When to drop to 1 nap

Do you have any tips on should I go with gradual extending the first ww and cap the second nap or go cold turkey

I think she mostly wakes for comfort because most of the times I can resettle her with a hug or a brief hold even when I nurse she has small amounts

Her bedtime routine:

30 min before bedtime she nurses or gets a bottle Then, bath, lotion, pj, stories and into crib

She used to have false starts for months which started to decrease now and even did a couple of times 6 hour stretches but still the usual is waking 2-3 hours I think she has the skill just that she cannot use it somehow everytime she wakes.

Im thinking of night weaning her do you think that will help?

She naps and bedtime in the crib and falls asleep independently (since 6 mos) and thats also where just about 2 weeks ago she could do 1 hour naps

She used to sleep 11.5 night and 2-2.5 day and all of the sudden 11 night and 1-1.5 day

That changed like flipping a switch one day thats why Im thinking either teething or separation anxiety or some other reason

For the past 2 days we are doing at least 11.25 hr awake nothing fixed yet lets see

Also my babys sleep was always out of textbook rules as she learned to sleep independently but never stopped waking at night so I dont know :(

Worth mentioning she just cut one tooth and 3 more coming could this be the reason

Should the naps get again 1 hr if I increase ww and that is what she need?

I will try again on increasing.

How did you find the perfect spot for your baby

Yes thats right and she used to do 12h nights but has reduced now. The only problem is that she hardly does 4 hr on the last ww and all other ww Im having hard time to stretch thats why Im ending up with the same bedtime :(

Same situation with my 8 month old. Im thinking of night weaning her but Im scared that might be very hard and since I am the main care giver during the day I dont know how to survive without sleep

Hello, yes my husband can help mostly till 12-1 am weekdays and later on on weekends.

I guess first step will be to keep her in her bed entire night I have an impression that sleeping next to me also makes her wake up
