2 naps or 3 naps ?

DS was sick most of May and had a bunch of sleeping issues so we are just getting back onto a routine. That said I had been working on nights first because I NEEDED more sleep at night. Last week he took just two naps a day almost every day. Yesterday he had three but one was only 25 minutes. It is only noon and he is on his 2nd nap of the day. I don't mind if he wants three naps I would just like to be able to plan my days since I try to be home for naps.

So how many naps does your LO take? For those now at just two naps a day how did you transition them down to just two?

DS was a 3 nap a day kinda kid until about 8-9 months. Once he started taking a longer first nap of the day he transitioned himself to 2 naps a day

DD used to be a 3 nap baby but started stretching out her awake times about 3 weeks ago.  We went through 2 weeks of her not knowing what she wanted so some days she would take 2 naps but others 3.  Things have finally settled down into a routine of 2 naps.  She is up around 7am, 1st nap at 10:30, naps for 2 hours, 2nd nap around 3:30/4:00, naps for an hour and to bed at 7:30. 

The days of going back and forth were frustrating after being in a good routine for awhile.  I just tried to be patient and let her figure it out on her own.  I am sure your LO will settle into a new routine soon.

We are at 2 naps. DD never took three. It would have been nice, tho.
