LO just woke up happily at 5am… yesterday we did 1 nap for the first time. She’s 13 months. Had woken at 6:45 that morning. Nap from 11:50-2 (woke on own) and then bed at 7:10. She honestly did great during it. I had a feeling that she might wake up early because she tends to not have long nights (usually 10 hours) and her total awake time had been getting really long like 12 hours+. I switched because she was getting overtired and started freaking out overnight with the longer total awake. She was on 3.25/4/4.25, total nap time about 2-2.15 and waking around 5:30 happy. When she did 3.5/4/4.5 that’s when she started the freak outs at 3am.

Question is, do I do 1 nap again or do a 2 nap day? I’m thinking 2? I don’t know what her schedule should be though so any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!

LO will be 13 months tomorrow. She’s been waking up between 5 and 5:40 most days now, maybe an occasional 5:55. Most of the time she’s just whined and then rolls around on and off/sits up. It’s never a hard cry. I’ve tried letting her go until 6:15 which I can live with but she still keeps waking up at those times.

She goes to sleep independent for naps and bed but she had been fighting her second nap and bedtime. I don’t even know what her first wake window technically is so I’ll guess 3.25. Second and third were 3.75/4. Added 15 to the last 2 for 4/4.25 and she stopped fighting. Bedtime is no later than 8. First nap is about 1hr15-1hr30 where I normally have to wake her up. Second nape is 45-1hr where again I have to wake her. She’s been good at napping since 4 months. Overnight has been the issue but definitely better than what she used to be.

My question is, is she overtired and I adjust her wake windows? I just don’t know if she’ll fall sleep if she goes down earlier since she normally rolls around for 20 minus at least if I do. I’m nervous to try 1 nap. Not sure if she’s ready yet and she’d become even more overtired. Any advice and suggestions are appreciated!
