Sleeping FAQ: 12-18 Months – Night Waking
My 13mth daughter has recently dropped her morning nap, she has now begun to wake in the late evening and become very distressed. I was wondering whether there were any associations between dropping the morning nap and coming into light sleep at 11pm. My 13m girl who, apart from a cry-down before she goes to sleep, has always been a good sleeper and has to be woken from most naps and in the mornings, has for the last month or so, fought or had just 10minute morning nap, followed by a proper nap of 1 1/2hr at 1/1.30pm. Within the last week she has not napped at all in the…

Sleeping FAQ: 12-18 Months – Night Waking
My daughter who is just 1 year old had slept through the night until nearly nine months. Since then she has had various illnesses. During these she started to wake in the night and needed a milk feed to settle her. Now she is waking three times every night and will only settle once she has had milk despite eating well in the day. I wonder if she has started to have night terrors as for the last two weeks she wakes every night at exactly 9.50pm. It can take an hour to settle her at this time. She has just started to walk so, thinking this first waking was…

Sleeping FAQ: 12-18 Months – Lunchtime Nap
My 1 year old daughter has started to fight going down for her daytime nap on the days when I care for her. My 1 year old daughter has always been a CLB, following the routine to the letter. We started having a nanny 1 day a week 2 months ago and the nursery for 2 days a week one month ago (we have to do this until we get the full 3 days in the nursery in a couple of months time). She adjusted immediately without much separation anxiety (at least not displayed) and has her usual lunchtime nap from about noon to 2pm with the nanny as well…

Sleeping FAQ: 12-18 Months – Lunchtime Nap
My son is only 17 months old but doesn’t seem to need daytime sleep. My son, Oliver, is 17 months old and weighs 11 kilos. He truly is a contented baby and has slept through the night since he was 5 weeks old. He has an excellent appetite and eats a wide range of food. We follow a mostly organic diet and use a number of the recipes from your weaning book – thank you Gina for all the great advice in your books. I am a working mum and Oliver spends the day with our nanny, Jill, and they have a excellent relationship. Jill follows the same routine as…

Sleeping FAQ: 9-12 Months – Other
How can I keep my 10-month-old awake late once a week? I really need to know how to rearrange the routines for my 10-month-old baby. Once a week my hubby and I go to a religious meeting in the evening between 7-9pm. Normally the baby falls asleep on the way but as she’s getting older it’s getting harder and harder to keep her asleep. We usually put her in the car seat, she falls asleep on the way there and then we put the car seat on the pram and leave her at the back where she sleeps peacefully till we get home and transfer her to bed. As she’s…

Sleeping FAQ: 9-12 Months – Daytime Sleep
My 10 month old wakes early and doesn’t always settle at lunchtime My son is now just over 10 months old and I am considering dropping his morning nap as he takes a while to settle, doesn’t always sleep for 2 hours in the afternoon and is often awake and playing at 6am. Would this be the thing to do? Also how do I manage his routine when British winter time kicks in at the end of October? That means we gain an hour in the morning. Do I ignore this change and continue things with the new times or do I make some sort of adjustment? Your son may…

When at nursery my 11mth daughter only sleeps 45minutes at lunchtime.

Sleeping FAQ: 9-12 Months – Daytime Sleep
At what age can a 10 month baby drop the morning nap? My 10mth old baby has started to fight his morning sleep and I would appreciate guidance on what age he can drop it. He currently wakes about 7 – 7.30am and I put him down about 9.45am (I’ve pushed the routine back by 30 minutes). Some days he’ll cry for 10mins and sleep and other days he will not settle unless I rock him to sleep on me. As I want to put him down for his lunchtime sleep about 1pm (to fit in with play group pick up) I haven’t let him go all morning without a…

My 9.5mth son has started to scream when put down in his cot and is waking in the night, unable to settle again My son for the last two weeks has been crying and screaming every time I put him in his cot. He has moaned in the past but settled himself. Only on occasions would I need to go in to quieten him by turning him on his side, readjusting blankets and then leave. He has never been a crying baby and to now have him screaming with tears and sobbing is distressing. It started with one or two naps (can’t remember exactly which ones) and now it’s every…

Sleeping FAQ: 9-12 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
I am concerned how my 10mth daughter will cope with her daytime naps when we are on holiday My 10mth daughter loves the routines and has slept through the night since a very young age. She is a very contented baby through the day. The problem I have is that she will not easily fall asleep in my arms or in the pushchair, although she will sleep in the car. We are going on holiday soon and I am worrying how I am going to get her to sleep during the day. The flight is only 4 hours but the whole journey will take all day. In the past when…
