Heat making him sleepy

Is it possible the heat today is making my little one a bit sleepy? He went down for a reluctant nap at about half 1 slept until 3.15 which I was expecting he skipped a nap this morning so he was tired earlier than usual. Changed and fed him and about 5 ounces into his bottle he fell fast asleep again. Now the good thing is he should wake up when he normally wakes up from his afternoon nap but he's not only woken up for a change and feed during the day in quite a while. He's not hot or anything I've got him in a t-shirt and trousers at the moment as it's 22 degrees inside my house just was wondering if anyone else has had this today. He was very cranky before his big nap took about 45 minutes to calm him down enough to get him to sleep and he did wake up a bit late this morning

My baby has been having terrible naps all day so not sure. She's only managed 15 minutes for her morning nap.

@Loren his morning one was less than half an hour, usually he has about 30 minutes at 9ish an hour at about 12ish and then goes down from half 2 to half 4/5 for his big nap but he went from when he woke up at half 7 to half 10 and then from 10.50 till half 1 so he was very angry

Mine has been a bit grouchier than normal and I think it's because he's getting tired before we realise too! I'm panickingggg about the heat 😅 he's in a sleeveless vest, t shirt and shorts but not sure if it's actually too much!

They sleep deeper when they're warm.. so perhaps it will make them sleep longer?

Might just be one of those days! It can definitely make them sleepier, even if they’re physically not too warm - as long as he’ll eat when he’s up and regular nappies I wouldn’t worry too much! 22 is quite warm, especially when these winter babies won’t be very used to it x

@Jess definitely unfortunately my house faces the sun all day so it heats up unless I keep all the curtains and blinds closed and live in darkness lol

@Loren could be that makes sense I would have thought the bus driver clearly with nothing to lose would have woken him up this afternoon but nope

Mines been sleeping a magority of the day so I think it depends how they are xx
