I'm still deciding for sure which way I want to do it. Some days (more often now) I give DD lunch first and nap second. She usually has lunch around 11/11:30 (usually around 4 hours after getting up). Naps for 2 hours usually.
We were doing lunch after nap because she tends to eat better when she's rested. But her schedule is shifting a bit earlier, so this week we've done lunch before nap. I don't know if it's a permanent change or just temporary.
lunch at noon and then the nap. she's still only sleeping about an hour tops though, i'm hoping that will get extended sometime soon so i can catch a break!
DD goes to daycare and she eats at 11:30 and naps from 12:00 - 2:00. This works well for her and all the daycares I visited pretty much follow this schedule. We also try to follow this schedule on the weekends.
Re: One nappers - before or after lunch?
