Toddler almost 2 sleeps poorly
mollyj
Hey dear members.
I'm pulling my hair out... My son, almost 22 months old, seems to be sleeping too little...
He usually wakes up between 6 and 7 am. That's not such a big problem, but around 10 am he gets so tired that he really wants to sleep again. We managed to stretch it out for a while, and he would sleep from 12 to 3 pm, then go to bed around 8 pm. That worked really well for a long time, but lately he wakes up at night if he sleeps that long in the afternoon. So now I wake him up after 2 hours of afternoon sleep. That worked well for a while, but now he can't make it through the morning anymore.
This morning he woke up at 6 am, and I just put him to bed at 7:30, and now he's already been asleep for almost an hour.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a phase??

Try letting him sleep a bit more in the morning from 10 to 12, and then again for 1-2 hours in the afternoon when he's tired. It's probably just a phase where he needs a bit more sleep right now.
