Naps

Hello, my baby used to sleep until 6:30-7:30am and has 2 naps of around 2h in total. This week he has been fighting his first nap, I managed to put him to sleep but with some crying or complaining first. He has also been waking up at 5am in the morning. Can it be a sleep regression or maybe it is time to drop a nap? I feel is early to only have one nap but honestly I’m exhausted of waking up at 5am everyday 😞

How old is your baby? It could be a sleep regression. We're currently going through the 10 months one. The first one ever. So it's hit us hard. Not enough day naps and waking up through the night

He is also 10 months. If this is a sleep regression it would be the first one for us too. Honestly we are so desperate… Hopefully it doesn’t last long 🤞🏻 ❤️ xxx

Yeah, you're definitely going through one. Just be patient. Nothing to do about it unfortunately. I know, it's frustrating but it will pass eventually. Just try and get some sleep if he manages to have a day nap. They still need 2 naps a day.

Even 30 min will help you big time

Typical age range to drop to one nap is 14-18 months but what you are describing is signs that your LO may be ready - early morning wakes and fighting the nap. It could be a regression or he could be ready to drop a nap. What is his first wake window? He might just need a bit more awake time to be tired enough to nap.

@Neha his first wake window is of 3-3.5h. I am so confused, probably is a sleep regression but he’s not waking up in the night, he sleeps through but wakes up very early… At the same time I don’t know if he’s ready to only have one nap because I feel it is a lot time being awake for him. I don’t know what to think or do 🤦🏻‍♀️
