tbh I'm really surprised that he's dropped his nap already, he has never really been low sleep needs. Even during (LONG) bad patches when he wasn't sleeping enough, I knew he needed more. He tries really, really hard to nap when I put him down, but he just can't. I need to get a bit more of a strategy for quiet time, it's not working for us really right now. He doesn't like the stories CD I got him

and declines to listen to music either

Nicole, Stan was doing 10.5-11.5hr nights when he was napping. Soon as he dropped the nap (I had been capping it for a while), his nights went long again.
