Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Switching to one nap a day

What time do you put baby down for a nap? We had been putting her down at about 10:30 am and 3 pm but now she is fighting both naps. I'm thinking about trying one nap but am unsure when to put her down, she usually is up between 7:30 and 8:00 am and goes to bed at about 7:30 pm.

  • You read my mind.  We are at the same place (same times you listed too).  Tomorrow I am gonna try to feed him lunch at 11:15 and put him down for his nap at 12.  We will see how it goes!

  • We do 12:30, but I think you'll probably be better off watching her for cues that going off of what others do.  She may not be able to hold out as long, she may hold out for longer.

  • at school the unified nap is after lunch, so around 1130/12 depending upon when your child calms down and falls asleep. At 10 months LO quit taking an afternoon nap and was a hot mess at home in the evening and in bed by 6pm. I asked them to move her two

  • We just watched DS and went by his cues. I think we originally did the nap around 12:30, but he pushed it back to 2:00 a few months ago.

  • My son was on just about your same exact schedule! He would take an am nap but only for about 30 minutes and take a longer afternoon one. So I just kept him awake until 1 which was after lunch and he had time to wind down. I let him sleep until 3-3:15 and
  • Ages ago, at 2 naps, DD did 7am wake up, 11:30-1pm nap, 4-5:30pm nap, 7:30pm bedtime (8:30pm asleep, if lucky).
