Changed sleep pattern

[LiamsMum]

My 22 month old ds has always slept quite a lot, for a long time his usual pattern was about 12 hrs at night and 2.5 - 3 hours during the day. Almost overnight he changed to sleeping 11 hrs at night and only 1.5 hrs during the day. I know it's not major, but does their sleeping pattern normally change so abruptly? I notice that he still seems to be a bit tired through the day but won't sleep for any longer.

Not much advice but I can offer support
He is still sleeping a lot anyway. If his night sleep were to drop more I'd be "annoyed" but 1h30 at lunchtime is a reasonable nap for an almost 2 year old.

Blimey, you lucky thing to have had all that sleep! What he's doing now is my 2nd dds normal pattern if I"m lucky. i wouldn't worry, he's probably just growing up, unless there's anything different going on that could be affecting him.
I'd make the most of it while you can, in a few months he'll probably stop the daytime naps altogether!!!

Batey, just what I didn't want to hear!! I think I've just gotten used to having a decent amount of time to myself during the day and now I'm not getting a lot done!! I realise he's getting older but it just happened so fast. Losing that daytime nap would certainly be a bummer. Thanks anyway...

I too dreaded when my 1st dd would stop her nap. But it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, in fact, in some ways I preferred it as I didn't have to plan around it if we were out, and we could start the afternoons activity earlier and do it for longer or be home earlier. My 1st dd was 2 1/2 when she just refused to settle and would get up straight away, 2nd dd is still doing it at 2 and 1m. I love her sleep time as it gives me and the big girl "cuddle time!" As for "jobs" you just adapt to doing things with them or in the evening, or get dh to take them out! All the best.
