How many naps is your LO on?
If 1, what are their wake windows and how long are they sleeping?
We dropped to 1 nap in November, at first it was amazing and she was sleeping 7pm-7am. Nap would usually be 2hrs or longer, however lately the nap has shortened drastically- sometimes just 1 hour and night sleep has been so bad with multiple wake ups and difficulty settling back down.
Now im thinking i dropped her nap too soon. Trialling 2 naps again as night sleep has been awful since December. Anyone else in a similar boat?

We dropped to 1 at the end of December. She does 5-6 hour wake windows. There is a sleep regression around now x

My little girl on average does
8am til 1pm
Nap 1pm-3pm
3pm-8:30pm
If there’s a day she has a shorter nap she just stays awake until bed time and I’ll bring it forward slightly but usually not before 8pm, I don’t offer another nap etc.

7-7 is quite a long night for lots of babies, especially with a long nap, maybe they need a bit less sleep?
We wake around 6.30, nap 12-1.30 and bed 7.45/8! We would never reach more than 11 hours at night and find that earlier bedtimes either give us a big wake in the night or really early morning!

My son has never had big sleep needs, we dropped to 1 nap before he even was 1. Now he wakes up 7am, naps around 11.30-13.30 and bedtime at 9

Wake 6, nap 1.5 hours 11.30/12, sleep at 8.30/9
that makes sense. I was worried her last wake window was too long and she was overtired, but maybe its the opposite. Does your LO sleep through 7:45/8-6:30?

He either sleeps through or wakes once for a little comfort cuddle. It's the bedtimes as well I know my LO will fight and fight sleep if he isn't tired enough!

Little one goes to sleep 8pm, wakes at 7 30-8 30am. Has a nap around 1pm until 3pm. A few weeks ago she hit a regression and sleep was all over the place and only napped for 45 mins a few nights and woke all through the night, but just carry on doing what you’re doing, follow the same routine with extra support in the night if needed and little one should go back to normal after a week or so 😁xx

Seeing all these comments I feel like my little one should be on 1 nap , iv tried dropping to one twice over past few months but she kept having long stretches awake at night when I did , im scared to drop it again 🫠

Wakes at 7ish sometimes 8am, naps at 1.30pm ish for 25-70mins depending what we have done that morning and then goes down for the night around 7/8pm

We wake him up between 7-8 am latest and then nap is between 11-1 or 1-3pm depending on his mood. I always ensure he’s awake by 3pm to try and get asleep by 9pm latest. My son has always refused naps from around 6 months old and has super long wake windows (longest being 9hrs) he just won’t give in to them in pram/car or contact napping it’s an ongoing battle. 😅
