Hello All. My lo has pretty much settled into regular nap times during the day, give or take 30 mintues depending on when he wakes up in the morning. He's generally staying awake 3 hours first thing in the morning, then 3-3.5 hours after his first nap, then after his 2nd nap he's awake anywhere from 3-5 hours. I'm wondering if we need to try and stretch his awake time in the mornings or just follow his cues? He seems to be fine when he does the long stretches in the afternoon/evening. For example last night I tried to put him down at his usualy bed time about 7:00 and he was just awake, happy and talking, he ended up staying up until 8:30, he then usually sleeps about 10 hours instead of his usual 11-11.5.
