EWU for ~2 Months, tried several things...thoughts?

It's always tricky with illness getting the balance of enough vs too much sleep.  I'm guessing he has been getting better?  What nap lengths were you doing before the illness?  Perhaps he does need it capped a bit at home now he's recovered?

He’s all better, and has been for a little bit praise God! We had our time change and that had not been fun 😰 We pushed his bed time by 20 minutes over a few days since he’s just so tired but bedtime. He’s moved on wake up to 4:45 the past couple days from 3:45 last Sunday. Phew! But bed is still 7:30/7:45. We did uncapped naps this week too. We don’t leave his room until 5 and are slowly moving breakfast (5:45 this morning). Capped nap at home might be good. He will sleep three hours uncapped so he needs more sleep overnight than he’s getting poor thing. But so do mama and daddy 😂

Just wondering (bit radical) but since you've had success shifting his WU with a later bedtime, is there any merit at all in pushing your bedtime another 1-2 hours later to just get a decent WU time?  May maximise sleep for you all?  At least then you could work on dropping/capping the nap and bringing BT forwards?
