I think the best tactic I tried was shortening his naps by 15 minutes or so ("accidentally" making noise outside him room) until I gradually controlled when and how long he napped for. I also found that keeping him up later at night (8-9pm) meant he slept in longer in the morning. It was a difficult task, grooming his sleep patterns, but it was well worth it.

I am from Ontario as well. You are so lucky!! My little guy is a horrible napper. <br /><br />I love routines as well, but trying to get him to adhere to one is almost impossible! he makes up his own schedule. We have him on somewhat of a schedule; idealy he would wake up at 7, which he does not he wakes up much earlier around 5/5:30 a.m. I feed him at 7a.m. bottle/solids. Nap 9a.m. usually about an hour. 11 a.m. bottle, noon solids. Nap 1p.m. idealy is would be for 2 hours but it usually ends up being 45mins/hour. Bottle 3 p.m., Dinner @ 6:15/6:30 then bath,bottle,bed. He is in bed by 7p.m. but he usually fights going to bed crying for up to 1 hr sometimes before falling asleep!! Hopefully this is just a stage and he will grow out of it soon. <br /><br />Yes, this is my first blog I am very new at this :D I like to write, not the greatest at it, but it is fun and a nice way to preserve memories.New Momma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112984113682827055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993741619229452783.post-33999098483505586362009-07-15T20:35:11.667-04:002009-07-15T20:35:11.667-04:00It's nice to see more and more Canadian moms o...It's nice to see more and more Canadian moms online :) Do you mind me asking which province you're from? I'm in Ontario. My little one is a terrific napper; he goes down for his morning nap and sleeps for 2-3 hours and then most days he has an afternoon nap around 4pm - but only for half an hour or so. Then it's bedtime at 8pm and he wakes up between 8-9am. It's a nice, predictable routine and I LOVE routines :) <br />I see that your blog is fairly new, is this your first one?Jaye @ canadian-mom.cahttp://canadian-mom.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993741619229452783.post-7746168946455078162009-07-15T13:16:02.378-04:002009-07-15T13:16:02.378-04:00It definately is!
