One would think that if a baby or a child went without much rest (like naps) during the day then he or she would be so exhausted and sleep without incidence through the night.
This is what I have been told my entire life as mother to my children.
This is a myth.
My kids don't sleep all night long if they haven't had any rest during the day. They wake frequently and most of the time they are crying and trying to get somewhere...in their sleep... We are trying to calm them down and get them back down all night long.
So... the next day, we are tired and exhausted from running around after them at whatever event that kept us out late and we are up all night trying to quiet the tired kids.
That is how it works for us...always has!
