Hi, I'm just curious really. Do some babies just not need that much sleep? I've tried every bit of advice and it's made no difference to my nearly 1 year old DS.
He usually has two 20 minute naps a day, around 10 and 2pm. Today I kept him going until 12 in the hope he'd take one longer nap. He woke after 25 mins and is now happily playing. I on the other hand am exhausted...he was awake at 5:41! (Knowing the exact time is always a sign of sleep deprevation in my opinion...every single minute is important )
I just long for a day where he takes a decent block of sleep!
Is mine the only one? For info he's cruising and taking first steps, eats well, no medical issues and settles himself at 7pm (most likely due to utter exhaustion). He wakes at least once in the night and I usually just give him a quick feed (bf).
I think it's time I just accept that he doesn't need to sleep - no idea where he gets it from, I'm on my knees...
