I have an almost 18mo DCK that I've posted about before. Sleeps 4:30/5 - 5, and takes two 20 minute naps at home all day. Kid is totally exhausted all day long. Mom puts her down for her first nap before she gets here, then I put her down after lunch fir a Very inconsistent afternoon nap.
The time change has been great for her. Mom still puts her down 5-5, which is now 6-6 which means she doesn't have time for her morning nap before she gets here. With one nap a day, she was sleeping 2.5 hours on Mon and Tue, and honestly, was like a different kid. Alert, inquisitive, energetic. Mom and I talked, and I mentioned it was probably because she was taking one long nap instead of two shorter naps, and that she was overdue to drop it anyway.
She stayed home yesterday because because her mom had a last minute shift change, and mom mentions to me today, that she didn't sleep at all for either her morning OR afternoon naps. WHY ARE YOU STILL PUTTING HER DOWN IN THE MORNING??.?. She's not herE on Fridays, which means 3 straight days at home where she calls all the shots. We had SUCH a great opportunity to get this kid on a schedule that would work better for DCK, me, and her dad, who never gets to see her because she's sleeping by the time he gets home. But mom us just not getting it.![]()
