My 10 month old DD sleeps pretty well at night normally up once through night for bottle, we're fine with this as she's always been little and often for feeds and the night feed bumps up her milk intake. She used to wake for the day between 5am and 6am with her night feed happening around 2am.
She now wakes 4-5am for bottle then has actually slept again until 7-7:30am twice now! I feel like a new woman with those extra few wee hours sleep!
Anyway, advice I'm looking for is what to do about naps. She's always had shorter naps and has had 2 naps a day for months now. She's also always typically had long awake times between sleeps too but now with the later wake ups she's not falling asleep until 11-12 midday then having anything from 30-60 mins. She used to nap between 2-3pm after a few false starts but now isn't ready for a sleep until about 4-5ish BUT she gets her bath and bed at 6-7pm so I'm not keen on that! She really needs a good 3-4 hours awake time otherwise she struggles to go to sleep at night.
Is it ok to just let her have that one bigger sleep in middle of the day? I feel she's too young for just one nap but she seems to cope ok the few times it happened so far and in fact has slept longer and sounder at night.
For background info she naps in sling or falls asleep on us during day, always has done and we're not fussy about changing that as she's great in her cot at night. I always make sure i create opportunities for her to sleep whenever I see her tired e.g pop her in the sling and go for a walk which always sends her to sleep if she needs it!
Anyone else experiencing similarly huge awake times or any advice for me?
