Capping morning nap

My little girl is 8 months and is on 2 naps a day. She normally has a longer morning nap and shorter afternoon but recently I’ve had to wake her up from her afternoon nap as it’s getting too late and she goes to bed at 6.45pm. She’s so moody when I wake her up I feel so bad! Does anyone else wake their LO one up after 45 mins for morning nap then allow longer for afternoon? I feel this might help then we can bring her afternoon nap a little forward and let her sleep longer 🤷🏼‍♀️

We switched up our little girls naps to a shorter one in the morning and longer in the afternoon - we had early wakes and i read this helped. We let her sleep for 45 mins to an hour in the morning and then 1hr 15 to 1hr 30 in the afternoon. She wakes up happy on both, is ready for bed without being miserable and no more early wakes - so it was definitely the right decision for us 😊

Our baby has up to 2 hours in the morning then 30 mins in the afternoon and he’s happy after both x

My little girl is on 2 naps also! She has around an hour and a half in the morning & a half hour nap in the afternoon which lasts her until bedtime!

How do you wake up her? I switch the lights on and let him wake up naturally otherwise he’s soooo cranky

I aim for 3 hours day sleep, either at 2 x 90 mins or 1 hour am and 2 hour pm. I use her morning nap as the lead. I do wake her if needed for either nap. After each nap she has milk in her straw cup and a snack. Always helps haha

@Laura I do the same! But she’s like mum go away 🤣
