So i'm going to ask this here because I really don't want to start a new topic.
My son is a horrible sleeper. When he gets up in the morning he stays up for a little bit then takes about a 2 hour nap after that hes up until about 1 then he wants to nap again he will sleep until about 3. But then when night comes he won't sleep until about midnight to one in the morning! then when he does fall asleep he wakes up at about 5 and won't go back to sleep until 9.
Does anyone elses kid seem to run on no sleep? And I've tried to skip his 1 o'clock nap but then he can only make it until 6 and then hes back awake by 10.
My LO wakes at 6ish and is napping around 8. Then again at 1. She doesn't always take 2 hour naps but usually does 1 to 1 1/2. She goes to bed at 7.
We have been dealing with super early wakeups but I'm hoping we have turned the corner. 5 am is uncool.
I would think that your LO is overtired and then can't go to sleep until much later. I would suggest starting bedtime around 6:30 and having a good routine so he can pick up on the sleep cues. GL!
psychobutthead V rarely naps more than 45 minutes, and that is usually twice a day, but occasionally only once a day. He goes to bed at 830 and wakes up between 630 and 730. But he still wakes up three or more times a night. I can tell when he is tired, but usually that is right before nap or bedtime, not after. I just figured he is good on less sleep than I know other babies get.
Eta missed the part about him not going to bed till midnight. Ouch, that is rough! Do you have a routine that you do for bedtime? Does he start acting tired before midnight or is he happy and content until 11,12 o'clock?
DS turned 10 months on January 1, but isn't standing by himself yet. Anyone else have non-standing babies? I get worried when I see all the other F15 babies that are walking, whereas DS is perfectly happy just cruising along the furniture.
My DS is just a day younger than yours and can really only stand by holding onto something. He's let go a few times and was able to last a couple seconds before falling over. He is an expert cruiser, though. I'm sure it will happen soon enough and I'm not worried at all.

Mine is 11+ months and barely standing at all. She'll stand up while holding onto our legs when we are sitting on the floor and sometimes on the fireplace but that's it. Then she's afraid to sit back down. I'm okay with it. She'll be running around with her sister before long - gulp!!
DS is going on 11 months and cruises or walks by pushing things along, but can't stand or walk on his own. But he didn't do full crawling until the day before he turned 9 months, so I'm not worried. He'll figure it out and terrorize me some more when he's ready.
@pyschobutthead I would try changing your bedtime routine and encourage LO to go to bed earlier. You may get more wake-ups at night, but in terms of night sleep there seems to be truth in the idea that sleep begets sleep.
DS is usually asleep by 7pm. Bedtime routine starts at about 6 unless he's showing signs of wanting to sleep earlier. We're down to one wakeup around 3am which unfortunately lasts an hour to an hour and a half before he's back asleep in his bed (longer wake-ups involve a lot of walking and singing because he wants cuddles). Need to soothe about 45 minutes later and he's up at about 6-6:30 am. Nap around 8-9. 8am nap is usually short like 20 minutes and leads to a fractured 10 am nap. Second nap around 2. Still have trouble getting him to nap in the crib. I let him nap on me just to get sleep in or we go for a walk to get him to sleep.

Wait we have twinsies? R is 3/1/15 baby. Am I mom braining and knew this??
Lol I didn't know that, but I guess I should have since it's in your siggy!

F turned 11 months yesterday and only just mastered standing up from crawling and cruising. It used to bother me but now that he is moving everywhere I'm missing the days of plopping him down and not worrying what he'd get into.
Right? Diaper changes were SO much easier! Now C takes off nekkid down the hallway. And the kid is FAST.

Little Man is starting to get braver and let go but he always grabs right back on. I know it will happen in his own time, but sometimes I still worry.
