EASY and the larger, longer, bigger babies... does it make a deference???????

I'm having a terrible time figuring out DS's A time. We went through some periods of OS due to DD being 24 month's and teething canines, ot and crazy. She really OS DS and now I can't figure him out. He's only taking 30-40 min naps max. He used to take 1 1/2-2hour naps consistently.

He was on a 4 hour easy. we are TOTALLY off routine now and I have NO idea where he needs to be.

Yesterday was a disaster with four 30 min naps. I have no idea. It got crazy when he got OS from DD and I started shortening his A times b/c he would scream every time I put him down and was miserable.

DOES HIM BEING BIGGER MEAN HE NEEDS MORE A TIME? And I'm just shortening it too much trying to get him over the OS? I'm reading average for 5 1/2 month old is 2-2.5hrs. I'm trying to put him down right now at 1hr and 45 min's. We also had a much earlier wake up this morn. So confused.

Size has nothing to do with it at all - just the individual child.

My DS always did long A times and he is a tiny baby.

Okay I was just wondering b/c DD was very small (ds is 5.5months and near the weight she was at 1yr old.. big men in our family) and had very short A times. She was prone to OT and VERY prone to OS, I realize now that was b/c she's touchy.
