bedtime for my toddler

[Anonymous]

OK my almost 15 mo old bedtime was 8 p.m. but lately he is refusing to go to sleep that early, and whenever he goes to sleeps at that time he’ll wake up several times during the night and even sometimes cries or screams furiously until i take him to our bed…….. But, when he goes to sleep at a later hour ( I’m talking about 10 or 11 p.m.) he will sleep pacefully not wake up during the night and get up still at the same hour in the morning (between 7:30 or 8:30a.m. )

He still takes a noon nap of 2 hrs between 11a.m. and 2p.m. and when he doesnt take it he will be very tired and wanting to go to bed at 7 p.m. (confusing schedule)

So!!! i was wondering if moving his bedtime will be a good idea at least an hour i mean putting him to sleep at 9 p.m.

what do you say????

You might want to try putting him down at 9. He might not need quite as much sleep now. Alex has been on a pretty regular schedule since about 13 months. She naps for about 2 hours (usually 12:30 – 2:30), goes to bed around 8 and gets up around 7. That gives her about 11 hours at night plus 2 hours of nap for a total of 13 hours.

If you do 9 pm to about 8 am and a 2 hour nap, that would also be about 13 hours.
