She will protest as she knows it means nap time but after a while she will give up and give in :-). Persistence pays. How I wish there is an easier way with her. I tried reading but she's not into them. She loves books but she enjoys tearing them more than reading them now. Yeah I pin her down and of course she will fuss :-) .

And she doesn't fuss? We tried that with the boy, he will fuss and cry! So we have to use softer approach and "trick" him to lie still and listen to stories. I guess as long as they are healthy and active, we should be happy parents already huh :) Wow, you pin Hayley down?! And she doesn’t fuss? We tried that with the boy, he will fuss and cry!

She gets about 2 - 3 hours in the day and 9 - 10 hours at night. Day time nap is by force where I have to pin her down onto the bed and night time she has no choice as we place her in the cot. She will sleep within 30 mins on her own. Cannot imagine what will happen when we transfer her to a bed which is going to happen fairly soon as she has outgrown the cot. I have read various websites too saying that toddlers will need to sleep more to grow. I have a colleague whose daughter only naps for 30 mins twice a day and sleep for about 10 hours at night and she is big. At 13 months, she is already at 10kg! And we exchange notes all the time on what we feed our babies and we feed more or less the same amount. So I think our babies are fine, they are just over active :-) Hayley is exactly the same as your boy. She gets about 2 – 3 hours in the day and 9 – 10 hours at night.
