My 14month old DD has suddenly started majorly resisting sleep at night. Is this normal?
Her naps vary a bit but she's increasingly moved to 1 nap over the last couple of months. This can range from 1.5/2 hours to 40mins. She'd have average wake window of about 5ish hours (so earlier bed if a shorter nap etc), but rarely grumpy by bedtime, surprisingly fine even if a short nap day. Generally a short nap would mean a quicker bedtime and better sleep at night.
However since last week she has suddenly been resisting everything. One day she had no nap (first time ever). Every night she's been resisting sleep for ages - today she woke from nap at 1.30 , was ready for bed at 7/7.15 but then just refused to sleep til 9.15. Argh.
She's not walking yet but is loving standing on everything and climbing. There's also a lot more vocalisation going on. Is this normal development? Will it get better? I've heard 18 months is bad for sleep but will it be bad from now on...
For info we co sleep and breastfeed. I feed to sleep but this is also starting not to work, she just gets up and wants to move, and finally collapses..
