Need help with nap/sleep schedule for 7.5 m old
My son is 7.5 months old and he naps beautifully during the day but wakes us up many times during the night (he wakes crying and needs his dummy or his hand hold for 30 seconds to continue to sleep).
I believe we may have a problem with his day schedule. According to Huckleberry he should be either on 3 naps schedule still (i think it fits his tiredness more) or 2 naps schedule with longer naps and wake windows.
The problem is my boy loves short windows and longer naps. He can easily have first nap of 2 hours then second 1.5 hours and usually have 3rd of 0.5h. According to Huckleberry with 3 naps schedule at this age he should have first 2 naps of only one hour each and last one 30 mins. Im not sure if thats good for him though to wake him up after 1h when his body asks for more??? I get rid of the feeling that would wrong him.
The problem with moving to 2 nap schedule is that he gets overtired after 2.5 or 3hours awake time.
I just dont know what to do. Ill add that he sleeps 11.5 hours at night (including short wakings). I do want his night sleep to improve so he wakes less but Im not sure if cutting his day naps is the right thing.
Please let me know what you think and if you had the same issue, what worked for you.
