My 17 month old is SUPER sensitive to becoming overtired. When will he outgrow this?
If we miss, or even have a shorter nap, for just one day, we are guaranteed an early waking (4:00am-ish)
For example, yesterday, he slept from 7:00pm-7:30am. A solid 12.5 hours. During the day, however, he only got a 50 minute nap from 11:00-11:50am and then 20 minute nap from 3:00-3:20pm. Because we knew he was short on naps, we put him down at 6:30pm last night and, just like clockwork, he was up at 4:30am.
Why do some babies just roll with the punches and seem not to be affected by overtiredness and my little guy can't even have a shortened nap? When will he outgrow this?
