 Topic: Dropping day sleep
Posted: 18 August 2007 at 9:47pm |
I think Hannah is now dropping her day sleep for good. Just wondering when your kids did this? And did you do anything different, ie different things together (or by themselves) instead of that sleep time? or change of bedtime at night?
I think I'm really struggling with not having "me" time at a set time every day. I knew it would come, and most of the time Kryssi's awake when B&H have been sleeping anyway, but the mental exhaustion has been a bit more than usual lately.

Aww, busymum, I wish I could help you -- Emma Rose has dropped one of her day sleeps and it's bad enough. I have no experience in this area, so hopefully some of our other mums can give you their thoughts. Hugs!

Jake dropped his just after turning two. He had been going to bed at 7:30, but now always goes to bed between 6:30 and 7. When taine sleeps (or should I say, is supposed to be sleeping) we have "quiet time" where Jake watches a dvd on the couch with his duvet and pillow. a couple of times he has fallen asleep there, but not often. I think from recall we also moved dinner time....we started having afternoon tea as well. the dvd time was good as gave me some "me" time too.

wow your lucky she been having a day sleep for so long. i dont think gabriel has been having them for at least a year, and half the time toby doesnt even have one.
it can be hard at the end of the day but i didnt do anything different except maybe give them more food to stave off the grumpy time.

Ella dropped hers about 9 months ago.
She does go to bed about an hour earlier now. I also try to have quiet time when Benjy sleeps in the afternoon, reading books or watching a dvd. Just to give me that time out and break from demands!

Andre still has his every now and then. When he is at home he has to have a rest on his bed he usually reads books but he knows that he has to stay in his bed. Sometimes he will fall asleep but if he doesn't its not that bad we just make sure he goes to bed early.

jack dropped his about 4-5mths ago.
instead of a sleep he watches a dvd also which gives me abit of time to myself.
he has a couple of hours sleep every so often when he gets really tired and grumpy.
