Hi, I am at a lost! My son at about 9 months dropped down to one nap, I was extending the am nap and then giving the pm catnap, when eventually he refused to take the pm nap. For a few weeks this worked O.K. he then would nap between 2hr.-3hrs. but then was so cranky I put him back on two naps, shortening the am nap and extending the pm. This worked great for awhile. 1hr. in the am, 2hr.s in pm, then I had to shorten the am even more as he would not fall asleep for the pm, For the last five days he has out and out refused the am nap, he will chat in his crib for 45min. so he has been on one nap. But that one nap is not long enough. he has had 1hr. 15min, one day, 1hr. 15min, fell back asleep for 3hrs. yeah, but then a 1hr. 45min, and then today woke at 1hr. 15min and is now chatting in his crib.
The one good thing is his nights are still good. goes to bed fine at 7:30pm (have tried to put down earlier, won't have it, cries till 7:30) and sleeps till 7:15, 7:30ish, today he slept till 8:15!
His morning A time is 4hrs. 15min, today I extended it by 10min hoping I would get alonger nap. Usually a overtired nap he would wake up crying at 1hr. 15min, but he didn't wake up crying this today, he has been in his crib happy now for 30 min. The stretch till bedtime is too long, he is so cranky. I am not sure what I can do, please help.
Pam
