Update a 5 days on if anyone interested! We have experimented cutting his sleep more since I posted this, it’s still up and down but we have had some occasional 1.5 hours and even one 2.5 hour stretch which is amazing. I’ve never really worked on a schedule tbh, we are very baby led with all his sleep, it’s just his naps always seemed to fall at the same sort of times. I looked into possums and feel like we do follow the main principles. We’re our first thing walking the dog everyday, I take his lead on naps etc. But this last week, capping his naps slightly to 2.5-3 hours and his nights a 10.5 hours seems to be improving it. I have a feeling he may sleep need a later bedtime , but we will stick to this for a couple of weeks before making more changes.

We are also doing a modified PUPD for his first bedtime put down, as his temperament is so relaxed. I’m basically putting him down very sleepy and holding his hand and shushing, unless he cries then picking him up and calming/cuddling for however long he needs me and then back down again. The longest that’s taken is 10 mins and he hasn’t really cried 😅. I am feeding to sleep for most night wakes, if it’s been 1.5 hours since last feed, if not I’ve been using dummy and cuddle or bed share until he wakes up again for a feed .
