Naps

Where is everyone at with naps? My little guy is in daycare, he is very nosey and has never naps very well. He is a mover and get very tired. He is lucky and get his 2 hour AM nap at home then goes to daycare where we are lucky if he gets a 2nd PM nap at 45mins. If he was home he would take another 2 hour PM nap. In January he is moving to the toddler room and they do one nap in the middle of the day. So the whole AM nap at home may not continue to work as when he would get there the others would be going down for a nap. I feel like he still needs to be at 2 naps. Thought or ideas?

What time does he normally go down at night and wake up for the day? Adjusting wake-up and bed times may help in transitioning to one nap a day, even if only temporarily.

We generally get about an hour or two from B late morning or early afternoon. Sometimes we get a shorter afternoon nap if we are out and about in the car. This is usually 30 min or less.

Some days my dude does one nap, others two.  If his first nap is late enough and long enough he can make it to bedtime without another. Today he napped 10:50 - 12:20. He was tired again around 5, but I'm not about to put him down for another nap at that time. We just got him in bed at 7 instead of his usual 7:30.

Every kid is so different and every day is so different. Do what works for you, experiment with times, etc. once you think you have things figured out baby gets sick or something else throws a wrench in your "schedule." Such is life.
