Napping chaos!!!

Looking for some advice!

we have a seven month old son who has always been an amazing sleeper. Three days ago we swapped him from 3 30 minute naps a day ( only this short because he will not sleep through more than one sleep cycle!) to 2 naps a day where he has been taking approximately 90 minute naps. We did this because his windows were getting longer and because we were told, we should start transitioning him to less naps a day. However, he has now stopped sleeping at night and he’s waking up between three and five every morning!

He has just cut his first tooth, so I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it, but I am just wondering if anybody else is having the same problem or how many naps the children are taking? Today, I’m going to put him back on three naps a day to see if that makes a difference, but it’s just a guessing game at this point!

I think it’s hard as all children are different. We for example didn’t move our baby to two naps until she was around 9months and she naturally just dropped a nap which did it. If your baby slept through the night with the three naps I would see no reason to change it yet.

I'd try going back to 3 naps and see if he starts sleeping at night again Wink
