8 month old has one nap

[Cruncheyleaves]

My 8 month old gets up at 7:30am naps at 11am for an hour and a half. Doesnt nap in afternoon. Goes to bed at 7pm. If I put him down for a nap in the afternoon he will nap easily but he will be restless at night and/or wake at 4/5am for the day.

This seems so early to be on one nap a day.

The only milk he has now are 7oz before bed. And 2x 6oz in the night. If that makes a difference. In the day he has 3 meals and one snack.

Do you think I should I continue with this? Or get him to have a nap in afternoon and put up with the worser night.

Thanks 🙏

Anyone? Or I'll have to post on AIBU 🤣

It is very early to be only napping once but they're all different and if he's happy and getting the recommended hours of sleep then I wouldn't worry. If you're finding he's getting miserable towards the end of the day have you tried letting him sleep but only for half an hour say? I think whatever works for you both is fine x

Yes even if he has a 30 minute nap he then had a bad sleep at night. 🤷‍♀️

My youngest was like this. Being my second child I just went with the flow. From about 7/8 months he would sleep his 11am nap for well over 2 hours, sometimes 3. So I didn't bother with afternoon nap

Maybe it's a second child thing!
