Sorry ladies but I am back!

I accepted that he may be a 'low-sleep' needs baby but at the moment it seems to be beyond a joke.
Yesterday was particulary bad with under 10 hrs sleep at night.
His EASY yesterday looked like this:

E&A:6.20 - 1.00PM
S:1.00PM - 2.15
E&A:2.15 - 8.15
S:8.15pm - 6.00am!!!

He is waking up very happy as well, he is as bright as a button and gigglying at himself as he says 'uh-oh' as he hits the side of the cot with his hand.

He has started to walk but only doing 4 steps at a time and these are few and far between!

Should I look at bringing his nap down to 1hr?

Seems young for it, but I guess that's the LSN thing... There's no harm in trying it (bar the possibility of OT) and getting a longer night is pretty important, right?

He is now 13.5 months and not 12 months as my ticker says.

Even so... Give it a go. Let me know how it goes - DS is quite similar in sleep needs (though younger) I think.
