My son has all of a sudden started boycotting his afternoon nap. He is 7 months. He used to nap around 9 (30-60 min), 12 (1.5-2.5 hours) and 3 (30-60 minutes). He’s also changed his sleep lengths. Here’s what he’s doing now

Up between 6:15-7

9-9:30 nap (1-1.5 hours)

12-12:30 nap (30ish minutes)

He flat out refuses to take a nap after that and it’s making bedtime a struggle because he gets really over tired. Some days he’s ready for bed at 6, others he doesn’t settle down until 7:30. Bedtime is usually 7.

Yesterday was particularly awful. He woke up from a nap at 1:15, refused to nap after that, and didn’t settle down for bed until 8. He woke up a couple times throughout the night which is unusual for him now, he normally sleeps straight through. He settled himself back to sleep without me having to go in but I’m wondering if maybe he woke up because he was so over tired when he went to bed?

Anyone else go through this? Is there a sleep regression around 7 months? He was premature so I’m never quite sure when he’s going to hit things other babies are experiencing. He’s right on track with his milestones for his age though.

This mama needs help. The no afternoon nap thing is killing me and making it hard to get dinner ready, etc.
