Not sure if I should be posting here or in the sleep thread?
My DD (2) is an early riser (between 5 and 5.30, sometimes earlier) and when at home is ready for a nap by 10.30/11am. At nursery, they don't have their nap until 12.15, after lunch. DD generally lasts because she is a bit of a duracell bunny and keeps going if distracted, but she isn't eating her lunch and I suspect (from similar episodes at home) it's because she is too tired. Nursery offer her lunch again once she has woken from her nap, but she rarely takes it, possibly because she takes about 20 mins before she's interested in food after waking up.
At night, she goes to sleep by 7pm and we've tried all sorts of things to get her to sleep longer, but to no avail. She also has silent reflux, so some nights she wakes several times if the meds aren't doing their job, yet will still keep going until the afternoon nap but is a mess when I pick her up.
Anyone else had this, or have any suggestions to improve things?
