Soon after successfully getting Willow to "sleep in" until 5:30am to 6:00am, she was right back to getting up at 5:00am. So, we decided to try restricting her daytime sleep again.
And...it worked!! Now, Willow sleeps for two 1-hour naps during the day and she sleeps until 6:00am in the morning and has no trouble staying up for an 8:00pm bedtime.
Willow has slept solidly through the night since about 4-4.5 months old so that was never a problem. And now we have a solid schedule where she has set nap times and lengths and we are all happy in the end.
Sometimes we have to wake her up from her naps during the day but it all works out in the end.
I just wish she was one of those "average" 9-month-olds who had 11 hours of sleep at night and 3 hours of sleep during the day. Too bad fishes aren't wishes. (Then I may actually like seafood)
