Help with 5mo schedule
Newly minted 5 month old, we moved from a 4-nap schedule (1.5/1.75/1.75/2/2) to a 3-nap schedule (1.75/2/2/2.25) one week ago. Since then, his daytime naps have shortened to 30-45 minutes and we often can't even rescue them anymore. Fights bedtime now and screams for 20-30 minutes before falling asleep, where he used to fuss quietly for maybe 1-2 minutes before sleeping. Is also waking up more overnight again (still eating 2x/night, but is waking up an additional 2x now, cries for a few minutes and will go back to sleep).
Now he keeps waking earlier and earlier every morning, where he was consistently waking at 7am, it's been moving back about 15 minutes every day, so bedtime is also creeping earlier and earlier, today was 6:10pm.
We switched nap schedules because he was consistently fighting the 4th nap and bedtime was getting pushed later and later, but now I feel like we broke him. He was well-rested and happy, and now he is just grumpy for a big part of the day.
Do we go back to 4 naps? We have the hardest time knowing if he is under or overtired, and are at a loss of where we go from here.
