I think that the tricky thing is that during this regression you start to tweaking the routine, decreasing the nap, or moving BT, and maybe the lo doesn't really need this, it is only a phase that will pass (and of course, due to the lower amount of sleep, some OT is involved), but if you make too many changes and cut too much the sleep, in the long term you have an OT lo in your hands, more difficult to handle.
I have to admit with our last regression I feel I actually made things worse for Z by tweaking but not just holding back and making one small tweak, then holding for a week.

Personally I would maybe try pushing the nap out by 15/30minutes, leave everything else as is and then hold for a week. For us chatting at BT after 12 months for 45mins was totally developmental and OT from me trying to push him out too much suspecting UT.

HUGS Reni - We are all jsut trying to give you some food for thought - Its hard as LOs are all so different and after 12months they become tricky wee things.

oh you are in NZ as well :)!!!
I know and I really appreciate the help I will try to give him a 1.5 hour nap and in bed by 8pm. Hopefully it will work better. I know it's not really ideal but if he isn't distressed I don't mind him folling at sleep after 8:30. Thank you so very much ladies and please if you have anymore ideas let me know :)

I think that sounds like good plan, maybe stick it out 1 week then let us know how things are. Hopefully he will becoming right ;) if after a week you feel he is getting too OT you can try to bring BT forward, or increase that nap again to 2 hrs.

Yes NZer here too :) lovely sunny Easter weekend wasn't it! ;)
