Almost 12 month old early waking

[foreverchangingnappies]

My LO (nearly 1) has been having 1 nap a day for a while now. Was waking at 7, 3 hour nap 11-2ish then bedtime 6.30-7ish. Was sleeping through the night fine.

However the past couple of weeks he's been waking between 4-5am and is awake for a full 2 hours until he settles again.

Any advice? Should I shorten his nap so he has 2 a day again? Or do I ride it out assuming it's a regression and hope he starts to sleep later again?! Any advice is greatly welcomed 😴

12 months seems really young to be on one nap. I know they’re all different. I can see it’s tricky if he sleeps three hours though, but I’d probably aim for two.

My youngest gave up on naps during the day when she was really young. Maybe try cutting them down a bit.
