Hello!
So last night my little boy slept through the night for probably the third time ever (he is 8 months). He goes to bed at 7/7:30pm depending on when his last nap finished. He usually wakes in the night around 2:30-3:30 for a feed. I have been attempting night weaning for this feed as I think he is doing it out of habit more than hunger. He has been having 3oz for the last few nights and will self settle back to sleep within 5-10 minutes and will then sleep until 6:30/7.
Last night he slept 7pm-5:30 and then woke up for the day. I managed to settle him back down from 6-6:30 and he’s just had his first nap which was 08:45-10:15.
Should I be cutting this nap short to try and prevent his early waking in the morning? He can only really stay awake 2.5 hours at the absolute max between naps so if I wake him say after 45 minutes (so today would have been 09:30, I don’t think he would even make it to lunchtime before needed his second nap?
Just totally confused as to what I should be doing to help him get to that magical 7-7!
Just to add his total napping adds up to around 3-3.5 hours a day
Thank you all! X
