Looking for some advice. My ds has never been a good sleeper but had got better by about 6 months and was taking 2 good naps a day plus down to only one night waking. He used to do:
wake at 8 am
nap 10am 1.5 hrs
nap 3pm - 1 hr
bed - 8pm
Lately he has started fighting sleep day and night so now won't take a nap until he is literally exhausted (usually about lunchtime) and I feed him to sleep, he was previously able to self settle. Which means that either he will not eat lunch because he is too tired or I have to give him lunch really late which then impacts on his dinner.
He is also waking really frequently at night. Last night he went down at 8 woke at 9, 11, 1 and 4. It took between 1 - 1.5 hrs to settle him each time.
I think maybe he is dropping his morning nap but if that is the case I am not sure what time he should be having the nap in the day as he seems really tired all morning. And he also then has a really long time awake before bed.
Any advice would be really appreciated as I really want to try to sort his routine out before he starts nursery in 3 weeks. As they want to know what his routine is and at the moment I don't even know! thank you.
