Nap Ending Early ?

[anonnancy]

Advice on what you do when your baby’s first nap ends earlier than usual? For the past few weeks my 7.5 month old has been napping for 1-1.5 hours for his first nap... then 2 hours after lunch and another cat nap around 4pm, bed at 7.

This morning he woke after 30 mins which hasn’t happened for ages! He still seemed tired and despite my best efforts of resettling he just wasn’t having it. Do I carry on with the day as usual and put him down for his next nap when I usually would or would you put him down early? 🥴 🤷🏼‍♀️!

I should note that for the past 2 days he refused his 3rd cat nap so was awake for ages (I’m talking 4 hours awake!) but has slept through the night 6:30-6....

I'd see if he can manage through to normal naptime (he might just be needing less sleep), but if he can't then put down for the nap earlier and hope for a longer lunchtime nap.

Thanks Fate! He was up at 5:30am today and I couldn’t resettle yawn so our routine is out again today! Managed to stretch him out to 8am before I put him down for his first nap, if he sleeps for a decent amount I’ll try and stretch him again for his second nap to try and get us back on track!
