Dear Sunglow,
My daughter is also 13mths old. She sleeps from 10pm to abt 8am everyday. When she goes to bed at 9pm, she'll wake up at abt 4am, play for about an hour and goes back to sleep. To overcome that bad habit, we let her go to bed at abt 10pm.
Below is her schedule;
1) Sleeps from 10pm to 8am
2) 1 hr nap at about 11am
3) Another 1 or 2 hrs nap at abt 2.30pm
Sometimes her nap schedule will change, as she may be busy playing. So, she may skip her afternoon nap and nap for an hour, after her evening stroll.
Since she can walk, we bring her strolling for at least 2 times a day. Once in the morning, after her bath, afternoon after her lunch (depends) and evening about 5pm/ 6pm after her evening feed, then followed by her bath.
It nice to relax the baby abit by bring them to strollings, singing and talking to them. It relaxes them, they are able to rest well, eat well and enhances learning capabilities.
Children with sufficient rest will allow good absorption when they are learning. They may sometimes not able to sleep well due to the weather.
My girl used to be quite heaty since 2nd mth, brought her to YuGuo at Kembangan and was advised to clean her face with 'chrysanthemum tea(w/o sugar)' to remove the heatiness and she becomes so much better. There will be yellowish accumulation around the eyes if they are heaty. Do not give them the tea, it's too cooling for babies.
