My LO is 6 months next Sunday and I feel like hes already transitioning from 3 naps to 2 and its worrying me that he isn't getting enough sleep
Example today he woke up at 8 and resisted sleep till 12! If I wake him up now at 2pm he will be awake till about 3/4 he will then go down for another nap till about 6 and then bedtime at 8!
This is the first time its happened and im actually concerned!
Any advice would be appreciated

That would be like 16 hours of sleep which is a lot at this age. I'd suggest capping naps shorter, maybe starting the day a little earlier & push bedtime later. But maybe he is ready to drop to 2 if he can cope with 4 hours awake. Most babies aren't ready til 7-10 months but some are earlier, particularly if they are independent sleepers. https://huckleberrycare.com/blog/6-month-old-sleep-schedule-and-development
Thank you so much for that he can happily do a 4 hour wake window most days
I will try with a earlier wakeup and later bed time x

Actually here's the 7 month post as that actually addresses dropping to 2 naps in case it is helpful. https://huckleberrycare.com/blog/7-month-old-sleep-schedule-and-development

I saw this on Instagram the other day and hopefully it will help you too x

definitely needed to see that! Thank you x

My 6 month old is only napping about 2.5hrs per day. Every baby is different and wake windows are just averages, and not a research based concept so I would not stress. Tomorrow is another day and just do what works for you and your baby ❤️

My 6 month old has dropped to 2 naps
thank you so much he has actually gone down for his morning nap today! So think it was just a one off!
