Thanks Nicole, yeah I still count it as part of her night sleep really, we don't call it "morning time".

Her day sleeps aren't great although are getting better, usually 40mins-1 hour around 11.00am and then a 30 minute nap in the afternoon (unless she's in her buggy and she can sleep for 1-2 hours).

I tried to drop that early morning nap to see if it improved her day naps but it made no difference so went back to putting her back to bed. At least then I could get some work done or get a shower in!! At one point she was only sleeping 20 minutes all day so its definitely better. Sorry, getting off topic here!!]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 11:51:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229567&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229567 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229558&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229558 Author: High9

Actually, re reading your post, seeing as she doesn't really seem to get up I'd still count it as part of her night sleep tbh, that's what I do with Lily, if she goes back to sleep.

Can she handle being up at that time without the feed (if she feeds over night I guess?) or..?

Sorry probably doesn't make sense! ]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 11:40:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229558&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229558 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229556&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229556 Author: High9

How many naps a day is she having? And what's her afternoon nap like?

Lily tends to get up about 6-7am and is up for 3 hours (max) or 2.5 (min) has a nap of 2 hours then is up for about 3-4hours and has another 2 hour nap in the after noon and bed is 7-8.30pm.

However... Sometimes I can keep Lily up for that first nap by an extra 2 hours so say she gets up at 7 - rather than having a nap at 10 I can save it until about 12 (1pm latest) and she'll sleep about 3 hours...

So for me, I would just keep her up and she would take her nap later if that makes sense...]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 11:39:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229556&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229556 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37269&PID=1229550&title=morning-sleep-time-to-drop-it#1229550 Author: Millyz

Hi all

I'm looking for some advice here. My 10 month old bubs is starting daycare (two times a week) in about 4 weeks. At the moment she wakes anywhere between 5.45am and 7.00am, she gets a bottle or a breastfeed then goes back to bed for about fourty five minutes to an hour. She still seems to need this nap and almost always goes back to sleep very easily.

However we start two days per week of daycare soon and we will need to leave the house by 7.15am on those days. Do I start dropping that morning nap and just keep her up or do I carry on as normal and just try to keep her up on her "daycare days" and she can nap in the car on the way in?

I want to do what is best for Lizzie, not me. Is she too old now for that nap? Although that morning nap is handy for getting things done - exercise, showering etc!!!

Any advice gratefully accepted!!
