I know there are many posts about this atm but our situation is a little different (as always
so just wanted some advice.
Henry is 37 months. We have been having nap/no nap days since about July when he refused to sleep in his bed. In September he was so OT I instigated quiet time which worked well for about 2 months in that he would sometimes sleep/sometimes not.
About 2 weeks ago I stopped it as it had been a good 3 weeks with no nap and he was just getting SO tricky to get in his room and waking M etc. He now has quiet time on the sofa from 1.30-2.30pm every day and I try to give him a 40 min car nap at least twice a week.
Henry does not really fight bedtime (apart from a little blip a few weeks ago)...he will go down regardless of whether he has napped or not and to begin with he def needed the nap or mornings would get earlier etc.
The last few weeks we have had a lot of NWings and he is not a NWaker at all....some seem to be dreams but last night he woke 4 times before midnight and was just asking me questions like how long until morning etc. It is so out of character for him. This was after a 30 min nap yesterday.
I am wondering whether to just get rid of the nap totally - could it be causing the NWings? Normally I would think it would be OT at that time of night but tbh night before last he did a good night - 12 hours is the max he does and then he did a nap in the car. Could the nap be causing this?
He does always look tired and of course it could be OT but even through OT he does not usually wake as much as this?
What do you think???
