Putting baby down for a nap

How and when are you putting DC down for naps. I'm at work for all of DC naps during the week. My sister watches DD at my house, but is starting to have trouble with naptime.

    I put her down after her morning feeding.  Then again around 12-1pm and again around 4pm.

    DS is a little younger than yours but he tends to nap after being awake about 1 1/2-2 hrs.  He takes 3 naps a day.  I take him to his room, swaddle him, rock him for like 3 minutes and then put him in his crib awake.  He usually falls asleep on his own.

    My girls will be 5 months tomorrow and they are still taking 3 naps a day, most babies this age as starting to transition to only 2 naps a day, but my girls just need the extra nap, so I let them have it. If they don't get that 3rd nap they are horribly cranky babies. With the nap they are refreshed and are much happier during those dreaded witching hours.

    1st nap of day is at 9:30AM - 10:30/10:45

    2nd nap of day is at 1:00/1:30 - 3:00/3:30

    3rd nap of day is 5:15/5:30 - 6:00 (if they don't get up on their own I wake them at 6PM due to bedtime coming up)

    Last bottle of day is at 7:30 with a bedtime of no later than 8PM.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
