Nap
Hello, at what time are your babies having their nap? I’m trying to drop to one nap because my baby is refusing his second nap or sleeping only for 30min and waking up at 5 am every day. I’m exhausted but I’m struggling with only one nap because he’s tired very early at around 9-10am so his last wake window would be of 7-8h what I think is too much. Do you have any advice? His bed time is at 7:30-8pm and wakes up at 5am (he used to sleep until 7:30am before). Thanks xx

He will adapt! Try stretching the morning window with some activities, for us that was the key challenge as first window was only about 3-3.5hrs, 6-6.5 for the second was never an issue. It was painful at first as sometimes we would need to go from 11 till bedtime at 6.30 but adapted after a week or so and first window is easily 4-4.5 hours now, second one can go up to 7.5hrs easily 😀
I'm in this too. I feel like this nap transition will actually never end 😭

When we first moved to 1 nap we were in the same boat , wake somewhere between 5 and 6, short morning nap and skipping afternoon nap. We just took the hit and accepted an earlier bedtime for a while , she didn't wake any earlier than she had been and after a few days we were able to start pushing bedtime further back and she started waking later Now we're up to a 7am wake, 12:30pm nap and an 8pm bedtime. Was a gradual process, and a pain at times.
