What is with the 30-40 min naps lately? (10.5mo)

[stuckunderhere]

Today's schedule looks like this...

A times: around the 4hr mark he rubs his eyes and yawns and all that fun tired stuff :p so I've been sticking to that schedule

6:30 wake up
10:20 put down for nap
10:50-11:30 nap
3:15 put down for nap
3:30-4:10 nap
... we are here now, awake time before dinner
Bedtime is 7:30 (but he falls asleep at 8:00)


Is he transitioning to 1 nap? There were a few days where he just wouldn't lay down and sleep until 12:30ish. Isn't he too young for this??

He might be too young for 1 nap but there may be days when he won't want to sleep in the morning and you would make that your 1 nap day.

Have a look at this link: From 2 to 1 nap transition (10-12m and older)

At this age, we were doing the shorter am/longer pm nap. After a 30min nap though he might need to go down for the pm nap sooner than 4hrs A time - our A time after 45min morning nap was around 3-3.5A. So you could try and offer pm nap sooner to see if he will sleep longer.

Is there anything else going on? Developmental or teething, which may also be a reason for the shorter naps. If he's had poor daytime sleep, are you adjusting his bedtime?

Yep, sleep 10-10:30
Then nap should be 1:00-2:30ish

But he still wont nap more than 45mins. It is weird. So maybe he is trying to say he wants 1 nap from 11:30-1:30??

He is teething tooth #6 and possibly 7 too... and learning like crazy this week. We are walking, talking, pointing, dancing, etc. So that might be it too... his night sleep is sh*t also. He wakes up so many times for feeds, but thats a different story. I'm working on naps because I think that's part of our problem.
