My 2 year old currently goes to bed at around 9pm but can take up to an hour to fall asleep, she has an hour nap in the afternoon at 1.30pm after her lunch and she wakes up at 8am, her bedtime routine is a bath at 6 or 7pm, snack (whatever she fancies, nothing sugary), some sleepy cartoons on baby tv which she loves then a story and i say goodnight switch the lamp off and close the door, i do have to wait outside because she shouts for me and i quietly whisper 'shh its ok im still here' a few times and shes fine, i do hear her fussing and banging her hand on her mattress but its always to keep herself awake, ive tried cutting out her nap but she fell asleep eating her dinner and would wake up all through the night screaming, shes starting playgroup soon and i need her to wake up early enough so she can have breakfast, get dressed and be ready to leave by 9am, she always takes ages to eat breakfast
