Enough sleep?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Writing in dinky phone keypad, so in brief:

DD is 15 months and has never been a particularly easy sleeper. We came back from a trip overseas a few weeks ago and the letlag was very difficult with her thinking 3 am was bedtime for a few days but we seem to be settling into a routine. It's just a sucky one.

She gets up for the day at around 8 or 9 and has a 90 min nap about 2 & a half hours later. Then shell have a 1 hour nap in the afternoon, waking from that between 4:30 and 5:30, then she goes to sllep between 10 and 10:30, after I've been trying to get her to sleep since 8 or 9 when she shows signs of tiredness.

She will wake 3 to 5 times in the night, sometimes for a pee and I can usually get her back to sleep without much fuss.

Is that enough sleep for a 15 month old? I wish I could get her to sleep earlier, and I can see she's tired but she fights it.

We cosleep and I nurse her to sleep. She has a molar coming in, might that have something to do with it?

Any thoughts most welcome.

And if you read this far, thank you!!

It sounds like enough to me -- that's 13.5 hours of sleep, more or less, by my count. My DD also slept more fitfully whenever a tooth was coming in, but it also just kind of comes and goes randomly. At 15 months, I would think that she might be getting ready to transition to just one nap/day, if she continues to have trouble settling down.

I think that is definately enough sleep. my 14 month yr old just started totaling that in the past couply of weeks, before that she was sleeping as little as 11 hours total in an entire day much to my dismay, but she was as happy as a clam and my ped said some babies just need less leep than others.
