DD just turned 7 months old, and I'm curious when/how her nap schedule is going to change. Right now she's typically sleeping 7:30pm until 6am (when we wake her to start the day).
We've been doing 2 hour wake times for quite awhile now, and she usually naps 3 times during the day. Usual naps are:
8:30ish until 10/10:30ish
12ish until 1:30ish
3:30/4ish until 5ish
Sometimes we have a hard time with nap #3, and if she isn't having it after 20-30 minutes, then she's down for the night around 6:30pm because she hasn't napped in so long. This has been the case 1-2 times per week for the past 3 weeks... Just thinking she might be trying to get rid of that nap.
Is anyone already down to 2 naps per day? Should we try to push her wake times to 3 hours to encourage 2 longer naps and a slightly earlier bedtime? Or just continue to let her take the lead?
Re: Can we talk about naps?
We only get 2 naps. She goes to bed about 10 or 10:30 and is up at 10 or 1030. SHe would probably sleep until 11 or 12 if I let her though.
I've been reading posts and thought I was terrible for letting her stay up so late, so i'm glad that i'm not the only one!!!
My lo is only up 2 hours before she starts rubbing we eyes. If we keep her up more than 2 hours her naps aren't any longer sadly.
We're still having goofy issues here though.
I'd keep just following her lead and when she's ready to transition you will jnow
