11 months old and hardly sleeping during the day!

[Baumster]

Hello there!

Over Christmas, our little guy decided to only sleep once a day instead of his usual routine of two naps for approx. 1 hour each.
For the last week (thanks to a very successful controlled crying experiment) he has been sleeping through the night from 7.30 p.m. until 7.30 a.m. The only problem now is that he only sleeps for 30-45 minutes during the day. Is this normal? He won't nap until around 2 p.m., by which time he's really grumpy, and he's grumpy again a couple of hours before bedtime!!

Has anyone else experienced this?

Tom does this sometimes. He always used to have 2 naps in the day, one around 10:30 then another around 2:30 but since he was about a year old he seems to cut out the afternoon nap most days. He's always been a good sleeper and sleeps through the night too. I think as they get older thwy just start to need less sleep and also now they are more alert and aware of things around them everything's far too exciting to go to bed for a nap!

Darragh only has one nap now too - from about 12 - 13.30, and he sleeps from about 7.30pm to about 7 am. Not every night now mind you but most in fairness.
