My daughter is 11 months. She used to have a 2 hour nap in the afternoon but it's such a fight to get her to have it. She will go in the cot and drop off but for max 20 minutes and cries until someone brings her down.

Now with help from mumsnet we managed to get her sleeping in her own room and we settled on bedtime at 6 pm..she was happily doing 6pm tull 6 30 am. No bother. She's been going to bed the last few nights at 5pm. We've tried to keep her awake but she's gone. And shes sleeping till half six am. The first night she fell asleep in her highchair so we took her upstairs thinking she might need a power nap but she slept thru.

Shes not poorly in herself and her behaviour is absolutely fine and normal..not eating as much but putting it down to the weather.

Should I be concerned or is she just tired?

I don't think you need to be concerned. Am I right in saying she sleeps for 13.5 hours at night but only 20 mins nap (or no nap)? It's unusual, but the total amount of sleep sounds right for her age, she's just choosing to have it all in one go rather than overnight plus a nap. I don't see a problem with that.

@Stepleddertoheaven yeah she has at most 20 minute nap. Weve tried everything to get her to nap. Different times. Different locations. In the pram. In the sling. Its like she has a 20 minute timer and then she's up. She's always on the go. Been in the pool for most of today. She sleeps straight thru. Occasionally let's out a cry when changing position or when we flush the toilet but straight thru

Sorry to keep asking but shes really sleepy at ten to 5 ready for her bedtime bottle and shes falling asleep. Is it the heat? Shes still acting normal
