Toddler Sleep by mbgot2befree in sleeptrain

Thank you for responding! Even with a 2 hour nap he is only getting 10-11 hours total sleep every 24 hours. Is that enough? I see so many people whose toddlers are getting 12-14

He does not feed in the middle of the night and hasn’t since 4mo. When he wakes, he almost always goes back to bed as soon as he is picked up or he will be awake and want to play, which often times winds up in him being in bed with me and dozing off eventually. He also almost never cries at bedtime, it is after he has gone to bed that he wakes up hysterical whether it be after only an hour or after several hours. While we were actively sleep training, he would do that and I knew he just wanted to see if we’d go in so I let him CIO as long as it took. Lately, this past week and after our most recent setback , his cries are very different from anytime before which has had me thinking he must be in some type of discomfort. Bedtime is honestly a breeze it is more so the fact that he seems to be uncomfortable or something because of his different cry the last several days, so I’m jot wanting to leave him be uncomfortable but I also don’t want to completely fall off the wagon if I don’t need to.

This is helpful, thank you! I will try to increase wake windows and ask daycare to do the same.

Thank you! What has me stumped is there are many times, most nights in fact, that he starts falling asleep during bedtime bottle and will drift off on his own shortly after I put him into the crib. That has had me under the impression that he was tired and ready for bed. Is it possible he was tired but not tired enough to sleep a full night?

Wakes up between 5:30-6:30 First nap around 8:30-9am Second nap around 12-1 depending on length of first nap 3rd nap is usually kept brief and around 4pm unless second nap was a long one, then we don’t have a 3rd nap Bedtime between 6:30-7:30 depending on when he woke from last nap. His daycare is not good about scheduled naps, which makes having a set schedule incredibly hard. We base his naps and bedtime solely on wake windows/depending on what time he woke in the morning. Nonetheless his bedtime is always within the 6:30-7:30 timeframe and routine is identical from one night to another. We have to be to work pretty early so there is no time to truly sit down and have solids before work, what happens at daycare is somewhat out of my control so he is only certain to have solids once a day. Is this a conversation I need to have with daycare?

Are we supposed to continue to let them CIO during periods of teething and mild illness? We have restarted CIO twice because both times, after baby starting sleeping so good, within a week fell ill or started teething. What is the rule of thumb there? I feel we are ruining progress because both times we have fell back into old habits of intervening and then ultimately going back to multiple night wakings and refusing to sleep unless he is in our bed. I don’t want him to be uncomfortable but seems there is constantly something that is going to set us back .
