From the beginning, naps have plagued my sanity. Our now 29 month old began life as a chronic short napper, with the 30 min wąkeup and having to resettle. That lasted forever. He's never been a super long napper which is no big deal.
Anyway
now his sleep is just weird with the nap. I'm fairly sure the nap is to blame, but I fear dropping it quite yet.
For the last month he settled into
WU 7:30-8
Nap 2:00 (1 hour to 1.5 hrs tops mostly uncapped)
BT 9-9:30
(asleep by then)
If I'd put him down earlier than 8:40 he would just be up and down calling for me, asking to pee, for water, etc. so I accepted the later BT and later WU.
Now, the past few days, his WU is getting earlier. 6:30-6:46, so not quite 10 hrs of night sleep. So now I'm at a loss as of what to do? Cap his nap? How long should it be?
Today I let him nap for almost 2 hours! Since he's had a few short nights in a row. Since he was up at 6:30am I put him down for BT at 7:40 and he took almost an hour to fall asleep. 14 hour day! Is such a ling day common when getting closet to the 1-0?
As always, his mood is fine. I did notice he was calmer today after the long nap. He can get hyper a lot. Do then I'm thinking is he always OT?
Any advice or insights?
