thanks ladies, I think his am nap is the one he likes more, he seems to go down equally well for both, but probably a bit better for the am nap...I need to wake him up from both naps, but at times he does wake up from the am nap on his own...

So will try working with the AM nap being the main one.

Anyways my troubles have increased multiple fold, might need to start another post. :(

Thanks,
Mukta

:( well the 6.30pm going to bed was a disaster, he woke around 1am and continued to be unsettled on and off till about 4am, half the time it just seemed like he was playing in his cot, this would happen for a few minutes at a time, then he would go quiet for 30-90mins then wake again.  Really strange nite, never had a night like it really, he wasn't exactly crying, but just restless, enough to wake me!!  Maybe it wasn't the missed nap as he has missed them before and not had this sort of a night.  Anyway, that was Tuesday's night.  Wed he had a shorter a.m nap and a cap nap in the afternoon, slept fine, but woke a tin bit earl around 6.30am.  Today he had an early and short a.m nap, but then wouldn't settle for an afternoon nap.  So by 6.30pm he was bouncing off the walls.  He did settle OK but will wait to see if he goes through.  There just doesn't seem to be any pattern unless i am missing something.  Anyone who can spot something i missed pleased let me know.  H x

sorry to hear about the rough night  :-\  i don't have many ideas on that but hopefully it was a fluke!

what about going totally the other way and giving him the catnap in the morning so that this hopefully allows for a longer pm nap?  this was advice that i received at one point. i will say that i tried this myself for 2 days and it was not working so i decided not to continue. however i have read a number of posts from people who say this really worked for them.

that would mean the first nap would be about 30 min long, then wake up and have a shorter A time, and try for a 1-1.5 hour nap in the afternoon. if it works you can then keep your 7.30 bedtime and hold on to the 2 naps a little longer until he's really ready.

what do you think?
