Is it ok to wake 15 month baby from sleep...my daughter will sleep till 12 in the morning if I dnt wake her up n also in afternoon she wkd sleep fr hrs together n as a result wnt go to bed till late nite..so I decided to wake her up in morning at 9:30 or so n also in afternoon I dnt let her sleep fr more than 1.5 hr so that at nite I can get her to sleep by 10 ...my concern is - does it harm the baby if her sleep is disturbed like this...I'm just worried if waking from sleep is hampering her ...if I dnt do this , she dent sleep by 12 or 1 in the nite whn me n my husband are dying to sleep,it just disturbs the whole sleep schedule.
10 is a little late for a 15 month old. This is just my opinion. Every kid is different and if that schedule works for you, go with it. But if you put her down earlier, she likely won't sleep as long in the morning. Also I found that the more exercise my boys get the more tired they are at bed time. I run them ragged in the afternoons lol. Good luck!
the total amount of sleep is important, not really the timing. But you have to be careful and adjust by only like 15 min a day when you are moving the "schedule". Have you read the Baby Whisperer books? Lots of good advice about routines and sleep routines. At 15 months my daughter took two naps so if you are down to one that might be the problem, I couldn't decipher your routine from your post so its hard to comment.
Good luck.
Sounds like she's upside down in her schedule. I'd definitely interrupt her sleep in order to fix it so she'll sleep all night. It's not gonna damage her for you to do a little tweeking of the sleep schedule.
You are not hurting her. She'll get on your schedule if you are consistent.
Dont wake up sleeping baby . their body need to sleep. their brain growth all happen during their sleep. sleep help them to get normal growth and development , normal hormonal balance and if she had enough sleep she will wake up happier and be able to play and eat be more calm. Just be sure to feed her and change her diaper and be sure she is comfortable and when her body get enough she will wake up by herself. try to use this time to rest or to work or doing anything for yourself. whatever you try every child has his own schedule the best to do is to follow her not forcing her to yours . I was having the same problems when I was trying to push my boy to sleep but after trying everything I decided to wake with him play with him instead of spending the whole night swinging and singing to force him sleep and i keep playing with him with the light on and dont care about daytime night time confusion until he get tired and fall sleep and when he sleep I sleep then this change and he start to sleep most of the night now by him self . so I do it old way dont force her to do anything and im sure she will be OK soon.
you're just resetting her sleep schedule. she will get used to it. it's sorta like going from 3 naps to 2 and then down to 1. just readjusting.
Ugh, its so hard isn't it? Still feel like I can't get my son on track at almost 4. My advice would be to move her bedtime up to 7 or 8 if this is possible. Don't know how your schedule works though...
I think if you are trying to make a schedule its okay. But not for a long period of time. Hopefully she will get used to it. My son is 3 turning 4 in June God willing. The school allows 2 hr naps in the afternoon from 12 to 2. I am okay with that and he still goes to bed at 8pm. I really dont like to wake babies when they are sleeping. Maybe she needs vitamins.

Your doing the right thing Mama!! Keep it up girl!
she'll be fine if you are just making sure she has the right amount of sleep a day. I had my daughter on a sleep schedule by the time she was 3 months, and I still wake her up from naps so she'll be able to get to sleep at night.
