DS' (21 months) one nap has shortened to 1.5 hours the last few weeks, so he's tired earlier, waking up earlier... probably getting 11-12 hours a night. Need to push back his bedtime slowly as DST comes in the coming months!
-
@mrsjyw: don't say it! I am scared for DST!!
She isn't napping good at all. We usually got at least 2 hours at home, but it is 1.15 -1.30 at most. She went to bed a little after 8 last night, took her almost an hour to go to sleep, and then I had to wake her at 7.
-
Really well! Going on 3 weeks of STTN!
She usually gets 12-13 hours overnight and 1 2-2.5 hour nap.
-
We're having fun and games here! For the last 4 weeks or so, E has been struggling to go to sleep at night and then waking up several times during the night, inconsolable. It's a combination of things, I think: Teething, hunger (she isn't eating much during the day so is hungry in the night) and I think she's almost (but not quite) ready to drop down to one nap.
-
Pretty good for the most part. Going to sleep pretty easily around 8pm and waking up around 6:30am. Naps for about 2 hours. I'm just happy the bedtime battles are over, those are so draining!
-
We do not talk about sleep!!
-
Not awesome. She was doing 9-7 with one wakeup for a month, then a week of STTN, all with great napping (putting down awake but drowsy even!). Then it all fell apart right about 14 weeks. She's 16 weeks and it has just continued getting worse. Has to be rocked to sleep for every nap and for bed, and she often melts down while you're rocking her. She's waking up 4, 6, 8 times/night whining and grunting until you put her binky back in, and usually at least 1 (sometimes 3+) times/night she's too upset to go back to sleep and you have to rock her back to sleep. And her wakeup time is anywhere from 5am to 8am. All of this leaving her overtired and cranky during the day, and having more challenging naps wherein she rarely sleeps for more than 30 min without having to rock her back to sleep.

DD is almost 2.5 years old. Her nighttime sleep is (and always has been) just great! She goes down between 7:30 and 8 PM and usually wakes between 7 and 8 AM. Last week she was actually sleeping past 8 most mornings, and one day I had to wake her up to go to daycare at 8:30 in the morning!
Naps are another issue though. She appears to be dropping her one nap. Most days at school last week she did not nap at all. She has figured out that if she doesn't nap and she doesn't act tired, her teachers will let her get out of bed once the other kids go to sleep and read books. She's doing a pretty good job though of lasting until bedtime without getting tired and cranky. I am SO not ready for the nap phase to be over. I need that time on the weekends to catch up on work!

@skibobrown: I read this article the other day, and thought it was a great idea for when LO is done with naps! http://www.everyday-reading.com/2014/06/7-tips-for-toddler-quiet-time.html?m=1
-
Eh. This week he's been waking up around 5:45am which is 45 mins earlier than normal. Still napping and going to bed at the same time, so at least that's good.
-
@Mae: Thank you! That is so useful! We're going to have to do something like that. I think we're also going to have to transition to a toddler bed soon, so DD can get out of bed an read books on her own if she's not tired.
-
DS is 13 months old - he goes to bed at 615 every night and then wakes up around 630 every morning. He takes 1 nap a day around 11ish for an hour and a half.
-
He has been going to bed later thanks to summer. Typically 10 hours at night (845-645) and a 1.5-2 hr nap. Same amount of sleep as he has been getting for about a year. He resists naps a day or two a week but if he refuses I put him in the stroller to get a catnap to get us to bed time (he does poorly on no nap). He has had a few nights of rough bed times which I attribute to 2 year molars ::/. He is 28 months.
-
Crap, thanks for asking...
teething for the millionth time plus separation anxiety plus a cold equals wake ups and sleepy momma.
ETA he's 18 months -
@skibobrown: sounds just like my LO - champion sleeper and and napper until around 2.5 years old when she started to nap every other day, then every couple of days, then maybe about once a week now at almost 2 years 10 months. But she's still a champion night sleeper and we do quiet time during the day so I'm not complaining.
A typical day is 7:00 bedtime and I wake her up at 7:00 for school 3 days a week. So 12 hours on those nights. When she doesn't have school I let her sleep in and sleep until 8:00 so 13 hours those nights. We did have a few freak days where she must have been going through a growth spurt and she slept until 10:00 which was crazy. We did about 1.5 hours of quiet time everyday as well which I need for my sanity since I'm pregnant with baby #2

@mrsjyw: Yikes! I totally forgot about DST.
DS is 18 months and sleep is hit or miss. He is pretty consistent with a 2.5 hour nap. He sleeps about 10.5-11 hours at night. He has been having one or two wake ups. These last few months it has been either sickness or teething and we can't seem to catch a break.
-
DD1--about 11 consecutive hours at night and one one-hour nap, sometimes shorter than that.
DD2--about 13 hours overnight, broken up into 3 hour stretches. She nurses every 3 hours or so then goes right back down. She takes two 1.5 hour naps.
-
My LO is a late teether, and she literally has about 8 teeth coming in right now, including molars, so her beautiful sleep pattern of 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep has been hit or miss lately. Teething also gives her diarrhea, so sometimes she has a dirty diaper in the middle of the night and wakes up screaming. She has 1 wakeup at least a couple of times a week. But it's pretty much always for a reason -she had a dirty diaper or her teeth just hurt her. Sometimes I go in her room and she's standing in the crib with her whole hand in her mouth, touching the back of her gums and crying:(
-
Not great, he's been screaming in the middle of the night, as soon as it starts though, it's over, so I am not sure if it is night terrors or what.
-
@lawbee11: OMG! When did this happen?! YAY!!! So happy for you!!!
DS has been sleeping fairly well, but will occasionally wake up asking for milk! What the heck?! At least he'll go right back to sleep afterwards. Phew!
-
@looch: mine does this. Real blood curdling screams, too.
At 28 months LO is doing well. Sleeps from 8-6:30 and takes a 2 hour nap.
birth to 2yrs sleep was the WORST. She didn't nap at daycare AT ALL until she was 18 months and she didn't sleep through the night until she was 2, so I feel like we have earned this sweet spot
-
We are cutting both top molars at the same time so back to 4:45am wakeups for the last 3 days in a row
She usually gets 12-13 hours overnight and 1 2-2.5 hour nap.
