I'm wondering when everyone puts their toddler to bed? We just had - for the 2nd time in four weeks - DS sleep through the night! However, he was awful to get to sleep. We generally start bedtime at 7:30, meaning changing into pjs, book, songs etc. with him falling asleep about 8:30. Then, he wakes up 1-3 times a night (generally one) and gets up at 7:30. Last night, he fought us on sleeping (let us just say it was really horrible with a lot of crying and DH and I taking turns) and fell asleep about 9:30. He woke up at 6:30 with no night wakings. DH had quiet time in his room with him until 7:30. The last time he slept through the night he woke up about the same time. I can't remember when we got him to sleep (perhaps if it happened with more regularity, I would remember). He takes an 1 1/2 nap per day (+ or - 1/2 hour). We're considering starting bedtime later (assuming perhaps he's a bad sleeper because he needs less sleep) but I'm concerned that it's a bad decision.
Any thoughts? TIA,
