Typical that isn't it *Peaches* bet he would have slept longer wouldn't he if his brother didn't wake him up. Kids eh.

*Peaches* · 22-05-2010, 07:41

Probably til at least 9am but hey ho, he's full of beans at the mo

missflirtuk · 22-05-2010, 07:43

LOL 9am would be great for me =]. Ruby is starting to yawn so I hope she will go to sleep soon and if not it's off for a bounce on the trampoline again

.

*Peaches* · 22-05-2010, 07:44

Ooh trampoline! I don't have one, but mum has a massive one! He loves it when we put him on it

missflirtuk · 22-05-2010, 07:48

LOL it's great I don't have one but we are at her Grandma's and she has 2 young nephews so we all go on it and tire her out it's great =] thinking about taking her to the park to run some energy off as well so all is good, well she is off on the rampage at the minute being general Ruby =[.

*Peaches* · 22-05-2010, 07:59

We live opposite a park so we are kinda lucky in that respect

missflirtuk · 22-05-2010, 08:01

While I am at her grandma's there are 3 parks close by, there is one 2 mins walk away, there is one around 5 mins walk away and one about 30 mins walk I think.

*Peaches* · 22-05-2010, 08:02

Lots of choice then!

missflirtuk · 22-05-2010, 08:09

Yep except I don't know where two of them are alone =]. If I want to go I have to take her 2 uncles who are complete nightmares =[.

Anyone who had these problems find a solution in the end? If so, please share!

My 20 month old son who has previously slept from between 8pm to around 7am with a 1-2 hour afternoon nap has started waking up at around 5am and refusing to go back to sleep again. I'm pregnant with my second and am absolutely exhausted, so desperate to get him back on his normal schedule.

It's not that he doesn't need the sleep - he's definitely been grumpy and prone to tantrums since this started around a week ago - and coping with a screaming toddler when you're exhausted yourself definitely isn't fun!

Have just ordered one of those bedtime training clocks as have read some other forums where this has worked for older kids, but worried that he's a bit young for this. Anyone else tried this approach?

I am certainly no expert on this (my daughter isn't in a great routine) but my h.v told me to cut out my daughters afternoon naps at 2. As your son is 20 months maybee restricting them to 30 minutes?
Obviously it's not always possible to cut them out on certain days or restrict them if your out and about but when you can do and see if it makes a difference.
Good luck x
