vent: sleep (Abby)
This may get rambly.
Right now Abby's sleep schedule is:
Wake in morning: between 7:30 and 9:00 am
Morning nap: 3 hours later
Afternoon nap: 4 hours after she wakes from the 1st nap
Bedtime: in her room by 8:30 and it takes her 1 hour to fall asleep * she falls asleep after having 2 sippies of half milk and half chamomille tea with me laying next to her in the toddler bed
She sleeps until 11:30 and needs a diaper change and sometimes her sippy cup. I usually bring her onto the air matress and sleep with her the rest of the night. She tosses and turns so much and hogs the twin mattress leaving me nowhere to sleep. Sometimes 2 more diaper changes are needed.
I know I should wean her off the sippy at bedtime and overnight, but am not sure how. I also want to get her sleeping in her toddler bed all night and for me to be able to sleep with dh. I don't know where to start. Any suggestions are appreciated. I've looked everywhere online. I think talking to people will help me come up with a plan.
I also thought about waking her up at 7 every morning to get an earlier bedtime and maybe better sleep. I feel lost on this. Thanks guys!

Re: vent: sleep (Abby)
As for the diapers, are you using regular diapers or night time diapers? I use night time diapers and don't change lily even if she wakes up unless she is poopy.
The diapers are luvs and say good for night, but are not "night" diapers.
