So after his am nap being only 35 mins, I still kept him up 3.5hrs, seemed pretty tired, but he only still slept 1 hour! Do you think I should increase his A time tomorrow?

Hmm,we've increased quite a lot haven't we? Remind me what A we started at?

How's his mood when he's waking after the short nap? I'm presuming he's getting pretty grumpy by the end of the day? Did you do EBT? If so, how did it go? X

we've started at 3hrs, now doing 3 for the first nap and 3.5 for second one. When he woke today from both naps he was fine, playing in the cot, not crying. We went out and he fell asleep, so I let him for about 15/20 mins 5.10/5.25ish. Put him down at 6.30 as he was acting tired, didn't go to sleep till 7, after a little crying in the end, could be hot though...

It is boiling today isn't it?!

Ok, let's increase again slightly. I'd add 15mims onto the first one and perhaps 15mins onto the second. We know he's capable of doing longer naps. I would also medicate with ibuprofen 20mins before the nap to rule out teething is waking him up during the transition to the next sleep cycle.

The reason I'm thinking an increase is that it's quite a long A after a short nap to then still only do an hour nap. Little monkey, thinking he might be like mine in that he can do a full A time after a short nap  ;) ::) x

I know, I was really surprised that he could stay up so long, I really thought he would be dead tired  :o
I think I'll try 10 mins increase and see how he sleeps in the morning; what is the average A time for 9 months? 3.5-4hrs?

Really ranges from now hun, can be anything from 3-4hrs.

Mine was doing 4hrs 15mins first A at 8.5mo! Xx

Eta .. If he starts hitting 4hrs ish, we're in 2-1 territory   :o. Funny considering the title of this thread  ;D x

Oh no, I'm not ready for 2-1  :o

Yesterday bt was 7ish, stirred from 4.30am for a bit, then awake at 5.45 (could be worse). Then it's been like this:
A time 3h10
S 8.55- 10.10
A time 3h35
S 1.45-2.20  >:(

I couldn't keep him up any longer before his second nap, was rubbing his eyes a lot and starting to cry. Now it's too hot, there's no way I'm going out to give him another quick nap in the stroller! Will keep him up till 6 and see.
I'm getting a bit frustrated again, but I guess I need to give it another two days to see if he adjusts to the A time

Keep with it hun, we'll get there. Don't be too frustrated, he's getting a decent amount of sleep in 24hrs and you're doing everything you can. How's it been today? X

Thanks Kellyjs, you're right, nothing else I can do!
Yesterday in the end bt was 6.10, slept till 5.50ish, so not bad, although he did wake around 3am for a bit and back to sleep by himself.
So this morning nap 9-10.10.

ETA:
update: afternoon A time 3.45h, nap 45 mins  ???

Today was better, morning nap 1.35 (A time 3.15) and I had to wake him! PM nap 1.10 after A time of 3.40is. He didn't go down at bt though, not sure if he was OT or he's teething (he did wake during the night the last two nights, no crying but was awake for quite a while), so we gave Calpol!
I'll keep the same A times tomorrow or slightly longer I think and see what happens.

Thanks again and have a great day tomorrow! xx

Had another quite good day yesterday, A time 3.15, nap 1.15, A time 3.35, nap 1.20. Today A time  3.15 (I was going to do 3.20, but DH put him down earlier!), nap 1.15, then A time 3.40, nap 30 min  >:(

It's been four days in a row now with no catnap and I'm not going back, I don't know if it's making any difference  ???
