5.5 months and think we need PU/PD but not sure when or how

Any ideas?

I would tend to agree, I think this is getting on for the push to 2 naps now.  If the night of the 7th was good I'd bet that first nap was UT - we got 37 minute naps constantly at this age until I properly pushed the A times.  Then ended up OT with short naps the rest of the day so the first nap the next day was likely due to accumulated OT, rather than the A time per se being wrong.  Do you try to resettle?

Actually he got up a bunch the night of the 7th and was taking a good morning nap (at 2h30m A time) the next day for the first time in forever and his brothers busted in his room at 50 minutes and woke him. I was pretty upset with them.

He just woke up from a 17m nap, shoot me!

I do not resettle unless after bedtime or early AM. He is always so wide awake when he get up and with 2 other small children, I can not spend 20-40mins in his room trying to get him back down.

I thought yesterday was pretty good for us (haha if you look at it, it isn't pretty but for us about as good as it gets) but he was up pretty early today (5:50 - though I did get him back down for like 40 mins)

Here is our good day (8/10):
W/U at 7:17
A: 2h33m
S: 9:50-10:20 (30m)
A: 2h36m
S: 12:56-1:30 (34m)
A: 2h38m
SL 4:08-4:47 (39m)
A: 3h13m
BT @ 8 --- put him down like 7:40 I think but took time to settle

AND HE DIDN"T WAKE UP EARLY EVENING EVEN ONCE!! This never happens. Only was up to E @ 2:30 and then again at 5:50 - resettled at 6:25 and then up just after 7

So with knowing he will likely take short naps even with an A push, do you suggest 2h45m or 3h?

Push to 2h45, hold for a few days, then go to 3 hours and 2 naps unless both are a disaster x
