11 month old schedule messed up

[Hllndr15]

Hello, 1st time mom here. My son is almost 12 months old and I try to keep him on a schedule but 4am wake ups throw everything out the window. 2nd nap of the day is aweful. Tried on and off to get him to sleep. For whatever reason he can't stay up past 2, maybe 2 and a half hours between naps. I know this is when a sleep regression occurs, but I'm not getting much sleep as I have sleep problems. Help!!

On a very early wake up like that, I'd add in an extra nap rather than over-extend awake time.

You don't say how long does naps for, but if it was 1h then go right example:

• 4am wake. Try to resettle but if impossible then...

6-7am nap 9.30-10.30am nap 12.30-1.30 nap 4-5pm nap 8-8.30pm ish bedtime

The late bedtime to push the night sleep later and hopefully discourage the very early wake up.

I added an extra nap but he likes to sleep over an hour on that early nap so I have to wake him otherwise it messes everything else up. The next nap would be around 930-10. Maybe. Last night he actually slept from 630-almost 7. I feel it's too good to be true. Do you think feeding him closer to bedtime might work?
