Do you alter the bedtime of your toddler when they nap later than usual?
I put my daughter in her cot at 1pm as usual today. She knows that when she goes in her cot she's not getting out until she's slept, as I alwasy do it that way. Except recently she's been fighting it. Today she was awake for an hour before finally sleeping. She's not angry, she's just awake.
Ayway, she usually sleeps at 1pm, but today she didn't sleep until gone 2pm, and decided to sleep for ages, so I had to go and wake her at 4:20pm
Her usual bedtime is 7pm, but I don't think there would be any point putting her to bed at 7pm tonight as she will have only been up 2.5 hours. In the afternoon she's usually up for 4 hours before she sleeps again.
What would you do? If you keep bedtime the same, do you find it still works? I love my LO to bits, but I need time to myself at the end of the day, so I get annoyed when I've put her down for a nap as usual and she's fought it so much that it cuts into the time I have for myself in the evening.
