I've read a lot here before posting, and can't figure out whether I should try the transition yet or not. DS is 10.5 months, and around 8 months we finally made it over the 30 minute nap hurdle. For quite some time he's been taking great naps 2x a day and sleeping well at night (always has at night - 11.5 hours usually). I'll post our schedule:
7am wake and bf
8:30 breakfast
10:00 nap, anywhere from 45min to an hour
11:00 bf
12:30/1:00 lunch
2:30 nap, 1.25 - 1.5 hours
4:00 bf
5:15 dinner
6:30 start bedtime routine, in bed by 7:30
He got REALLY sick over the weekend - nasty flu that caused vomitting and diarrhea. For two days he clung to me, and slept on me a lot during the day on and off. He slept in his crib at night, waking up at the usual time. Since then he's refused the morning nap every day. It's been 5 days - 7 including the days he was sick - and he gets tired and acts as if he's ready to go down, but then sleeps very little if at all. He just keeps standing up in his crib. He has still be taking the "second" nap around 2:30, and sleeps the same 1.5 hours.
His morning wake up time has gotten earlier and earlier, and this morning he was up at 5:30. I got him back to sleep around 6:30 and let him sleep til 7:50. Now he's in his crib for nap #1 and not sleeping, even though I waited until he let me know he was ready.
Help! I liked the two naps at about an hour each, and I can't get them back!
