Thanks for that,i kinda figured that big nap so late in afternoon couldnt have helped,think we slightly back on track today he did 1.5hr nap this morn then a 45min one and is just waking from another 45min nap now,,sorry forgot to mention we had the 45min nap curse for months
and finally overcame it but he still regresses some days i just have to adjust to him as accepted he never going to do exactly the same day in day out,i just aim that he has correct amount of day sleep for his age.
Going to go for a 7.45pm bedtime now poss 8pm see how he does and will definately try pu/pd if has less than 10.5hrs nightsleep again.

Good luck!  I hate 45 minute naps.  I hope you had a better night.

We have had two good nights now,but only seems to take 45min nap in morn and 2hr nap later in afternoon,showed no signs of tiredness for 4hours yeasterday,woke 10.15am and wasnt ready to sleep again till 2.15pm,woke from nap 4.15pm and back down for night at 7.15pm.
He has woken crying at 1.30 in morn and 12.15 yesterday and day before but just laid hand on cheek,or back and sent himself back to sleep after 5mins.
Also morning wake ups back on track been between 6.15 and 6.30,so all good now!
