Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / September 200816 month old & cosleeping
I'm wondering if our son isn't getting a solid night's rest since he cosleeps? Our DS has been cosleeping with us from the beginning. I snore though I lay face away so its not so bad, and it's not always a chainsaw snore every night. He goes to bed around 7PM and wakes up around 6AM. When he wakes up he's ready to go. Eats breakfast, everything. But he needs a nap around 9/10AM, 3 hours later. Whether at daycare or at home. He also gets a nap after lunch and before dinner, about 1 hr or so. Is that morning nap a sign he's not sleeping well? Or is it normal? Or is it just our son and all babies are different. Thanks! Hi -- Two naps a day are normal at 16 months. He's likely to transition to one nap a day in the next few months ... a difficult transition! He may continue to take one nap a day for several more years ... or not. (One of my kids eliminated naps completely well before his 3rd birthday; the other needed naps right into the first part of kindergarten, age 5.) --Beth Kevles bethkevles@gmail.PUT-THE-COM-HERE http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

Some babies grow out of morning naps by around a year of age, but it's perfectly normal for some to continue a morning nap for longer.

Or is it normal? Or > is it just our son and all babies are different. At 16 months: #1 slept 12 hours at night (8:30-8:30) and 2-3hours in the afternoon. (2:00-5:00) #2 slept about 10 hours at night (9:30-7:30)with about 2 wakings and 2x 1 hour naps during the day. (at about 11am and 3pm) #3 (at present-15 months) sleeps 12 hours at night (7:30-7:30) with about 1-2 wakings and about a 2 hour sleep round late morning. (11:00-1:00) Debbie |
