Waking in night again

[Haribo2012]

How did the night end up being?

I'm lucky with DS2 as in he will CN and have a long nap still or just one nap or lots of CN if we're out and about and doesn't massively bother him but DS1 at this age I had to be set on nap at 11.30/12 no matter what time WU or he wouldn't nap.

If he won't CN then I think really you need to try setting the nap about 11am regardless of EW to try and balance your day.?

He stayed awake for abou t about and half crying on off 😩

Hon being honest I wouldn't let him nap that long if he goes to sleep before 10:30/11:00z if he nods of at 9/10 wake him after less than 20min and offer a second nap.

Thanks girls your defo right so he's had two naps today I capped the first nap this morning and I've put him down for a second nap
Thanks girls I will defo keep it all
In mind and cut first nap and offer a second I would rather have earlier mornings then him waking crying from over tiredness x

[Haribo2012]

I generally do the short nap as he's keener to have that earlier and then go somewhere that involves lots of activity so he's ready for nap again x

Thanks girls well he's had two naps today does it matter the length of these naps like can he have two hour naps or does the first one have to be short ?
He seems reallt tired again this evening probably from last night I think he's teething to just hoping he sleeps tonight x

[Haribo2012]

I think it depends on your child, mine likes a good 1.5 restful nap so I make the other shorter but if. 2 hour ones work for you then fine x

I seem to be having to wake him from both naps after a hour tho I have to wake from first nap as he then won't take second and from second so he wil go to bed at bedtime x but he obv wants more sleep cuz he is stil sleeping x

[Haribo2012]

Sorry not been on are things improving x

[Martini~]

That's why I would strongly encourage you to wake him from the first nap very shortly after he statutes sleeping and let him do a longer second np without capping.

[Donnarobbo88]

Thanks girls he seems to be fine on the days he has two naps but cries in the night on one nap days and today was one of them he napped for 2 hours 15 and I should of woke him really Ino but was so busy he naps in his cot tho so should I wake him up after what 20 mins and then put him down for his second one and let him sleep as long as he likes ? X
Thanks girls x

[Martini~]

As said before it depends on his mood and nap time. If he woke early or is just tired in the morning And need a nap around 9/10am I would cap at 10/15/20min and do a proper nap later when you don't cap. If he is happy to go till 11 I wouldn't cap and go for 1nap day with bedtime at 6:30.

[Donnarobbo88]

Thanks Hun he slept fine last night right through till 6 after a one nap yday that nap was long tho will defo try what Uve said x
