When did DC drop to 2 naps?

jsugrin

I thought that Cooper was ready for 2 naps around 5 months but after a few weeks of two he went right back to three and seems pretty content there.  My issues are twofold, he's a very inconsistent napper, he can nap anywhere from 30 - 1 1/2 hours but the naps are different every day and total nap hours are different, and we are going to start Ferber in a couple of nights and I'm wondering if it would just be easier to make the two nap transition when we Ferber for naps.

So when did LO drop the 3rd nap and if you remember what their schedule looked like with 2 vs. 3.

 

TIA

8am: breakfast yogurt, fruit

9am: am nap (45min)

11am: snack, puffs or something

12:30pm: lunch

2:00pm-4pm: bottle, nap

it took us a month to drop that 3rd nap and actually he took 3 yesterday! One was 20 minutes another was 30 and the last was over an hour. But he dropped that third nap in general at about 7 months maybe 6. From what my mommy brain remembers he dropped it for a few weeks then started needing it again then dropped it for good. Good luck, it was a hard transition for us but a needed one because his naps were getting shorter and shorter.

Emmalee still takes 3 naps if she takes her second nap really early or was up really early that morning. So far today she had her naps at 8am and noon. She keeps rubbing her eyes right now as I type so she may go down again in a few mins. Her naps run about 1-2 hours each.

On daycare days she usually only has 2 naps just because her day is a bit delayed if that makes sense.

I think around 6 months, but it got to the point where they were like 15-20 minute catnaps on the way home from work (around 5pm.)  Once she dopped that napped, she started doing better with her other two naps and slowly moved up her bedtime.
