Of course it is possible hun!  Babies are all different ;)  If it works for him, go with it for a few days and see if it sticks :)

Yey for STTN. It isn't unheard of to have that routine. Some other experts suggest one long and one short nap from early on. The only way to know is to try it again and see if you get sttn consistently. Hope you made the most of it and caught up some sleep.
I don't think the daycare needs to go. I think a happy mummy is very important for him and if he does find it OS I think he will get used to it.

Hugs hun xx

I would not be cutting back daycare.  Its only 2 days a week and its only 6 hours a day.  If he were there 8-6 then maybe but i don't think 2 x 6 hour stints there will be affecting your whole week and all your nights.  I think for YOUR sake you have to work around daycare.  And even if it was causing the NWs I think you have to work with it because YOU need a break too. 

COuld daycare get him to nap a bit later for the first nap and then you could do the second nap at home?  Will he transfer from the car to the crib?  So on those days you could do short am-long pm and then at home so the reverse if that suits better?  Then least there will not be so much OT to mop up.

As pp say if you need the break and he loves it too hen he will get used to the OS. If I was in your shoes I would need that time too, and KM is right, happy mumma means happy family ;)

re nap routine, good luck, I hope it works for him (and you) x

I would keep the current daycare too - it's only twice a week and shouldn't be causing a whole week of weird sleep - maybe just a day...   He is old enough to adapt fairly quickly.

I would try the long and short nap idea and see what comes of it :)

well the same routine happened today as well. for some reason he only sleeps 35mins in teh afternoon. but he bumped his head real bad in the bath (large eggshaped lump and bruise) so sleep could be weird anyway tonight.
