Hi friends! J is currently in the midst of the 3-2 transition. Right now his a times are 2.5 hours and I wake him at 1.5 for his first two naps to preserve a 20-30 min cn. But he keeps waking earlier in the morning (after about 11 hours) acting happy. I can get him to go back to sleep but it takes about half an hour. And he is starting to fight BT acting not tired enough. Switching yesterday from a 30 min cn to a 20 min cn didn't fix the problem. Plus he fought the cn so I felt bad pushing him to sleep and then waking him up after 20 min. I'd like to jump to 2 naps but I don't want to increase a times too fast. I'm pretty sure he could handle a push to 2 hours 45 min a time. Is it possible to do two naps off of this a time and do a little bit longer naps? I'm thinking of something like this (yes, he does late BT and WU which works well for our family):
WU 9:00
Nap 11:45-1:30
Nap 4:15-6:00
BT 8:45
Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Is it asking for trouble to do longer naps and a shorter than 12 hour day? Oh, and how do you fit feeds around it? Right now he has 4 milk feeds and (just barely started) 3 small meals of solids (he's a huge kid!) Thank you so much!
