DS is 8 months old and has been only taking 20 minute naps. I was wondering if he's ready to transition to two naps a day from three but after two hours he's donezo and cranky.... I can't imagine keeping him up for longer!
Any advice? Anyone able to sleep train this problem??

When my daughter started doing this at 9 months it was time to lengthen her awake time (we'd been on two naps since 7 months). The first few days were rough, so we got out of the house a lot, but after that her naps were so much better. I think during transition times they are sleepy/cranky for a bit.
We do 2.5-3 hours of awake time, then a nap, then 3-3.5 hours awake time right now.

Also, you may need to move bedtime a little earlier during the transition time.
But yeah, at that age I think 2 naps is pretty typical.
