So 9.5 month old DS has never been a great sleeper. He's currently waking twice a night on a good night, which is the best it's ever been and we're quite happy with. But he's also started waking up ridiculously early, sometimes 5am. I know he's still tired as he'll go back to sleep on me or DP if we hold him, but he won't go back to sleep in his cot, even if I give him a boob feed. I'm just wondering if he's napping for too long during the day? He sleeps for around an hour and 40 mins in the morning (9.15am-just before 11am), and then at least an hour and a half in the afternoon at around 2pm-3.30. I have to wake him up sometimes if he's still sleeping close to 4pm, as he then won't go down easily at bedtime (7pm). All these naps are on me btw- he won't sleep for long in the cot. Could this be interfering with his night sleep, particularly the early wakings? Or any other suggestions about how we can get him to sleep later in the morning- he was doing til 6.15am which feels like a lie in now....
