1 Year Old and Sleeping

[Sel079]

Hi, Just wondering how many sleeps anyone's 1 year olds have?

My bub is wonderful in sleeping through the night (she has since she was 5 weeks old) however during the day it's beginning to be a struggle to get her down for her 2 sleeps....
She would get up about 6ish, have first sleep 8.30 - 9.00ish, second sleep 1.00 - 1.30ish and then down at night at 7.30pm.
With her day sleeps she will just play in her cot (she has always self settled herself) up to an hour or more before going to sleep lately (after about 20-25 min if she is still playing she normally gets up for 5 minutes to read a story, quiet play before trying again, this mostly tends to work and she will mostly drop off after another 10/15min of playing quietly in cot)

Just wondering when we should be dropping down to one sleep a day...??

At that age, DD usually had two but a lot of the babies in Mothers Group were down to one.

I guess just see how she goes on one for a few days.

I still sometimes put DD down for some quiet time late afternoon if she's getting cranky and she seems to like being on her own for half an hour even if she doesn't sleep.

first of lucky u for having a child that slept thru the night so early lol

its just one of those thing's that you just know, when to drop a daytime sleep. but from the sounds of it might be a good time to try and drop a sleep see how she goes

wow lucky you on the sleping through and the self settling!!!
maybe some days she only needs 1 sleep - i dont think there is a standard time, they are all different. my ds is 17 months and has 2 sleeps some day and 1 others (and does not sleep like your bub at night!).
