Answer 1

Hi.  I have a 20 month old. I know sorta what your going through.  What  I would do is when she lays down for her nap during the day, dont let her sleep until 5.  I know its hard to have to wake her up and keep her awake, but it will work.  Only let her sleep about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.  After you put her to bed at ten,  then she wakes up at one, dont pick her up or turn lights on.  Leave her in her bed and tell her its nite nite time and just pat her, even if its not what she wants.  I promise you it will work.  She will go back to sleep eventually.  It will take you atleast a few weeks to get her in the groove of things.  She may wake up a little before 9 though.  The hard part is not getting up with them when they want you to.  You will have to let her be upset some, but in the end youll be thankful.  My little boy did the same exact thing, so i tried it this way and it worked.  Now i put him down at 9-10 and he sleeps til 7 or 8.  Hes been sleeping that well since he was about 4 months old because of my system.  I hope it works out for you! Good luck and late congrats on becoming a mom!!!!
