Hi there
Just wanted to reply cos I also have a DS same age as yours and had weird things going on with naps and A time!
I will sound like im completely mad cos my A time has gone right back to 2hrs in am (yesterday was 1hr 45!!) seems that teething has really affected my little lad (swollen gums but no teeth!) so im kinda following his lead - I was previously on 2hrs 30 - 2hrs 45 A time then a few wks back OT crept in so I did the 2 hrs first A time and followed a 2,3,4 routine for nap which worked a dream for 2 wks now he is about to cut a tooth and im back to 3 naps last few days with 2,2.5,2.5,2.25 as my A times.... I am getting earlier wakings from having the 3 naps cos he really doesnt want 3 but at least im getting good naps again!
this morning he woke at 5.45 so i pushed him to 2hrs 30 A time and got a 40 min nap with lots of crying!!!...
I know im completely way off what everyone else is doing and maybe im messing him up with all these short A times but at least hes happier with it...for now!!!!
do you have any NW...i havent had even one STTN and he started waking more when i cut from 4 to 3 naps and hasnt stopped the wakings!! i thought too much daysleep so had the last 2 months been limiting him to just 3hrs day sleep but since cutting A times this means he sleeps more than this usually 3.5hrs but he wakes only once at night mostly now!!
this is soooo confusing!
