed at night - between 8pm and 8.30pm
T gets up any time from 6:30 - usually between 6:30 and 7 but sometimes as late as 9. He goes down about 6pm, a bit later on day-care days. He ususally sleeps for 12 - 14 hours at night, and if at home will sleep for between 3 and 4 1/2 hours, usually going down around 11am, sometimes earlier. At day care he only sleeps for up to 2 1/2 hours and boy is he tired when I pick him up. The other day he missed his day sleep as we were out then went down around 2:30pm and we had to wake him at 6:30 the next morning for day care!!
But mind you J never slept for anywhere near that long at that age, so they are all different.
I have a 23 month old.
-get up in the morning usually around 6.30am - 7.00am. There's the odd day where he might sleep past 7am. Maybe once every fortnight.
-got down for a sleep and how long Has recently dropped a regular 1.5 hr day nap. Will sleep every day for at least 1/2 hour in my arms while BFing, usually while I watch the ABC midday news. When I go to put him down he has recently been waking up. Today i got him to stay asleep by lying down with him in my bed. I got up and he stayed there for his usual 1.5 hours sleep. I think this might be the way to go now.
-go to bed at night! Really varies. Anytime between 8pm and 9.30pm. Has recently started to drift off by himself after having a small bottle in his bed after a BF from me. Otherwise DH is really good at boring him to sleep telling stories while he lays in his cot and listens LOL
I have a 20 month old. Generally get up at 7am on the dot!
Has a day sleep from about 12pm to 2:30/3ish.
Goes to bed at 8pm.
Often I have to wake him from the day sleep as if he goes longer than that we won't go to bed at night.
OMG there are some lucky lucky mums out there.
DS (19 months) wakes up approx 6.30am.
Has nap at 10.30-11.00am for exactly 2 hours. Can set your watch by it.
Goes to bed at night about 9.30-9.45pm. Wakes up at 4.30am and comes into bed with me and DH for the rest of the night.
This routine is killing me and DH so we are currently trying to cut out DS' day sleep. When he doesn't have a nap he goes to bed beautifully at about 6.30pm. Sometimes he will need a 30 minute power nap to get him through till 6.30pm but if we do this he actually gets a bit MORE sleep in total and DH and I actually get some down time.
DS has always been one of those babies that needs less sleep than average.
Oh yeah I forgot to add that DS often wakes up at 4am and comes into co-sleep with us... I didn't mention it because the nursery is just across our foyer (about 15 steps from bed to cot) and when I bring him into our bed he BFs for about 2 minutes then we both go straight back to sleep. I often wonder what people do who don't co-sleep. We've done this with all 3 of our children. We don't lose much sleep. DH often never even wakes.
18 month old (as u know!)
-get up in the morning: 7 - 8am
-go down for a sleep and how long: goes down at 12 and usually wakes around 2 -2.30pm
-go to bed at night! most nights 8.30 but sometimes can be after 9 on monday nights after dinner at my parents
We have a 26 month old and his routine has been pretty much the same for the last 12 months. Gets up at 6.30ish, has a 2 hours sleep at around 12-12.30 and bed at 7.30ish.
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 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.
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.
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?
~ between 7-8 wakes up
~ goes for a sleep at around 12 pm for 1.5 - 3 hrs
~ goes to bed between 7-8pm
Has been like this since about 18mths :)
My sons almost 22 months:
GETS UP: 6.30-8am
DAY SLEEP: anytime from 1pm can sleep until 5pm. Normally sleeps around 2 hours
NIGHT TIME SLEEP: 7pm
Just to answer your "wondering" Bath - we have never co-slept, DS is 14mths old. If he wakes at night (rarely now) it's a quick visit, insert dummy and he goes back to sleep. Sometimes he may need a cuddle, but back in cot to bed after that. You can stop wondering now!:
Ryan is 2
up at 5am
most days doesn't have a day sleep ( far to busy my boy is )
down for the night 10 pm at least sometimes later ( the kid just doesn't stop )
wakes occassionally at 3am then into bed with us
this behaviour is aslo killing us slowly but to tell the truth i don't have th energy to try and change his sleep patterns atm hoping when he goes into a big bed he'll be alright (wishful thinking )
Great thread, very interesting! Thanks Jols :) I'm really hoping that my DS follows one of those 'lots of sleep' patterns when he's 18-24 months LOL! I think that's wishful thinking though ;)
On the co-sleeping thing, my kids never wanted to, it wasn't for lack of trying because I honestly though it would be easier but it ended up being a nightmare for both kids. Cuddle plug and resettle also works best here. My kids love their bed and don't like being disturbed even if they have woken themselves LOL they just like a little bit of reassurance and thats it.
well she went down at 1pm today after some very obvious tired signs, woke........ 45 mins later :doh:
as much as i know i need to accept that she just wont sleep longer, i cant!!!!!! i get frustrated at the lack of me time!!
funny thing is that up until around 9 months she was still having 4 sleeps a day!!
I hear you on the me time Jols.....DS has slept for 1 hour 10 mins today, and he's currently getting about 9.5-10 hours at night! So I'm struggling for me time too ;)
its hard hey sez!! i know i should be grateful she sleeps so well at night but.....
All kids are different though, my gf's daughter hated day sleeps from about 18 months so sleep time turned into quiet time with toys on her bed. Whereas if Paris (6) is tired she'll still happily take herself off for an afternoon nap. I have two sleepers. But Seth (2) still has days where he doesn't like or have day sleeps. I think they are all different and sometimes its easier to work with what you've got iykwim?
Jols I can totally understand, its hard they are all different & they change their sleeping whenever they have a developmental change.
Jovie:
wakes: 6- 6.30am
Nap: ??? random, sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes 1hr 30 min
night: 8pm if under an hour nap, 9pm if over, and 7pm if no nap....
Her sleeps are very dependant on what we are doing. If we have a home day, she doesn't nap well. Even if we do things and activities together, and I do stimulating things, its just not enough. If we go out in the morning, shopping or walking or just out and about, than she sleeps well. If she falls asleep in the car, it will be a short nap, if its in her bed, a long one....
If anyone else is in our house awake, she will not nap. Its very annoying....
J was a 45 min day napper, until he reached about 15 months. Then suddenly he started sleeping for 3 hours.
The issue that we are having now is that he doesn't want to go to bed as he thinks that he is missing out. does anyone else's kiddies do that? He goes to his cot and howls!! It lasts about 5 mins, and then he realises that it is in fact bed time and more often than not he will settle.
Yep Jovie absolutely refuses to sleep at night until her big sister is asleep. There is no way we should ever attempt to get her to bed first. Its so exhausting...
Ditto Christy. My 4yo demands to go to bed at around 7pm each night...whether he has had dinner or not! Thankfully because of that it means we can incorporate "I just need to go check on your brother" when settling our youngest in his cot. If I come back and report to him that his older brother is asleep he will consider settling. I think half the reson my youngest isn't settling during the day is because he doesn't want to miss out on what his older brother is doing.
With my "wondering" I didn't mean to make it sound like co-sleeping was the superior method or anything :) It's just that if we didn't do it then there would be no way known our toddler would re-settle any other way. Our older kids grew out of the need to join us in bed... at about 2yo. Looking forward to that day with my youngest. I think it might happen next summer. My body heat is too appealing in the depths of winter I think! We don't leave the central heating on over night.
