daytime nap?

HouseofSept

Hi, I usually lurk but I need some advice. Does your LO nap during the day? If so, how long? DS won't nap until its 3 pm & sleeps for 2 hrs. I can't get him to bed at 8 or 8:30 pm. He just isn't tired enough. Should I cut his nap short? Wdyt?

DS naps in the afternoon right after lunch. He goes down around 1/1:30 and sleeps anywhere between 30 mins and 2 1/2 hours. Lately it's been 1 1/2 hours. What time does your DS wake up in the morning?

What time does he wake up for the day? He should be taking a nap before 3.

My LO dropped his nap at about 18 months.  He sleeps from 6:15ish in the evening to between 6 and 7 am.  It stinks, but before he dropped it, he was fighting going to sleep for both nap and bed for about an hour each. 

 
What time does he wake up in the morning?  I suppose maybe you could try waking him up after 45 minutes or an hour...  Really though, if he's going down at 3 for a nap, it's going to be hard to get him to go to bed.

He wakes up at 8:30 am every day.

Like PP said, when does he wake up?  How many hours is he sleeping at night?  DD sleeps from about 8:30pm to 6:30am.  Then she naps from 1 to 3:30.

He wakes up at 8:30 am every day. 

Not sure what the best suggestion would be.  I would try for a nap around 1:30 or 2, and make sure he is up no later than 4 and see what happens.

Since he's waking up that late, I can see him not being tired until 3:00.  Have you thought about trying to transition him to waking up earlier?  

That might be better than trying to cut his nap short.

He used to go to sleep at 1 after lunch. its lately about a wk or so that he is staying up longer.  I tried to keep him up for the day since he wasn't falling asleep but he passed out at 4 pm. So that didn't work.

Thanks, I will try this and see how it goes. The reason I haven't tried because he is still not STTN so I am so sleep deprived that I am taking advantage of him sleeping in late in the mornings.

DD goes down between 12 and 1 and sleeps 3-4 hours. She doesn't go to bed until 8.

I don't think 8:30 is that late to sleep in. My younger son naps from 12:30-2:30, and gets up around 7-8  Are you getting out of the house, and really getting him to burn off energy in the morning? That might help him nap earlier.

during weekdays, she naps at anytime between 1130-1PM and does so for 2-3 hours. On weekends, when she gets to sleep till around 930-10 in the morning, she goes down to nap around 2-3 pm, and can nap until 7 in the evening which, could be frustrating because she wont sleep until 11 in the evening sometimes even 1130.

Although my mom suggests that i wake her up, i do not do that because i feel that maybe she needs to rest or something. but that's just me.

I would do your best to try to move up that nap time.  I know when my LO sleeps past 4:30 bedtime will take forever.

We are still on the 2 nap route. Charlotte wakes up between 5:30-6 and naps at 9 and 2

DS goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 pm.  He wakes up between 7 and 8(although, he is still sleeping right now-I'm shocked).

He does wake up multiple times a nights, but only whines for a moment or two, and goes back to sleep(unless he is sick).

He takes one nap. It falls between 11 and 2, lasts between 1 and 2 hours. He just is not a napper.
