17 month old toddler- Sleep issues? Is this normal???

[DC1stTimeMummy]

Hello, I wanted to ask the following about my toddler who will be 17 months this week:

1. He wakes around 6-6:30am, has his lunch at 11:30am & then nap at 12am-2pm (aim for this duration) & bed for 7-7:30pm. Are these timings okay for his age?

1. We have noticed he doesn’t nap for 2 hours for his lunchtime nap. It can vary from 1h/ 1.5h & sometimes but rarely 2h. We don’t try to resettle him if he wakes early & will take him out of this cot. Is this okay?

1. We have been using anbesol teething gel & Calpol for about 2 months now as he is teething a lot. We anbesol him before his nap & before bed & Calpol is before bed. If he wakes in the middle of the night (which he does at times), we will anbesol & Calpol him then too. Is this too often or is it okay to have been using it this regularly?

1. On some days my toddler is waking in the middle of the night & it takes up to 3 hours to put him to bed. We think this may be linked to teething as he is getting his molars through. We do need to hold him or he screams when put down. Is this normal?

1. Are there experiences of middle of the night wakes & being awake for a long duration of time when toddlers are teething at all? I have a feeling my toddler's middle of the night wakings is forming a habit now?

1. We sometimes let my toddler have an extra hour of sleep in the morning if he hasn't had a good night & its taken a long time to put him to sleep. Is this okay or is it best to wake him at the same time everyday?

Hope to hear back from those who have experienced or experiencing the same as me!?

1. Fine
2. Some toddlers need less sleep than others and less sleep on certain days. Same as on some days or meals they will eat and at other times they won' eat.
3. Try not to use them every day use only when he's in pain.
4. Normal he wants you to comfort him. I co-slept so I could get some sleep.
5. Maybe you will soon find out as every child is different.
6. I didn't as mine was in childcare 3 days per week. What would happen on the other days is she would then actually sleep her full nap time and through at night.
