My son just turned 8 months and I feel like his naps have suddenly changed and I don’t know what I’m doing! It used to be that when he started acting a bit fussy (after 2 hours awake) I’d put him down for a nap and he would fuss a little bit and often I’d have to put his pacifier back in a time or two and then he’d fall asleep after a bit. Now he’s just acting fussier in general, I can’t gauge when he’s ready for a nap so I take a shot in the dark and try to put him down and he screams like he’s in pain until I eventually give up and just get him up. Anyone else experiencing this have any tips? He has started pulling up to standing so I make sure to give him lots of time to practice that during awake time.

Same here 🥺🥺 I was thinking maybe a sleep regression! Also my daughter naps lately are so short (45 min) and wakes up often at night crying so I guess it’s a normal thing for 8 months since she is also going’s thru separation anxiety

Try doing 3/3/3 or 2.75/3/3.25-50 wake windows. 2 naps a day for that age .

Example:
Wake up 7am
Nap 1 - 9.45am-
Nap 2 - 2.15pm
Bedtime 7pm
