Having problems with DS napping just after getting night sleep sorted! He's currently only taking 1x 30 minute nap and then gets cranky later in the day. The time he naps varies greatly if we go out but when we're at home he can't last much later than about 11am.
I suspect he's over tired and want to get him into a routine of a regular nap time but just don't know what time to aim for. I'm pregnant with DC2 (due mid Oct) and I'm aware the clocks go back at the end of Oct, I'd really like to 'fix' this before these things because I know they'll mess things up in their own way.
I'm dead against any kind of sleep training that involves leaving him to cry.
If it helps he goes to bed around 7.45 and is almost always asleep after a breastfeed in his cot by 8pm (falls asleep on his own) he's then out until 6.30/7am every night unless unwell so he's having a consistent 11 hours at night. We tried putting him down earlier and it was taking 2 hours to get him to sleep so I don't think that will help.
I am just interested to know when other toddlers have their daytime nap,to see if that makes a difference - what works for you?
