DS is 19 months old and is having the strangest problem sleeping. Normally, I just let him keep his own schedule, but we are staying with family and a singing baby at 2 am is not making them very happy.
He used to sleep all night but for the past three weeks he has been waking up at like 10pm and staying up until 2 or 3am. Then he finally konks out and wants to sleep all day.
The past 4 days, I have limited his daytime napping because I want him to sleep all night - but it is not helping.
He used to take 2 naps a day, but two months ago he stopped needing his morning nap. I can't figure out when to give him his afternoon nap. And I find him getting very tired around 6pm.
Heres his schedule so far:
8am wake
12:30 - 2:30 nap
8pm bed
Here is what his schedule really looks like:
9:45 wake (after several attempts to wake him at 8)
12:30 - 2:30 nap (he wants to sleep longer)
8pm bed
10 pm wakes up and wants to play
2am finally falls asleep after numerous attempts
Should I move his nap later? But then he gets tired in the afternoon and just can't stay awake. Maybe we should go back to 2 naps?
