Would you wake LO up?

J's sleeping has been all mixed up for a few weeks. He is waking up earlier than usual and taking 2 very long naps during the day. His afternoon nap has been 2-2.5 hours which ends close to the 4:30pm mark. He goes to bed at 7:30pm and I'm wondering if this late nap is effecting his night time sleep since he has all of a sudden started waking at night again.

What would you do? Wake him earlier? Push bedtime later?

3 hours of wake time between the last nap and bedtime seems like a good amount actually. Can he do anything cool like pull up to stand? I've read some moms are having more issues with night wakings once they reach that stage.

Yes, he can pull to stand but he knows how to get down pretty easily. I'm hoping it is that, teething, anything! Glad to hear 3 hours is a good amount of awake time. I was wondering.

I agree with Hepcats - 3 hours is about N's limit for staying awake before needing a nap or going to bed.  Hopefully it's a milestone or teething and will pass quickly.

My DD sometimes gets up from a nap at 4 and goes to sleep at 6:15 so I don't think it is the nap time.  She did have a huge setback when she started teething and this led to some really bad habits.  She has since grown out of them so hopefully yours will too.  GL
