Babies: 9 - 12 Months

2 or 3 naps?

At what age did your LO drop the last nap? DS consistently takes two naps at daycare and a third one in the early evening and goes to bed at 8pm. Most times he wakes up from his second nap at daycare around 3 or 3:30pm and I pick him up before 4:30. Sometimes I can't determine if I should let him nap or keep him up and get him to bed earlier.

Re: 2 or 3 naps?

  • LO is almost 10 months and we just dropped the third nap about a week ago.  He wakes up from his last nap anywhere between 2-3 and goes to bed at 7:30.  Usually he does ok because there's so much going on in the last hour - eating, bathing etc.,

  • No advice here...just wanted to say that I am envious that your child takes naps :)  My little guy has never been a good napper from the very beginning...We are lucky to get one hour long nap during the day....however he does sleep from 7:30-7:30 so
  • 1 nap. Sometimes 2 but for the last few weeks she just takes one.

  • He dropped the third nap around ten months. It was really good because he was taking two half hour naps and one hour and a half nap but we would never know which nap would he the long one. When we dropped a nap he started taking two hour and a half naps

  • We are down to two a day. I would say DS dropped his evening nap around 10 months.

  • My 10 month old takes 2 two hour naps a day morning and afternoon. Has been since about 5 months. Sleeps like a boss at night tho, 77 usually. Every kiddo is different!

    We're down to 2 at daycare (9-10am and 1-3pm) but on the weekends, he frequently does not want/need the morning nap because we let him sleep in later.  If he misses the morning nap on the weekends, he usually naps about 2.5 hours in the afternoon.

  • I'm kind of envious! DS swings between 1 to 2 naps a day. He goes to bed between 730/8pm, and usually sleeps until 7am, but sometimes up around 6am, or late as 745am. Which usually affects how he naps. Sometimes it's a 1.5 hr morning nap (~ 9- 1030) and 1

  • My son dropped his third around 8 months. He switched daycares that had a schedule and he did really well with that and started taking better naps. He used to take 2-3, 30-min naps. He couldn't make it past 6PM for bed. It sucked! We had a cranky bab
