Help starting!!!

Typically UT but can be OT - how was he when he woke up?  What was the A time before?

[My little Liam]

the A time was 1hr55 and he woke happy but it was after 2 short naps.
i think i am on to something... even if he wakes from a short nap he can handle a full A time. if not, the A time is shortened by 5-10 minutes, not more. if he was UT after 1hr55 then he can handle a full A of around 2hr10 all day.
if that is true, what do i do after the CN? wait 2 hrs till bedtime? i don't think he will want to go to sleep before

Some LOs are like that - can handle almost a full A after any length nap, particularly earlier in the day.  Often though the tiredness will still accumulate so that they can't last as long after a short nap later in the day as they can after a short nap earlier on.  I'd go for BT maybe 1h45ish after your CN - WDYT?

The other possibility is that his 'true' A time is higher than you think, but he's been chronically OT so done some good naps on 2h10 A to catch up.  The way you would know if that's the case is that his naps will start to get shorter again after 2h10 A, typically 45 mins - 1h20 and he'll be waking happy.  If that happens, time to increase his A time a bit more   There can be some MASSIVE jumps as you get closer to 6 months.

I would say that 2 and even 3 NF at his age and considering that he is BF are good. Many BF babies feed like this at night at this age.

Maybe someone can look at my new post and see what I am doing wrong...
