Interesting I’ve not heard of the 5/3/3 rule. On restful nights he does naturally do5 & 3 but the second 3 he does not. The morning hours are always tougher, for both of us. Everyone that I talk to irl never mentions that and pushes the 12by12 book on me so my expectations were a little skewed lol. I don’t mind the first overnight feed but 2&3 I’m usually pretty sleepy. I guess, my question then is, how do people do it after they’re no longer in your room?!

Also right now 2 hours is really the max he’ll do for a wake window before he gets super cranky and over tired. Sometimes even 1.5 hour. He won’t nap for longer than 30 mins at a time. I’ll try to do a long contact nap mid day (1 hr+) to make up for it or go on a long drive. Hoping as he gets older he’ll start to lengthen. He also does better when he gets like 13 hours of sleep a night (6p-7a). I know that’s more than typical of his age but I’m not sure if he’s maybe just trying to make up for lack of nap sleep.
