But my problem is that he seems to need a long A time even after a CN! So there's basically not enough time in a day to fit in two naps!

How long will he nap for the main nap?
What does the day look like now.
If you think he is ready you could try cold turkey going to 1 nap and see how he goes?
Ie
WU 6.30
Nap 11.30-2
BT 6/6.30

Thanks, Sara! This is what I'm thinking, too. Usually his longer nap (morning) is anywhere from 1 hour to 1.25 hours (really never longer). Sometimes his afternoon nap will be 45 minutes, other times (like yesterday) it's an hour. Honestly, he's doing OK with these two naps. My main concern is that he's not getting enough sleep at night. He usually sleeps for around 10 hours (like 7:30 - 5:30). And since he only gets 2 hours during the day, that's only a total of 12 all day, which seems a little short. I'd love to make his night sleep at least 11 hours. Although maybe he's just one of those babies who doesn't need quite as much sleep. He's always happy and never seems overtired.
I might try one nap really soon and see how it goes. Thanks again!

Some LOs do need less sleep than others, ifhe copes well with OT then just go for the 1 nap and see how he goes. If you do that though I would really try to AP him back tosleep if he wakes before 1.5 hrs in order to a) get him learning to nap longer for his 1 nap and b) help him last the day without too much OT or BT becoming ridiculous ;)
