Hi Tarri
I seem to be following you around
Zander reacted the same at about the same age when he was ready to drop the catnap. Do you start your day at 5.30 when he wakes? I'd work on feeding him as soon as he wakes (not waiting until 6) and treating it as a night feed and then re-settling him so you're not enforcing that super early start to the day. He's going to be very tired in the afternoon if he won't take the catnap so he needs to learn that 5.30 is still night time so his naps fall later in the day. Is his room really, really dark so he's not seeing any daylight at that time of morning?
Easier said than done (I think most of us have been there
) so let us know how it goes.
