Did your toddler start to sleep later at 17 months?

Question

.

My 17 month old son used to wake around 6:30 or 7:00. Lately he'll wake at the same time and then fall back asleep for a couple more hours. Just wondering if this is "normal"?

Answer 1

It's probably normal enough, my son would wake around 6.30 or 7.00 normally but on a dark morning he would wake up and then drift off again, other mornings he would either cry until we went and got him or he would just lie there and make wee humming type noises!

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Babies sleep A LOT. Remember, this is when they're growing the fastest and they need their sleep.

Answer 3

That is so funny because my 16 and 1/2 month old JUST started to sleep later too, in the past 2 weeks or so.  He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8 Pm and has been sleeping until about 8 Am.  

It has been heaven.  

I have noticed that he is taking a bit longer to fall asleep at night -  I can hear him singing or babbling for about 20 minutes whereas he used to just drop right off to sleep.  

Rejoice and enjoy now because it all could change :0
