Over the past 2 weeks our 9 mo. old has transitioned from 3 naps to 2. The problem is that for some reason now he only wants to take 1 hr. naps (formerly they were 1.5 hrs.) It's hard for him to make it through the day if he only sleeps for two 1 hr. naps. Has this happened to anyone else--shorter naps after dropping a nap?
Here is our routine:
W 7:00
E 7:30 (BF then solids)
A
S 10 (1 hr.)
E 11 (BF then solids)
A
S 2:30 (1 hr.)
E 3:30 (BF then solids)
A
E 6:30 (BF)
S 7
He really has trouble going more then 3 hrs. between naps. We have tried putting him down at 6:30 if it is a short naps day, but then he just wakes earlier and we have an even longer day to get through on only two naps. I thought when we dropped the cat nap his other naps would become longer, but that has not been the case. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have any advice on what we should do?
