NP: lol. To op-- this will change. Before you know it (once your kid is in school, for example), the tiredness will come much earlier [ Reply | More

OR was not joking. Children need sleep. Everyone comments on how well-behaved my children are, and it's because they get adequate sleep. There is no way a 10 p.m. bedtime is suitable for a 2 yo. [ Reply | More

You have no idea how many naps and how long the kid sleeps in the morning. [ Reply | More

It doesn't matter. Seriously. There's a diurnal rhythm that children follow. I'm a Weissbluth follower. Regular sleep is critical. [ Reply | More

Regular sleep for this kid's clock might be 10 to 8 with naps during the day. But go ahead in your smug "Weissbluth follower" world, whatever that means [ Reply | More

I can always tell the kids who go to bed late. Always. It's not smug. It's biology. I feel bad for those kids. But hey, enjoy yourself. [ Reply | More

God I would hate to meet you in real life. The other OR's description of you is perfect: smug. Anyway, don't speak too loudly because one day the tables might turn. I've BTDT and learned. [ Reply | More

it's not bad if she wakes up at 10 am as long as she gets all the sleep she needs. [ Reply | More

she's up by 8am and naps for 1-1.5 hrs in the afternoon. seems like enough, but still feeling guilty about the late bedtime. dh doesn't get home til after 8. it's the only time the 2 get to spend any time together. good trade off? [ Reply | More

yes, of course it is. don't sweat it. she still naps. if she went to bed this late when she was in school it would be one thing, but she is only 2 yo. It is much better that she spend time with her father every night. [ Reply | More

do you try to put her down earlier? My almost 2yo goes down around 7.30, but for the past week hasn't fallen asleep until 9 or 9.30. Happy, but just playing in her crib. [ Reply | More

Its really hard at that age because they still need a nap during the day, but they usually have too much energy and end up staying up till all hours of the night. I had that problem with my son. Now that he is almost 4 and doesn't take the nap during the day, he goes down by 8PM. Hang in there. Maybe do quiet time or try to have 2yo nap earlier. [ Reply | More

here's the problem with it (my sister and bf both went through this with their dc). at 2, it's fine as long as she's getting 12 hours of sleep. at 3, a few things happen - her internal clock kicks in and she's starts to wake up at 6,7,8 (like any other kid) and she's not getting enough sleep, but isnt used to going down before 10. another is preschool - they will have a hard time getting up and going. And finally, you and your dh need a break, some quiet time w/o dc around. jmho [ Reply | More

When we go overseas everyone thinks I'm insane if I put my son to bed around 7-8. They all stay up till about 10. I think the early to bed thing is cultural. You have to do what is best for your child and your family. If the child is resisting and seems to be well rested, what is the problem with a 10PM bedtime? [ Reply | More
