[quote=Anonymous]My 8 month old appears to be dropping a nap. He just refuses to sleep at all for that third nap. My problem is days like today. He woke up super early (5:20, he usually wakes up closer to 7), and would not go back to sleep. He napped from 8:30-10 and 1-2. I put him down at 4:30 hoping he’d take a short nap, but no dice. So now, if I don’t want him to be up 5 hours and way over tired, I have to put him to bed at 6 (usual bed time is 7). This seems like it would just reinforce the early waking. But at the same time, I’m worried the 5ish wake ups are happening because he’s getting over tired. So my question is, for anyone who helped their 8 month old drop a nap, how did you do it? What did the schedule look like? If they woke up early from nap #2, what did you do? Somehow the math just doesn’t add up for two naps. If they are only napping 2-3 hours a day, but can only be awake 2-3 hours at a time, how is it possible for them to only take 2 naps?[/quote]
