My DD has alway liked an early start and now I'm happy if she sleeps past 6. Since Xmas though her sleep has got worse and the last couple of days she has been waking at 4.30. She is obviously knackered and needs more sleep but is fighting going back to sleep.
She is at a childminders who just let's them sleep whenever they seem tired which was working fine before Xmas but she is always quite vague about how much and when she sleeps. Over Xmas I noticed that his naps had become quite a bit shorter (45mins to an hour) and so when I have her at home with me if she only has 45mins in the morning I'll then give her an afternoon nap of another 45mins as well - which seems to help.
Basically I think she is overtired but not sure how to lengthen the daytime nap back to 1.5 that she used to have. Also don't know how to broach with CM that she probably needs to get more sleep there. Does your CM write down how long your baby sleep when they are there? Do you think it would be ok to ask them to do this so I can find out what is going on sleep wise?
Anyone got any tips to help with EMW at this age or is it just a phase? What is your 16month old naps like?
