10.5 month old started NW!!!----Please Help!

[acarter3]

Hi,

My 10.5 month old started NW a few nights ago and we can figure out what's wrong.  I did start waking him up earlier in his AM nap because he wasn't tired anymore for his afternoon nap and I read on here that he probably needed less sleep in the morning. 


Here is his typical schedule (of course not for the last few nights):

7-7:30am-wake up
7:30am-bottle-6-7 oz.
8:00-breakfast
9-9:30am-nap
10-10:30am-wake up
11:30-bottle-6 oz.
12:00-lunch
1:00-1:30pm-nap
2-2:30pm-wake
3:30-snack-yogurt
5:00-dinner
7:00-7:30pm-bottle-7 oz.
7:45-8pm-in bed

This has worked well for us, but in the last few days, he started to wake up at night.  Sometimes, just a couple of times and one time, it was about every hour. 
Is he getting too much of something or not enough during the day?  Should I let him sleep more in his pm nap (sometimes he'll wake up himself after an hour)?  Should I put him down earlier at night?

Please help!

TIA!

WOW!!! You're in good company. There are loads of us now all navigating through a sleepmare!!

I'm sure one of the Mods or another Mother will come along soon with advice, and I'll post you if I come up with an answer but for now, feel free to take a look at the advice given on similar threads. Generally, the aim seems to be cutting the am nap shorter, reducing the following A a little to get a good 1 1/2hr nap in the pm, then a good A and a sharp bedtime.  There's also the thread for the 2 -1 switch where people are sharing advice.... http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=137441.0 and the birthclubs for this age are also talking about it... http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=139035.0
