My year old daughter wakes at 630 every morning no matter the time we put her down (normally at 730/8 pm). Her morning nap then occurs around 830. Any suggestions how to push back wake up time and therefore push back her morning nap?
I wish I knew. Right now DD wakes up around 6-7 (if I don't go in to nurse her first) and will go back to sleep after I nurse her so that's what we do. She then sleeps until about 9. Although recently she's been getting over a cold and has slept until 10 or even 10:30. It's tough because I don't want to wake her up to go and do stuff, because I know she'll just be tired and cranky.
I figure her sleep schedule will shift as she gets older and I should just be thankful she doesn't wake up earlier. :-/
'The Sleep Easy Solution' book outlines strategies amazingly well. Figure on 11 hours of sleep so plan bedtime and naptime from there. The book really helps outline a routine if you're feeling out of control.
