My baby took two 1.5+ hour naps today! What is going on?!?!

We've discovered recently that he does best if we give him about 15 minutes to settle. The crying hurts to hear but he was crying in my arms and did not want to nurse to sleep for his naps.

He also is doing much better at night! I've put him on a 3x a night feeding schedule and he's been doing pretty well with it. He only has maybe 1 wakeup outside of me going in to wake him and feed him. Hopefully we can cut it back to 2 soon but we tried that the first night and he was very insistent on eating more, so I decided to go for 3. Still better than getting up to crying 5-6 times a night.
