Well here goes...
1) DS still does not have a regular wake time at 17 months old, is this normal? How do i get his to wake at a regular time?
He can wake anywhere between 5 and half 6. This effects his daytime sleep as if he is up at 5am then he will be zonked out by 12pm and will sleep till 2pm.But then he is up for 5 hours before bed and he is so tired and cranky.
2)How do i get DS to sleep later in the am?
No matter what time he goes to bed he will still be up between 5 and 6:30. I am expecting baby number 2 and could really do with getting him to sleep later in the morning.
3) Too young for time out?
When DS doesnt get his own way he'll headbutt the wall, the floor, throw himself about, smack me, smack himself everything. Today we was at a playgroup and a little boy walked into DS accidentally and DS smacked him in the face with both hands!!! I was so shocked i know he does this at home but i never thought he would do it to another child. So i apologised to this little boy and put DS on a play mat and told him he was naughty and to sit there until i get him, so i left him for maybe 30 seconds and went back to see him (he cried the whole time he was sat there and he hadnt moved at all) and i told him he could go and play but he had to be nice and he was fine after that. I gotta nip this behaviour in the bud because it seems to already be getting out of hand.
4) How can i extend his attention span?
His attention span is absolute pants! He wil only play with something for a minute or 2 until he is bored and will move on from it. This makes staying in the house very hard.
5)Why wont he eat breakfast?
For ages DS has not been eating breakfast so i gave up his morning bottle but yet he still didnt eat it, so i have put it back later but he is too hungry to wait for it.. And if i manage to get him eating it he will nibble at it and then want to get down. His breakfast is literally 1/4 slice of toast and maybe a few grapes or raisins. This then leads to his getting down from the table and wanting to snack all morning due to the fact he's not eaten a proper breakfast.
So sorry it is sooo long!! Hope you can all help me, i'm like majorly desperate!!
