Naps have never really been a problem here, the occasional refusal but mostly good length etc but we have a night problem & my gut says it is time for Liam to move to 1 nap... Aiden didn't until 21months, but hey no 2 children are the same.
at the moment we have
7am wakeup
9.30/10 nap (45-60mins)
1.30/2pm nap (60-120mins)
7/7.30pm bed
We've just got over a cold & teething bout & think he is caught up on some horrid sleep deprivation & when I do the maths he gets about 14-15 hours in 24 hours... except that there is a fairly regular 4amish wake up, that takes about an hour of "fighting" for him to go back to sleep... it starts with him happy & then gets really wound up... I think it is that he isn't quite tired enough at bed time to get him past the 4am light sleep phase
So I want to move to 1 nap
Problem... Aiden naps at about 1.30pm, occasionally 12.30 but only if we are home & have lunch early most of our activities are say 10.30- 12.30pm, so I kind of hoped I'd have a month or 3 more before this occured
I don't think I can push to 12.30pm in one go, although he has done it on occasion after a late wakeup.
Do you nap gurus think I should cut back the am nap to 20mins or just try to push for a 12.30nap... any suggestions welcome
