Last Nap and Bedtime-7.5 month old

[Dexy2020]

Hi
Just wondering what time your 7.5 month old wakes from his/her last nap and when his/her bedtime will then be? It's getting harder to get my little one to have his 3rd nap so today we have decided to ditch it and the day has gone like this:
Wake up 5am (usual occurrence)
Nap 1- 7:20-8:35 (1hr 15mins)-Pram
Nap 2- 11:35-13:25 (1hr 50mins)-Cot
Bedtime- 18:10pm
He did really well to stay awake 4hrs45mins however he woke up at 18:45 which he very rarely does then went back to sleep at 19:15 after some crying/wingeing I'm guessing maybe overtiredness?? Xx

Yes, waking after one sleep cycle/40 mins is classic overtiredness. I’d try and keep the gap between last nap and bedtime no more than 4 hours, which is tricky with the early wake up time but maybe just try to add 10-15 mins between wake/first nap and again between first nap/second nap which should shove the end of the second nap 30 mins later without stretching the last awake window too far and see if that helps.

@FizzingWhizzbee123 I thought it may be bless him, he was up at 4:45am this morning and he's gone back down at 07:15 couldn't stretch him any longer he was so tired 😴😴 will see how his naps fall today as the length of them is very hit and miss, probably needs more persevering with his 3rd nap until either his awake time lengthens a bit or he starts getting up a bit later maybe? As you say it's difficult as pretty much on 13.5/14hr days at the moment with the early wake ups. Thank you for your reply 🥰🥰xx
