My 23 month old used to take a morning nap around 10:30/11:00 for a couple of hours and go to sleep at night between 6:00-7:00 at night. Recently she is not tired in the morning and does not fall asleep until about 1:00 pm and then sleeps a couple of hours until 3:00 pm. She won't fall asleep at night until close to 9:00 or even later. I try to put her to bed at 8:00 and she isn't tired enough to sleep.
She needs a nap and won't go in earlier but going to take a nap later in the day keeps her up too late. What time does your toddler nap (morning -before 12pm- or afternoon-after 12pm). What time is bedtime?

thanks

Most toddlers older than 18 months nap in the afternoon. Maybe try moving her nap up to 12 and don't let her sleep longer than 2 hrs. I have the same problem- my two and a half year old is in playgroup till one and naps from about 130-330. He usually goes to sleep for the night around 830-9 and gets up at 6-630ish. I think he could use more sleep at night and wakes up kinda cranky but it's hard to get him to sleep earlier...

My 20 month old naps from 11:30-1 (or 12:30-1:30), and goes to sleep at 7:30. Lately he's been waking up at 6:15, but he really needs more sleep.

Now, during vacation, he goes to nap around 11, since he wakes up at 6am and goes to bed at 7pm, but when it's not vacation, he takes his nap after playgroup, that finishes at 1 pm, but I don't let him sleep past 3, so he should be tired in the evening again.

When he naps it is in the afternoon usually anytime from 12-2 and I wake him by 4 latest (except on Shabbs when I want to sleep too).

He then goes to bed by 730pm. If he slept more than an hour he doesn't fall asleep till 9 ish but I make him stay in bed.

DS is 24 months. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7. Naps from 1 to 3 till 4. Goes to bed between 7:30 and 8 depending on when he woke from his nap.

My DD is 24 mo, she wakes up usually between 7 and 8, then I put her in (depending on the day) any time from 10:30 till 12 and she naps usually for about 1.5-2 hours. I put her to sleep between 6 and 6:45. More recently we've been skipping naps a couple times a week to get her used to playgroup starting next week...

Each kid is completely different, though, and needs a diff schedule or amount of sleep....

Hatzlacha!
