My 6.5 month old has become a different baby in the last few days, we’ve moved him into his own room in his cot. We’ve spent some time in there playing in the daylight, and a few naps here and there, before transitioning him over so he knows the space.
Every time I put him down for a sleep either nap or night sleep, following his wake windows which are normally 2-2.5h, he just plays and rolls around in his cot for up to an hour - though he seems happy most of the time (a bit whingy) but he’s definitely tired!
This afternoon he refused his early afternoon nap and stayed awake for just over 4 hours before finally conking out on me.
Do I need to extend his wake windows? As if I do that i dont think we will get 3 naps in during the day… I thought babies often dropped to 2 naps a bit later than this age?
I may have tried to run before I can walk, moving him into his own room and trying to go cold turkey on contact naps all in a few days… he’s usually such a good sleeper that this is really getting me down as he’s like a different baby.
I am just getting so frustrated that I’m not doing enough - even though I know that’s not the case, he is interacted with and played with constantly when he’s awake, he’s fed and changed so he’s not hungry when he naps. Is there anything I can be doing?
