What does your LO's nap schedule look like?

ILMomma

How many naps a day does you LO take? How long do they each last? How old is your LO?

8m, he takes usually 2 naps in the morning, anywhere from 30 minutes - 1:30 for the first and 30 minutes for the second. 1 afternoon nap for 30 minutes to two hours.

Mine takes 2 naps a day. First nap comes 2-2.5 hours after wake up. Usually 1-1.5 hours long. Afternoon nap is 3 hours after he wakes up. Usually 1-2 hours (if the morning nap was short, the afternoon nap is longer).

He goes to bed 3-4 hours after he wakes up from the afternoon nap.

Eta: he is 8 months.

DS is almost 7 months old. He is on 3 naps, however, he is still cat napping. A couple times a week he will take a longer first nap, if he doesn't, I try to get him to go back to sleep with his paci (he is chronic 40 min napper). If all else fails I will go for a swing nap to keep to just 3 naps, although he won't be able to do that forever. Right now the schedule we roughly go by is sleeps 8-8, nap at 10, nap at 1, "cat nap" (30 mins) around 4:30/5.

Two naps a day - morning and afternoon. Depends a little on what time she wakes up, etc, but generally she naps around 10 and 2, for about 1.5 hours (sometimes a little shorter or longer). Generally wakes up between 7 and 8 and goes to bed around 7:30. She is 7.5 months. She dropped her third nap about 2-3 weeks ago.

My LO is just over 8 months and has been napping at 10 am & 2 pm for a while now. Her afternoon nap is generally longer now so her bedtime is getting pushed back a little bit but she still gets up around 7-8 am everyday.

Mine is 8 months.  He takes 2 naps, one about two to three hours after he wakes up.  The other anywhere from 2 to 4pm.  The first nap can be 30min to 1 hour and the second 30 min to 2 hours.  Every now and then he'll fall asleep on a walk but it's usually for a few minutes (in between the existing naps).

Mine will be 7 months tomorrow and she's a terrible napper but a great night sleeper. A typical day is a cat nap around 10am for about 20 minutes but only while nursing, if I try to put her down in her crib she screams bloody murder. Then we get one more nap around 2pm, usually about 45 minutes. This one usually occurs in her car seat because we do afternoon errands most days. And she will fall asleep on the way home and will stay asleep for a little bit after getting home. I might get one or two more 20 minute catnaps out of her while nursing but that's it. I've tried everything I know of to get her on an official napping routine but she just isn't having it. She goes to bed around 9 (sometimes 8 and sometimes 10) with little to no trouble and typically sleeps 11 hours straight so I don't worry too much. But I do wonder why we struggle so much with naps (unless I'm holding her)!

DD is really just starting to get on a nap schedule. Generally she's ready to go down about 2 hours after she gets up and sleeps for about an hour. Two to three hours later she goes back down and will sleep for a couple of hours. Some days she'll take a brief cat nap in the evening.
