He's a monkey that's for sure :-)

It's generally

Ff 6.45 solids 8
Nap 9.45 (sometimes 9.40 if he seems sleepy)
WU 11.15
Solids 12.00
Ff 2.00
Nap 2.45
WU 3.30
Solids 4.45
Bath 6, ff 6.30

Yesterday though he slept 1.45 in the morning and 45 in pm and today 1.5 am but woke at 45 mins but managed to shush pat back to sleep for rest of nap and then we had to be out today so pm nap was in pushchair which is never a good nap!!

Well, I'd keep an eye on it.  It still sounds a bit developmental, but I think if he continues to get broken naps, he could use a little push in A time.  45min is generally UT, which I'm sure you know, but it can be OT for some (but it doesn't seem like his are OT).  I would be careful with that last A to bed if he continues to do a shorter nap in the pm, as that can lead to OT nights.  I wouldn't do over 3hr, if possible.

Well now he's full of cold bless him so last night was a nightmare ended up in bed with us and 2 hours sleep :-( but today he's in such a good mood even with the cold and had 2 decent naps 1.5 and 1.15 hr but were away for the weekend at parents so he won't sleep well!! Then were moving house in 2 weeks lol I might as well give up!
I'm just trying to be consistent and hope he gets through it all!!

Oh my, good luck! ;). You're right... consistency will help the most and you'll get through it. (((Hugs))), hope he continues to feel better. Those nights are so tough.

FWIW, my DS would sleep on me if needed at ILs and then go right back to independent sleep at home. We were at least able to prevent major OT that way.

Awful weekend of sleep, this morning up at 4.45am crashed on my knee at 8am which never happens as he doesn't sit still lol! Good job had 2 hour car ride at lunch as got him to sleep till 3.15pm! Dreading the night again :-( and now I've got the cold too!! Hope these early morning are linked to his cold and teeth and go away soon!!
