Was just thinking about you too  ;)
Have you tried W2S in the mornings?
Perhaps to much day sleep?

Natasha it's not a set wake time but between 5.40 and 6.00. Last time I tried wake to sleep I got an even earlier wake up so am pretty afraid of that one. Yes I am thinking of too much day sleep. He is doing an hour nap in the am and 1.15 or 1.30 in the pm, which adds up to the right amount but maybe it needs to be redistributed. But it's kind of hard with the EW to change it. He did a 20 min nap this morning so today should be very interesting.

How long after he gets up are you putting him down for his morning nap?
I would try and shorten that morning nap but you did say today his nap was short so should be interesting to see how the night goes. Basically the morning nap is an extension of the night sleep and often babies will wake early in the morning and hold out for that morning nap. So if you make it after 3hrs or more from waking and limit it they not do this.

Yeah it's usually 3 hours or 3.15 after wake up and I usually have to wake him after an hour. He would probably go down earlier some days but I make sure it's at least 3 hours. He is still very happy and it's an hour away from his pm nap though I might put him down a bit earlier today and pray he sleeps at least an hour and a half.
Typical he is probably going to change his naps now that we are going on vacation in 2 days.
