I am writing about my 11 month old little guy. I had him on the 9am and 1pm nap routine for a while, successfully. He would go to bed around 6ish and sleep great through the night till 7ish.
Then he started fighting the naps, especially the morning one, but usually I would only get him to nap once per day.
Now he usually naps at 10:30 for 1.5 hrs and won't take a second nap, is miserable all afternoon, crashes in the car (he has never done that), goes to bed around 4:30-5pm, is completely overtired. And now he's waking at night and early morning waking but still tired. It seems like we're caught in a downward spirral...
I was thinking a nap at 10:30-12:00 then maybe a second nap at 3-4:30 with a 7ish bedtime might work. But how do I get him taking a second nap again?? Do you think he needs one nap or two?? Should I create a schedule for him and just stick it out for the next week??
Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling very stressed out and frustrated...
