Lunch nap too short

We've just dropped our nap (most days) we usually have an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. We usually wake up by about 730, nap about 10-11 ish then nap again about 2/230 for another hour then bed when he's tired usually 7/730pm

We had to push to extend the wake windows a little bit just making sure to keep him nice and active during them then lots of singing and stories to keep him stimulated even when he's tired towards the end

How did you notice your baby was ready for 2 naps?

His wake windows were pushing longer, currently about 3/3.5 hours but easily 4 in the evening so we just had to adjust a little bit and change how we stimulated him during the wake windows so get it a bit more of a routine! It's definitely not foolproof but its definitely been working better!

My 7mo is only a 30-40 minute napper and normally twice a day. She naturally dropped her 3rd nap as she would fight for so long that we gave up. If we go out, she sometimes has a short 3rd car nap. The only time she ever sleeps longer that 40 mins is if she's got up at like 5am and then her first nap will be about 2 hours. This is very rare as she's usually a 7-7 sleeper

@federica for us, he was fighting the last one and became too late in the day between that and bedtime
