Naps 8 months old

My now 7 month old would have a nap at around 10, 1 and last one at 4 then goes to bed at 7 but he started being harder to put to sleep and was waking up around 5 so we’ve dropped the last nap and now he goes to bed fine again and is waking up between 7 and 8 x

How many naps is he taking? And how are his wake windows?
Are you looking to stop co sleeping?
Where does he usually nap?

Average wake windows we see at this age are 2-5 hours with the first wake window being 2-3 hours.

The 3-2 nap transition usually happens between 6-9 months

Hi, thank you!
He has about 3 naps - wakes up at 6:30am then usually naps around 9 then 12 then 4:30.. kind of the schedule but sometimes he only sleeps 15/30 min at once.
Yes i’m looking to stop co sleeping. He is usually in his cot by 8pm but struggles to fall asleep then awakes a few times and usually by midnight he sleeps with me or my partner so we can all get some sleep 🤦‍♀️
Naps are usually in cot or in our bed alone or pram….

He might be a cat napper and that’s ok! Consolidation around daytime sleep happens around 9 months.
If you want to have him in his cot, I would spend lots of time in there during the day, playing in there and showing him it’s a safe place to be. We want baby to release endorphins in the sleep space. Babies attach through the senses in the first year. So can always sleep on the cot sheets, your scent can bring him comfort ♥️
