So with that in mind, it's always important to fix night sleep issues before you try to
shift nap schedules.
Not exact matches
You may be able to use baby's patterns to
shift a
nap or a feeding session to ease your
schedule a bit.
Typically, babies
shift to a one -
nap schedule somewhere between 15 — 18 months of age.
If you go this route, try to be as consistent as possible with your baby's food and sleep
schedule, meaning that you will need to
shift their
naps and meals later by half an hour as well (so if your baby normally
naps at 1:00 p.m., then put them down for their
nap at 1:30 p.m. after the time change while baby is transitioning).
From that moment on,
shift your child's
nap and bedtimes to about 45 minutes earlier than his / her regular
schedule.
Waking Early From
Naps / Won't Fall Asleep For
Naps: http://babywisemom.blogspot.com/2008/01/waking-early-from-napswont-fall-asleep.html For preschool thing, I would either try to
shift the
schedule every day to work for that, or just realize that disruptions are going to happen twice a week and accept it and work with it the best you can.
For example, simple
shifts of 1/2 hour in
nap or bedtime from week to week may help her get onto a more normal
schedule.
