Thank you for your replies
Yesterday we had another short 30 minute am nap. LO fell asleep again on the school run, arghhh! I put him down for his pm nap after 2.5hrs activity time. It was about 2.3/4 hrs by the time he went to sleep. He had 1 hour! So reducing the activity time between the two naps did work as you suggested. By evening, he was full of cold and had a fitful night sleep.
Despite LO being so tired he didn't fall asleep on the school run today and kept refusing his am nap. He eventually went to sleep after 4hrs activity time and only had 20 minutes. He was definitely OT and his cold isn't helping matters
I gave him 1.3/4 hrs activity time and he only had 30 minutes on his 2nd nap. Too be honest he was rubbing his eyes from only about 1hr activity time when he was eating his lunch. We went for a walk in the stroller after he woke from his short nap and he didn't go back to sleep but at least he was resting....
Realistically his naps won't get back on track until his cold improves, bless him.
If LO does eventually have a morning activity time of 3.5 / 4 hrs before his first nap, how long should the am nap be? I am just wondering how it all fits in with a pm nap when having to do a school pick up at 3pm?
