We've had long nw, but in the am hours. They've gone away with his napping now at his babysitter of 1.5 h total day time sleep
. Which may come back to bite us, but the long uninterrupted nights are pretty restorative, I think he was more OT with long (good) naps and disturbed nights. Yesterday we did 4.5 hours A before bed after a 1 hour nap (and 30 min am nap), so my theory is there's no such thing as too much A time before bed
, he was even playing nicely on the floor after 2.5 hours - when I normally would've given another nap if he'd slept so little during the day, and only really seemed to be getting very tired after 4+ hours. (I'm totally not advocating 1.5 hrs of daytime sleep at this age, but I'm just throwing this info out there, DS2's sleep is still a work in progress
)
At a younger age, 2 hour naps for DD would disturb her nights, so I did have to cut back to make sure she never slept that long in one go, but that was closer to when she was 5 months; a long am nap at 7 months would just completely eliminate a second nap at this age (we weren't in the midst of 2-1 yet, so we didn't want this).
A cranky baby after waking from a nap is horrible, hugs and good luck making it through the day.
