Any ideas for today?

Ds (12 months) is pretty much on 1 nap usually wakes at 7, nap 12 - 2 bed 7.30.  Over the weekend we've been out most of time so he has had just a couple of 30 mins naps in the car, so we are in OT mode.

This morning he woke at 6.20, after finally falling asleep at 8.20 last night,  usually if he wakes before 7,  I do 2 naps, but if he does 2 naps he has an EW the next day - hence the one nap at a younger age.

Should I push him til 12 today?  I would normally shorten his a time and pretty much feed him to sleep to get a 2 nap day.

Any ideas anyone? Oh he has only been on the 12 o'clock nap for about 2 weeks so its not set as internal yet.

I found that they last longer the second A-time. So I'd give him a nap at 11.30 or 11.45 and then tuck in 15 min earlier than usual or even normal time, but with longer wind down.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks Steffi!  I took your advice and put him down at 11.30 - I just hear cries now - slept for 1hr 50 so I might have to try for a 10 min catnap before bed or an early bed!

1.50 min is pretty good

How did the day go?

I couldn't get a catnap from him and he refused bed until his usual 7.30 - woke this morning at 5am    No going back to sleep.

I think I'm just stuck now - won't take a second nap but needs it!

Thanks Stacy - but hes A time is 5 hrs then 5.5/6 hours - It would be 10am before I could get him down and even 20 mins keeps him going for nearly 4 hours.  Been going through this for nearly 3 months now....

I'm going to try to put him down early - he only had 9.5 hour night sleep so must be shattered and we are out all morning.

Wish me luck.....
