Thanks ladies... I wouldn't mind if he slept better at night on his self-shortened first nap and long second, but he doesn't. And going longer a times just sends us into 1 nap territory which I'm not sure he's up to. Mind you on town days, he has lived on 2-3 30min naps for the day and then slept like a champ, but I'm not sure I want to risk it just yet.
Seeing as how he shortens his sleep himself to 30m, or less, I just thought that something mightn't be right (like for the last 9mo of his life- his mother is a screwball, but don't tell her that!)
THank you all none the less on the info regarding short a times first up. We got our second night with no wu's, from 7.05pm-4.34am. Don't get me wrong, it's an early start, but uninterrupted sleep is bliss. I put up with his grizzly noises until 5.45 when I pulled him into our bed and fed him, and he then slept til 6.45 (courtesy of a big brother alarm clock)... I'll take no WU's any day!
