DD just won't have it (if I wake her too early, she screams until I feed her, at which point she falls asleep again). <BR/><BR/>As for naps, does your little one take a good afternoon nap too? If so, expect that morning nap to shorten over the next few months (most kids are done with it between 12-18 months). But you're right - anything and everything can and does throw off their sleep schedule!

But I try to puch it anyway. I just let my little one wake up and eat when ready.

Kids thrive on routine. There will always be things to throw it off but being at home you have the advantage. <BR/>Just figure out when she needs a nap & stick w/it the best you can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
