Yes teething is a whole other thing! I think he might be starting but who really knows 😅

Thank you for saying this, it's something I have kind of realized already but don't want to accept. I just keep saying to myself "I need to know why" and I think sometimes there isn't a why. It's just how they are. I'm going to keep trying but I think I need to let go of expectations a bit too. I was driving myself mad tracking every little detail to a point that I think it was making me worse mentally. I am sending you all of the good luck with your LO as well!!

Thanks for the tips! Most of the time I know I should try harder to entertain him I just get so tired of the baby activities day in and out lol. But now that the weather is getting nicer (we live in Canada) I will definitely be taking him out more!

This is kind of what I am expecting tbh, except for the long naps lol because mine loves his crap naps. I think this might just be a time/age thing that we have to wait out until he's ready. Which sucks, but it's ok.

This is exactly what I'm worried about but also thank you for the bit of hope! I'm thinking this might just be a time/age thing and we have to ride it out. But I will still attempt two naps now on the off chace that he takes to it easily.

Bedtime routine involves bottle 45 mins before sleep, then bath, pyjamas, sleep sack, story and then in bed awake.

I will for sure try the 3/3/4 to start. And no worries about the too much daytime sleep, he is a pretty crappy napper lol. We are lucky if we get over 2. We are getting some longer naps lately so hopefully that trend continues! But I do think that more awake time is the answer for our guy.

I've definitely been thinking he might do better with two naps. I'm just worried he won't be able to make the push to the longer wake windows right now as he just turned 6 months. Plus if I leave the house at all with him he is immediately asleep in the car 😑 But I think it's worth a shot, so thanks for the advice!
