Schedule for a 17/18 month old?

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone would be happy to share their routine/schedule for a 17/18 month old. DD is 17 months and seems to be going through a shift, wanting more night sleep and a shorter nap. We have landed on something like wake up 6.30, nap 12.45 for up to 1.5 hours, bedtime 7.30. Until very recently though she liked a 2 hour nap and slept 7.30-6.

Thanks :)

Ours is usually roughly:

7.30 wake up
8 breakfast
9 snack in the pram on the way somewhere (this is because he doesn’t eat breakfast!)
9.30-11.30 some kind of playgroup or similar
12 lunch
1-3 nap
3.30 snack
6 dinner
7.30 start bedtime
8.30 sleep

Obviously bar the days where everything goes out the window, eg when we were away from home last month and he started the day at 5am, or one day last week when he mysteriously didn’t nap until 3!

Mine is 16 months

Wake 7am
Nap 12.30-2 (maybe 15 mins +/-)
Bed 8pm

Obviously we start bedtime earlier than that, but normally DC is asleep between 7.45-8pm or a little later if they manage a 2h nap. If we let DC have more than 2h daytime nap I have to keep them up till 8.30pm or we get split nights 😬

Sounds pretty normal, why are you worried?
