How long is your 9/10 month old up in between naps??

Jacques715 · July 2010

Mine fights naps like crazy. It is exhausting. She got up at 6:30 this morning. She has been rubbing her eyes since 9:00, I am on my 3rd attempt to put her down and she still is fighting it. This is a daily occurance.

up at 6am, nap at 9am - then usually up from 10:30-1:30pm, nap at 1:30pm - up around 2:30-3, then bed for night around 7-7:30.

We loosely follow the 2-3-4 rule.

Up for 2 hours before the first nap, 3 hours later is the 2nd nap, and 4 hours later is bedtime. DS doesn't sleep much, though.

It hasn't changed for us since 9/10 months, so I'll answer. After he wakes up, he's up about 3 hours, naps, up for about 2.5 hours, naps, up for 3.5 - 4 hours.

Up at 7am

Nap at 9am to 10:30am

Nap at 2pm to 3pm

Down for the night 8pm to 9pm

YES I know how you feel! I try different things everyday to tire him out and he could just go to sleep instead of being cranky and fighting it, but I haven't found the formula of success yet lol. His schedule (roughly) is:

up at 6:00 am (but today it was 7:30!)

mid morning nap for 2 hrs (usually 10 to noon)

up till 4:30, then naps till 6:30, then down for the night at 8:30.

Up at 6:30

Nap 9:30-11:30

Nap 3:30-5

Bedtime 7:30

We are not strict about naps though. Right now it is 9:15 and she is showing no signs of being tired. If she's awake much past 10 I'll give her a bottle and try to put her down, but I think she's starting to change up her schedule. Yesterday she only took one nap from 11:30-2:30. Who knows, right when I think we're on a good schedule it changes...

Our schedule is (very loosely)

Wakeup around 10am

Nap 1230-330

Bedtime around 9

Some nights he gets a "time-out" nap around 630 or 7pm, which only lasts half an hour to 45 minutes. We only do that one if he is really cranky. That's why it's the "timeout" nap, it's a little timeout from the stimulation of playing and eating, but it's short so it doesn't really interfere with bedtime.

Oh my gosh, wake up at 10am? You're my hero! I would love to sleep in until 8, then still have 2 hours to enjoy my coffee and get a few things done around the house. Yes

Would it kill you if I told you that he regularly sleeps ill 11 or 1130? My kid is NOT a morning person.

DD usually wakes up between 5-6, but she's not up very long. Usually less than an hour, just to eat and be changed and then she's back down, so I don't really count that as a nap.

She's usually up for the day around 8:30, nap around 11 (for about 1.5 hours), and then her next nap is normally around 2:30 (for 1-1.5 hours), and then she goes to bed at 8.

My little guy is usually awake around 2-3 hours between naps, until the end of the day, when there is sometimes 3-5 hours before he goes to bed for the night (though he still sometimes takes a short 20 min nap around 5pm).

Ok I guess I'm the odd one out here, DS still naps like a newborn, he takes 4 naps a day! He just can't stay awake for more than 2 hours! It's awful for me because I can never plan anything, if I'm out I have to make sure I'm home every 2 hours. Sometimes his naps are only 45 minutes long so it's never enough of a break for me to get stuff done.
