Another nap push? 1-0 with almost 2.5 year old

[Mandy.kamal]

Our days were:
Up 7:00am
Nap 1:00-2:45pm
Bed 8:00pm, asleep by 8:15/30

I tried capping and that never went well so I let him nap fully until 2:45/3:00pm. Recently we are back to short naps, waking screaming, and crying NW and EW. It's only been 2 days of this so I'm wanting to catch it before he goes too deep and get into UT/OT mess.

Our last few days have been roughly:
Up 6:30 (lay until 7:00)
Nap 1:00/1:15-2:00 (about an hour and waking horribly upset)
BT 7:45 (8:00/8:30)
And then NW around 1:00 and 4:00am crying but resettles himself.

He did another 10 hour night last night and short nap today and woke screaming and won't resettle. I'll try for 7:15pm BT to keep day at 13hours. Once he does a good night, should I focus on shifting the nap forward to 1:30pm to hope for a longer, more well rested nap?

Hi there, are things still the same?

How old is LO now? I'd be trying a 12 hour day if naps is short to see if he's OT.x

Thank you for the reply. Yes, he was OT so I've been trying to keep his days at 13 hours max so I've been putting him to bed earlier to give him time to fall asleep. NW improved but he's waking earlier- I suppose from me putting him down earlier.

His nights are a little shorter than they were but overall things are back to okay. I'm going to slowly push nap to 1:30pm to get a better rested nap out of him

Sounds like a plan 

Fwiw my DS does EW when he's OT x
