Up All Night


Elijah has regressed in his sleeping patterns.  For the past week, it has been difficult getting him to bed (sometimes as late as 10pm) and then he will wake up around 3 or 4 am crying.  It is difficult to get him back to sleep.  I don’t know if it is the new environment or the new feeding schedule (with more grown-up foods) that has caused the sudden change. 

I have been reading my Toddler 411 book and “What to Expect” The Second Year to find suggestions for how many hours a toddler should be sleeping and a typical pattern.  According to 411, a 15-month old (note: Eli is almost 14 months) should sleep about 13 hours a day.  He is still taking 2 naps (like the schedule in 411 shows) but bedtime at 7:30pm has not been occurring this past week or so since we’ve moved.  I suppose we will see once we get into a routine at the new house whether things return to normal.
