Alright
He went to sleep at 3pm today and woke at 5pm . Now I know bedtime will need to be adjusted !

Yes, I believe now you're getting somewhere! He doesn't need that catnap anymore. I would give him 3hr A, nap, 3hr A, nap, 3/3.5hr A, bed. How many bottles is he getting now? If he's on 5 during the day, dropping to 4 will definitely help. If he's already on 4, it's probably time to wean the night feed. Keep the 12hr day 12hr night though. If he takes a 2 hour AM nap you may need to wake him after 1.5 hours from the PM nap to preserve bedtime.

Well I think it all finally CLICKED !!! HE SLEPT thru the nite LAST NITE !! YESSS butt my husband was snoring last nite (can we fix him too lol !) I kicked his butt outta bed dude please it is the first nite in a lonngg time mom gets to sleep:> !!!

So we ended the day yesterday with a 3 to 5pm nap and bedtime got pushed back to 745pm .Today has pretty much been the same as yesterday same nap times 10am to 12noon. Pm nap he went down at 3pm again . He does get 5 bottles a day I think it is time to drop one too ....he use to get one at 3pm so I'm guessing that is the one to drop ?

It is funny because all of the sudden I realized he had changed and "I" had NOT !! his need's are differnt at 7months ! Ahh yeah duh mom of course they are ! Ok so we are going outta town this weeknd and Grandma has duty so hopefully all goes well for them too ! I will keep ya updated ! THANK THANK YOU !!! for the help and imput !

You're not the only one to have got comfortable and not realised the changes that are silently sneaking along...I did too, around the same age...and we won't be the last.  :-*

Hope the good times continue  :-*
