[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my baby is nearly the same age (11 months) and is on almost exactly the schedule you mention at his daycare (also an in-home).  At daycare, they only allow morning naps to go about 30 minutes, so he's down at 9, up at 9:30, down at 12 or 12:30, up at 2:30. He melts down nearly every night around 6:30 and we have him in bed by 7. He sleep through the night and is up by 5:30ish am. I nurse him, put him back in crib, and he sleeps for another hour, usually.

This is just how babies this age are (this is my second child and first was almost the same). Embrace the early wakeup, as others have mentioned. My big kid (nearly 5) is asleep by 7:30 and awake by 6 a.m (and still naps in p.m., though that will [b]end with kindergarten[/b]). He knows now to stay in bed looking at books, but some kids are just early risers and fighting it doesn't work. [/quote]

Since we are talking about kids sleeping, I wanted to tell you that my girl was always a napper and I thought that would end with kindergarten too.  Let me tell you, kindergarten is *exhausting*! I wish someone had told me to plan ahead for an immediate rest/nap time as soon as she got home.  By the holidays she wasn't falling asleep anymore but still needed a solid 30 minutes of downtime.
