I have a new 13 month old girl that has been in my care for 2 weeks now. She sleeps from 5-5 everyday, and has 1 - 2 naps per day. Each nap is only 25 minutes long (she;s in her pnp for 40min before she wakes up, but parents requested she go to bed with a bottle, and it takes her 15 minutes to finish it (I've watched her)). She woke up a little later today, so mom said just one nap. She was upstairs for about 30 minutes before she woke up, and she's been upstairs talking to herself with the occasional cry for the last hour. Is her 5:00 bed time messing up her naps during the day?? I've never heard of a baby going to bed that early consistently. Luckily, she was ok staying in her pnp for the duration of nap time today, but most days she isn't. I try to keep her in there as long as I can, but it's usually about 1.5 hours. Can I tell her mom to try keeping her up a little later to help me out during the day??
