2 nap schedule

lciganek1 · June 2013

For those of you on a 2 nap schedule can you please share your LOs wakeup, nap times, and bedtimes? I'm trying to get K's nap times established and its been hit or miss mostly miss though!!. He never gives any tired signals at all and believe me I watch him like a hawk, so I need to work off a schedule rather than his cues otherwise he would never sleep! TIA!

Up at 8.

1st nap 10:30 - 12ish

2nd nap 2:30 to 4ish

Bed at 8.

Sometimes he takes a short nap around 6 but it pushes his bed time back when he does.

Wakeup at around 7
Nap 2 hours later
Nap lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours
3 hours after he wakes up, he goes down for his "big nap" which is always around 2 hours.

In a perfect world, he would nap again at 6.

If he skips it, bedtime is at 8.

Also how long are naps? K usually takes a short first nap and sometimes his second nap is short too. I've tried extending his naps and some days he'll sleep up to 60 or 90 minutes with his second nap but I've had no success extending his first nap so I've given up on that one!

She wakes up at 7, has a bottle and usually passes back out til 93010. Then goes back down around 1 til 3. Bedtime is usually between 78. Naps are at least 2 hrs long when we're being homebodies..if we're out sometimes they only last a half hour, then she's super tired and bedtime could be earlier.

mbm1983:
Wake up 6. First nap 930 or 10, second nap 230 or 3. Bedtime at 8.

Ar least this is lately.

Word for word.
First nap she goes down easily. It's a 2 hr nap. 2nd nap is more of a struggle, but she needs it. Usually an hour.

RVASC811:
Wake up at 6.
Nap at 8 or 9.
Nap at 1 or 2.
Sometimes a third nap at 5 (short).
Bedtime at 7:30.

This is us, too. Although, the past few weeks, boyo has been waking up between 5 and 6 am. Not fun for Mama or Dada. If the third nap happens, it's usually 30 minutes on the dot. And bedtime is usually between 6:45 and 7:15.

Wake up at 5:30.

Nap from 7:30-9. Nap from 12:30-2:30. Bed at 7:30. If he has a later wake up time, bed time is usually 8. But this is the routine pretty much every day give or take a half hour. He dropped his 3rd nap about 3 weeks ago.

When we do a 2 nap day, it's usually a 2-3-4 schedule. So first nap 2 hours after he wakes up, 2nd nap 3 hours after waking from 1st nap, and bedtime around 4 hours after waking from 2nd nap. Wake up is usually at 5:30, 1st nap at 7:30/7:45, 2nd nap at 1, and bedtime at 6:30.
