I have a 9 mo old son a 4 yr old daughter also in preschool. My son for awhile would also fall asleep in the car on the way home from preschool and once we got home, he would not sleep. This changed, like most of their sleep patterns. I tried different nap times and finally found one that works. I was trying to early before and now wait a little while, he sleeps about 2 hrs for his first nap. He wakes up, we eat lunch and then go get his sister. She is not in preschool as long as your child. I lay her down for quiet(not so quiet actually) time. Then, I lay my son down about 3 hrs after his first nap. He's been sleeping around 2 hrs for the 2nd nap. Then bedtime around 8. He still wakes up pretty much every night. I'm pretty tired but know this time won't last forever. I do not have a schedule for nursing, never have. I definitely encourage you to continue nursing. I did add some formula last month bc my son bit both of my nipples and it was really really painful. He fortunately did fine with the bottle and had no allergies. If breastfeeding is becoming to much then you shouldn't stress to much! You've done well going this long! Some moms give up after the first week or so. Pumping should help with clogged ducts but do what feels right. :) I also should say, my son wouldn't take a bottle at first with the formula in it but I tried giving it to him when I knew he was pretty hungry. I also warmed the tap water a bit. He doesn't always seem interested in it but most of the time he'll drink some. Hope this helps!
