Posted in here as not much response in the sleep section (maybe everyone else has got it all sorted by 16 months!) also hoping for some advice from people who don't have to look in the sleep section for support!!
basically pre Xmas I thought we had it cracked. DS was sleeping 1.5hr at 11am and then 7-6.30 at night.
Since Xmas though his naps are never longer than 45 mins and he has started waking earlier and earlier (5am). It's driving me insane!
I'm sure he isn't getting enough sleep as he wakes tired and grumpy in the morning and from his nap, but I can't convince him go to sleep for longer.
He is at CM most days and so only has one sleep there, she is quite vague about how long he sleeps but I can't see it being any longer there.
I've tried pushing the nap later and earlier but didn't seem to help. Same with pushing bedtime earlier than later.
Is it possible he only needs 45mins?
Any tips of how I can encourage him to sleep longer?
Times like this I wish I was a SAHM so I could get a proper routine sorted. Dreading 5am tomorrow
