and about 11-12 hrs at night! I started a pattern about 2 months ago and tried to cut out his morning nap by leaving him to sleep longer in the morning (this can't work for everyone especially if you have to get up early and go to work).. he would wake up at about 5 or 6am and i'd leave him to cry.. reason why I left him to cry? I realised that if he awoke crying it meant he hadn't slept enough, while if he didn't it meant he had.. so I would leave him to cry and he'd fall back to sleep. After maybe a week, he stopped the crying and slept until about 8.30-9am! This then cut out the morning sleep. I would then play with him until 12midday, then he'd eat and then play again or watch BabyTv until 1pm, then it was bedtime.. I put him to bed even if he didn't look tired, but as soon as he was in the room with the windows closed he'd rub his eyes (strange).. again you need to leave him to cry after a few cuddles and kisses.. now he doesn't even cry at all! Then he'd sleep miraculously for about 3-4 hrs.. once awake then he has some fruit and snacks, then play, then dinner with some water at 7pm, then milk at 8pm while playing, then shower at 8.30-9pm, then in the bed after a story at 9.30pm.. i try to follow this routine everyday!
