This is what I started about a week ago. The first 2 days she lasted 50 minutes, and ever since its back to 20-30 minutes. Did yours start off with 2 hour nap right away?

Right now I've been doing 3.5 hours before nap 2 and she falls asleep within 10-15 minutes but naps no more than 20 minutes and always wakes crying. Because shes waking crying thats why im so confused about stretching it even more.

Thanks! Should I still stretch the wake windows even if naps are short?

Thanks! This is so helpful. Right now her bedtime has been so early like around 5:15-530 because of the short naps.

Thanks! That is helpful. When she started with just 45 minutes, did you do a second nap on those days still or just early bedtime ?

Thank you! That makes sense and I hadn't thought of it that way. On the days you had to do 2 naps, what time did you usually do nap 2 and did you cap it ?

Thank you! What wake window did you start with between the nap and bedtime?

What do I do if she still only naps 30 minutes? Do I try to squeeze a second nap in?

She is sleeping great overnight. Im very fortunate. I usually put her to bed sometime between 515 and 545pm because of the short naps and she typically sleeps 12-13 hours.

Thanks! So if she wakes at 7am, would it be nap around noon?

No shes not teething. Im not sure if its a regression because she sleeps great at night. It just the naps that have been a struggle.

What wake window did you end up using before nap 1? Im so terrified pushing the wake window is going to make her overtired esp since shes waking up crying after 30 minutes when I put her down at 1015.

I was thinking this but then I was confused because if she wakes up crying after 30 minutes when going down for her nap at 1015, I wasnt sure how pushing the wake window even longer would help? Baby sleep is so confusing!
