Schedule Check Please!

6 - 12 months

**DISCLAIMER: My baby is a *low sleep need baby* who has a *total* sleep need of 12 hours.**

I’m usually pretty confident with my schedules, however I’m struggling with our current schedule after a bout of teething and multiple night wakes. Everywhere I read states the 1 nap at 11 months is *crazy* however, 2 nap days just create extended crying at nap time and bedtime (likely due to lack of sleep pressure).

Currently we are doing 5/6 with a 2 hour nap *which I acknowledge is missing an hour of awake time* as we transition to 1 nap. This is likely causing the night wakes now that we are done teething.

**My question is: Should I be switching to a 6/6 schedule with a nap capped at 1 hour? Or is there something that isn’t so extreme? I am open to suggestions!**

Help please!
