Do you think he was UT!?! I considered putting him down at 7:30 - but was wary of a 14 hour day... Thank you!
OT Honey, and you're right to worry about a 14 hour day. Okay so I just reviewed the whole thread and here's my thoughts. Every day you're flying by the seat of yoru pants and there is no consistency for E. This is absolutely not a criticism because it's just the way things happen when WU differs and NW are at play but usually when it gets this way nothing improves so I am going to suggest you start tomorrow on a 1 nap routine and stick with it until it takes hold. You have another LO to consider which makes the daily changes hard to handle.
When our Son Sam was 12 months the same thing happened and short am/long pm and anything else I tried didn't work so I pushed him through. He was waking consistently at 5am so it can be done. Here's what we did..........
WU 5.00
Nap 10.00 to between 11.00 and 1.00...differing every day but starting out at around 1.15 length.
BT 6 hours maximum from nap as early as 5pm on occasion. But always keeping his day to 13 hours maximum no matter what nap length. He had NEVER tacked until this point. If LO was to go down at 6pm and EW at say 4am then it is a NW and the earlier they wake the easier it is to get them back over IYKWIM
Personally I went for a 5 hour set A time to start with but when WU got later I was able to allow his A time to be shorter and within 2 weeks he was doing this:
6am WU
11.00 to 1.00 nap like clockwork
7pm BT
What do you think Hun
Remember also that if he goes to bed at say 5.30 and wakes at 5.30 he will have had a 12 hour night putting him in a much better position to handle the next morning and be less OT for a hopefully longer nap.
It does sound like teething may be at play too so IIWM I would give him meds as soon as you can during NW.
I know you're wary of EBT Hun and I know all our LO's are different but I really recommend you go for it. You will feel better having a plan.
