I have an 8 month old and I'm not sure what I should have done today. We usually do roughly 3 hrs of awake time between naps.
Woke up at 6am
Nap 1: 8:55-10:05
Nap 2: 12:30-1:00
Put him down for nap #3 at 4:30. At 5pm, as I type this, he's still asleep.
Was that 3rd nap a mistake? If I didn't do a third nap, then he'd be awake for 5.5 hrs between nap #2 and his normal bedtime of 6:30pm. However, he'll wake up from his last nap only to be put back down an hour later.
