Is anyone else having trouble??

Question

I’m having a really hard time trying to get my son to transition from 3 naps to 2. He has started waking up a lot at night and at 5 am, so I’ve chalked it up to too much daytime sleep. 
The problem is that he gets really fussy and tired after being awake 2 hours. I don’t know how to extend this kid’s wake time!!

Answer

My 8 month old has been waking between 4:30-6:30 and once he wakes, he doesn't go to sleep. 😣 He has gone back to doing 30 minute naps... sometimes even 26! i did an early-ish bedtime after 2 naps about 3 hours apart and am preparing to just be up early again with him.  :/ Does your LO get fussy no matter the activity? I've heard going outside, visiting new places, water/sensory play can help babies have fun even if they're getting a little sleepy... good luck... we are all in a similar situation!

Answer

So my son dropped his on his own. He was a solid every 2 hour napper, then one day he just stayed up a little longer after each nap and fought me when I tried to put him down. Within a week he dropped the midday nap (naps around 10 and 2:30 now) 
So maybe wait and see if he’ll do it on his own? I know worst advice ever but it may work

Answer

We are in the sane boat but when I put him to bed early he is up in only an hour or so and it takes another hour or so to get him back to sleep.

Answer

My kid's wake times sucked too, and then they suddenly exploded! Then he was fighting 3rd nap really hard, like 20min of crying/fussing for only 30min of sleep. I felt like it wasn't worth it so I just dropped it. Now we are using a 2/3/4h wake time schedule and so far it's working well. If naps suck then he gets early bedtime. 
From everything I've read, early wake ups usually mean they are overtired. Some babies just need that 3rd nap longer than others. Hope this helps a bit :)

Answer

Following, my son does the same thing. He’s been waking up around 4:30 am instead of his usual 6 am wake up time.
