This may sound like a stupid question. Currently my 9 month old is following these wake windows: ~2.75-3/3.5/~3.5-3.75.

Wake time is 7am

Nap 1: ~9:50-11:20am

Nap 2: ~2:50-3:55pm

Bedtime: in the crib by 7:30pm, but takes 10ish mins to fall asleep. He is sleep trained and can fall asleep independently.

Sometimes naps are shorter and I start doing wake window math to determine the next time he has to sleep again. But I was wondering if I'm following a by the clock schedule, do I need to do that?

Say if he wakes from his first nap after 30mins and it ends around 10:20am instead of 11:20am. Does his next nap start at 1:50pm? Or do I wait until his regular 2:50pm?

Thanks!
