Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

One nappers - before or after lunch?

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.

Re: One nappers - before or after lunch?

  • My DS sleeps in later in the day b/c he goes to bed later at night so I give him lunch around 1 and then he goes down for a nap.

    I love my crazy child!

    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.
  • 5.5 hours after she wakes (anywhere between 6 and 715) she eats lunch, then goes down.  SHe sleeps for 2-2.5 hours.
