How do i get my toddler to sleep longer?
My daughter will be 3 next month. She sleeps in a toddler bed. We put her down at 9 and she won’t go to bed until 10-10:30. She wakes up anywhere between 7 and 8:30. We have a general routine before bed and she normally knows when it’s bed time. She sits in her room and cries for a while whether we go in there every 5/10/15/20 minutes. She’s potty trained during the day but wears a diaper at night. Sometimes she just sits there and tells us she has to go potty for a while. I usually let her and she started trying to go #2 at that time to stall, so we started putting her on the toilet before bed and that helped her go, but she still cries to sit on the potty anyway. She doesn’t nap during the day, and when she does she stays up til midnight. If she had a bad nights sleep one night, she gets up even earlier the next day. I can’t really put her down earlier because I work 11-7 and she wouldn’t get much dinner time.
I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m tired lol. And she’s crabby like all day every day lately.
