Hi all,
So my 18 month old (who was 2 months prem) seems constantly tired throughout the day! She has recently started sleeping through for the most part which is great but she is still tired and cranky in the day.
She wakes up at 5:30/6am has a good daytime routine and goes for a nap at 11/12 for 1.5 hours. (Used to be 2 hours at nursery but since lockdown it’s reduced). We have tried 2 naps but recently she wouldn’t go down again meaning she was then awake since 9:15am till bed. We try early nights (bath at 6pm then bed) and she just lies in her cot not going to sleep but not crying loads till after 7 sometimes closer to 8pm. The only issue is it’s light outside we have a blackout blind but still letting in some light.
She won’t sleep longer in the morning, she won’t do 2 naps, she won’t nap longer and she won’t go to sleep earlier at night. It’s driving me mad as she is yawning within a couple of hours of wakening up & grumpy throughout day!
Any help be much appreciated!
Thanks x
