[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you post DS's schedule?[/quote]

OP here. DS wakes anytime between 6:30-7am. I play with him then offer breakfast.

1st nap starts btwn 8:30-9am. He was sleeping until 9:50-10am after CIO, but now he's getting up 30min into his nap and wailing.

We play more, lunch at 11:30-12, and 2nd nap at 12:30-1pm. He wakes 40min into his nap but I let him CIO so he sleeps another 30-45 min.

He's still needing a 3rd nap so he sleeps for only 30min at 4pm.

Dinner and 6oz bottle beginning at 5pm. Bedtime routine starts at 7:30. Definitely to bed at 8pm. He barely cries for his bedtime sleep.

To the other PPs: no paci. I tried for months but he won't take it. No lovey, I slept with multiple stuffed animals in my shirt for days, and next to me during nursing but he didn't take to any of them. Re teething. The dic said at the 6mo appt that he's teething but no signs of them coming. Gums aren't hard nor red or swollen.

What's going on?? [/quote]

I am the one who asked for the schedule - my daughter has gone through phases like this.  It sounds to me like he had a couple of rough days and is now overtired.  Especially if naps are bad, bedtime might need to be earlier - I would shoot for 6:30, in bed by 7 at the latest. Your schedule otherwise looks good, just remember to make bedtime earlier if naps are bad.  It might be that he's so tired from the bad naps that nighttime sleep is disturbed, and the whole cycle is just out.  Try an earlier bedtime for a few days and see if it helps.[/quote]
