I put him down at 10.45, too early... he only slept 1.05h  :( Then he had a 30 min in the pushchair around 3.10, bt 7.20 (asleep at this time). If for a kind of miracle he sleeps till 7 again, what time do you think I should put him down for his nap, he can definitely handle 4hrs A time and more now, but I'm not sure  how more as we've been doing set times for a while and it's hard to know. Sometimes he sleeps a lot after 4.30hrs sometimes he doesn't  ???

No worries! I think we are in the middle of teething, so won't push anything now... He woke at 6.05, then tried to get back to sleep, but couldn't (he had a poo) and up at 6.35. Then he was really tired, kept yawning, so when I put him down at 10.25 he slept for 1.10h and this afternoon he cried a bit before going down at 3.25, let him sleep longer and woke him at 4.15. Lots of crying after dinner, then calmed down, gave him drugs and went down really quickly at 7.20, will see what happens...

I'll probably come back when he's better I think  ;)

Hi there, hope you are well  ;D

The top teeth are taking ages!! >:( One is through, the other one very close and I think there will be a third one soon, although a smaller one, so might not be as bad. All in all he hasn't been too bad apart from a 4am wake once last week  >:(

I still have managed to push his am nap later, we are now at 11am, with a wu between 6 and 6.30. Second nap between 3.30 and 4, 30 mins max, often in car or stroller. Now, the am nap is not very long atm, it's been 1h05 or 1h20 at the most. I will leave it at 11am for few more days as we've just started, but dyt I should cut the cn shorter in order to get a longer one in the morning? the nights are generally fine, no nws or ews.

Argh hate it when teeth take ages. Did the shorter nap in the morning happen after you pushed the A time a little more or was it getting shorter beforehand hun? Xx

I need o double check, but I'm pretty sure it happened before. Yesterday and today we put him down at 10.55 and he slept 1h05 yesterday and 1h10 today  >:(

I checked and the last time he had a long am nap he went down at 10.25, but he had woke early and been awake for 4h50! before then he slept long even after only 4hrs A time  ??? I thought he started sleeping less when he started teething, but now he has done it for a good two weeks! The other day he fell asleep at 10.25 because we were out, put him in his cot when we got back and still only slept 1h and a bit. Should I back off and put him down at 10.30 or 10.45 again?

The reason I'm thinking is that for some bubbas 1hr 10mins nap can signal OT. It didn't for mine however, but quite a few I've helped on here have found that.

It could be because of the teething he can handle less A time atm. I think it might be worth giving the shorter A time a go tomorrow just to check and see? Worst case scenario is that you end up with 2 short naps and an EBT xx

I will give it a go and see what happens  ;D thanks!
Even if he only sleeps an hour or so, his pm nap is usually after 4hrs at the most, so still in time for a 7 bt. At the moment he's having 3hrs A time before bt and going down very quickly!

P.S. two teeth out on top for now, so hopefully we'll get a break for a bit?

Thanks! wu at 5.45 again today, 3rd morning in the last 4 days!  >:( I reckon it's because he's not getting enough daytime sleep, 1h40ish is not enough I don't think  ???  Will do a nap at 10.30, I'm not holding my breath though...
