[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can’t move naps then I’d cap them to maintain some sleep pressure to get him solidly through the night[/quote]

No! Please don't do this. A tired baby has a harder time falling/staying asleep than a rested one. Keep the naps as they are - they are working for your sched and your baby needs them. [/quote]

Disagree. If he’s getting 2 naps, 2 hours each, that’s too much and could be leaving him not tired at night, hence all the wakings. OP could just be expecting too much sleep.[/quote]

OP. It’s usually more like 2-3 total hours of nap a day, if that helps. [/quote]

That’s not too bad. 3 might be a bit much but I’m wondering if he just needs more wake time. Check out Respectful Sleep Training/Learning group on Facebook. They recommend a 3/3.5/3.5 schedule at this age. His second nap and bed may just be too early. He could need the full 3.5 hours between naps and before bed.[/quote]

OP. Okay so just brainstorming here — I need him up by 2:45 for school pickup. He has to be in the car about 12-12:15 for preschool pickup.  He’s usually BUSHED by 9:15 because he’s up so early. I guess if I get him up from his nap like 10:30, then he goes down for the second one about 1:30 or 1:45, that might work? I hate to limit naps because I’ve always been a big Weissbluth sleep begets sleep fan but I’m willing to try anything. [/quote]
