i have mindee who is 1, since he has come back from Xmas holiday he doesn't seem as happy as he use to be. He use to sleep from 12:30 till 2 without a problem but now he is so dead tired in the morning but will not sleep, by the time it gets to lunch he is sleeping with his head on the floor. After i put him down to sleep he sleeps for 10 minutes 20 min max then he is awake again. After the 10 min nap he becomes so clingy and grumpy he just crying for the rest of the day.
I have spoken to mom and she says he sleeps fine at night, what can i do to get him to sleep in the afternoons again so he wakes up refreshed and happy like he use to be.

What does his Mum do for his afternoon nap? Has she changed his routine? Has she given him a new comfort object to help him settle back to sleep and not shared it with you?

Sorry can't think of anything else to help.

the only thing i can think of is that when they went away he started taking morning naps and then late afternoon ones but i they were only away for a week so didnt think that that would affect him so badly. Mother has been trying to get him to sleep in afternoon too on the weekends. Doesnt sleep with teddies or dummy.

what does he do at home with mum at weekends?

maybe he is having a growth spurt hence is more tired or teething so isnt sleeping that well
