My DS had a 12 noon big nap and a 4 pm “cat nap” at that age until he turned 2. Actually at 15 months, he had just dropped the mid-morning nap. His bedtime is/was 7:00 pm and he woke/wakes up at the same time as yours.</p> <p>Other thoughts: does he need more of a bedtime routine to wind him down? Is he getting screentime or something else that would be overstimulating him too close to bedtime? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15mo-takes-forever-to-fall-asleep#post-2860460 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:48:53 +0000 LadyDi 2860460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he’s barely making it to nap, maybe move nap earlier? Then hopefully he would be a little more tired by bedtime. DS has gone through phases though where it takes him longer to fall asleep. For us it usually passed after a couple of weeks. If he’s happy and seems well rested in the morning I wouldn’t stress too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15mo-takes-forever-to-fall-asleep#post-2860458 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:43:25 +0000 gotkimchi 2860458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually would try bedtime earlier - he might be overtired and wired. My kids still had 2 naps at that age </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15mo-takes-forever-to-fall-asleep#post-2860457 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:34:32 +0000 annem1990 2860457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t know what we’re doing wrong...<br /> DS has been taking 1-2 hours to go to sleep at night. He’s not at all upset. The opposite actually. He can be super fussy, but as soon as he’s in his bed he’s a happy camper. He just talks to himself. The only thing in the bed with him is his pacifier.<br /> Schedule:<br /> 7am(ish) - Wakeup<br /> 12-2 - Nap<br /> 7pm - Bedtime</p> <p>He barely makes it to his nap. Whenever I put him down for nap he’s asleep within 5mins. We’ve tried pushing bedtime to 8pm and he still is up chatting for a long time and still woke up at 7am. </p> <p>He’s not upset by any means. I just feel bad letting him lay there. But I feel like extended bedtime doesn’t work either :bummed: Is this normal? </p>
