FTM mum here to a 13MO beautiful boy.
shouting out for help as I am stumped at what to do or what is going on.
since around 5/6MO he has slept like a champ for naps and over night up until the the start of NOV (he turned 1 1st of NOV)
he naps just went to shite so unpredictable and back to taking 30/40mins like a newborn when he use to take good 1hr+ naps for both. At first I thought it was due to him learning to walk and crawl the stairs as over a mass of a few weeks his has developed so much. But this last week he has been consistently been waking at 5/5.30am when he has never woke this early and nothing I try can get back to sleep as he is up and ready to start the day. So I then thought is he ready to drop to 1 nap I tried this for a few days a few weeks ago and it did not work as he would still only nap for 45mins. Do I try again with the 1 nap? I’m so confused as what is going on as he just gets more overtired as the day goes on. Last two weeks he has only been having 12.5hr sleep in a 24 hour period so I know his not having enough sleep overall.
not sure how I can transition him to 1 nap when he is waking so early at the moment.
suggestions please forgot to say he can self settle so it’s not a sleep association that’s a issue.
