10 month old routine- need tweak?

[Lilo's mom]

Hi!! My baby is now 10 month old and, after a looooong battle against short naps when he was 3-4 mo, now he sleeps very, very well during the day! So Well i wonder if I need to change anything.  My doubt is because he is waking up too early... Ideally I'd like him to wake at 7 (and he used to until about 2 weeks ago)but he's been waking 6ish.
Here's his day:
6-7: wu and milk
8,30: juice
10: milk
10-10,30 until noon: nap
12,30: solids
3:30: milk
4: nap until 5 pm
5:30: solids
8: milk
8:30 bedtime

He goes straight until 6. Do you think he is sleeping too much during the day? 3 hrs.?
Thanks!

It is possible he is waking early because he needs more A time before his first nap.  Have you tried pushing his am nap later?

[Lilo's mom]

yes, today his nap was at 11, let's see how it goes tomorrow.
But wouldn't that be a too long A time? (4h30 h)? What would you recommend as the interval between naps and between the 2nd nap and bedtime?
Thanks!

DD2 did about 3.5hrs A between naps and between cn and bed.  If you want LO to start waking closer to 7am, you will have to push the morning A a little bit at first, otherwise the 6am wakeup will be reinforced

Thanks for your reply! But... what is the logic? I don't get it...

He may be waking early because he needs more A in the morning.  If you keep his A the same he will keep waking early because he needs more A, so you will be stuck with an earlier wakeup time.

If my LOs woke early I just did my best to get them as close as possible to regular nap time, then allowed longer A when theystarted sleeping to normal wakeup again.
