Thanks Bec.  :)
ITA with the 11 hour night, was the only way to get a decent nap around this age, otherwise the night is too long. 

I think you're on the right track.

I have looked back on my logs and realized that this whole EW business started out with 2 days of long AM nap and short PM CN.  Granted, the PM CN was probably too late in the day, but I think I may just try the short AM to see what happens.

If I do the long AM, do I let him sleep as long as he needs or do I wake at 1h30?

If I do the short AM, I'd aim for something like this:

WU 6
Nap 9:30-10:15
Nap 1:30-3:00
BT 7:00

Does that make sense? I was also thinking at not allowing the nap bf 9:30 even if he gets up earlier.

This morning he slept from 9:25 to 10:40.  Can 1h15 be OT, because it's impossible that it was UT with 4h25 of A time ???

I didn't do too well :(

Woke him from his PM nap after 1h05. So today was

WU 5:00
Nap 9:25-10:40 (woke on his own)
Nap 2:00-3:05 (I woke him)
BT - I put down at 6:30, it's now 7 and he's still not asleep  :-\

He's also sick with a cold although it's not really affecting him during the day - so maybe it's best to just suck it up for now and try to work on that later? But at the same time, a 9.5h night is surely not allowing him to get the rest he needs to get better either  :-\

Is the cold messing with his night sleep or not?  James has had more than his share of colds it seems, and for the most part he sleeps through it. 

Honestly at this point, I'd try to cap one of the naps as it doesn't seem as if you've got anything to lose by doing so.

I don't think the cold is messing with the night sleep, unless it's causing EW but I don't see why since he sleeps ok the rest of the night (except for his NF).

Ok I'll get to work on that tomorrow, FX it goes well! :)

That's good.  Mine were generally able to sleep well through colds.  I'd say the only other thing is teeth -- always caused EWs here.

Usually when teeth are an issue, they will affect his naps - he's going to nap well only if medicated. Now he naps fine, without any meds. So I doubt this would be the issue although you never know, maybe it's the molars moving in or something so they bother him 'differently'.

I'll try capping the naps a few days and then see what happens.

Sounds like a plan -- and unlikely to be teeth as well, if it's different than previous ones.  If anything, I find that molars have a bigger affect, not a lesser one.  :)

Sorry one more question - he just woke up now so obviously he's OT bc I didn't get him to ned early enough tonight. Do I stick with the plan tomorrow or allow him full naps to recuperate from the OT?

I'd stick with the plan -- because otherwise you're going to get stuck in this OT loop for the forseeable future.

I have good news to report ;D ;D ;D ;D

DS slept 12h last night! 1 NF at 4:30 (which is late for him) and then up at 7:15 ;D ;D ;D ;D

New day new challenges LOL. Today the challenge is to get him to take a small CN this morning not too late and then get a nice long nap in the PM. I know the late AM, PM CN will not work, we've had EW with that.

Success again! ;D ;D ;D

45 AM nap, 1h20 PM nap, 11h30 night! He woke up at 6:45 this morning. Amazing how rested I feel after those 2 good nights :)

Thank you so much ladies for your help!
