My twin boys are 14 months today. We have been limiting their morning nap for a while now, in hopes of longer afternoon naps. They usually nap about 35 minutes in the morning, and then 80-90 minutes in the afternoon.
However, the last two days, J has been waking 30 minutes into his afternoon nap. I usually end up having to bf him to get him back to sleep (we don't usually do this, but it's the fastest way to get him back to sleep without waking his brother). Once he's back to sleep, he'll only sleep for another 30 minutes. (We then end up with a crabby and OT boy for the evening.) I'm wondering if he's ready to drop that morning cat nap altogether. He's also been having a hard time sleeping at night - lots of fussing and needing to be settled throughout the night (he had only just started sleeping through the night before this happened). However, he's also fighting a cold right now, which might be to blame for some of this. In any case, I don't see any signs from his brother, L, that he's ready to transition to 1 nap.
I guess my questions are, do I wait until J is over his cold before deciding to drop the catnap? And what do I do if J is ready for one nap, but L isn't? I'm not sure it's realistic to have them on completely different nap schedules.
Thank you!
