Moms: getting your kids on the same schedule...

If you were able to get your kids on the same nap/bedtime schedule - can you share your secrets??  My DS is still too young to have any kind of schedule - but when the time comes, it would be great if he & my DD could nap at the same time.  HA!   Wishful thinking, I'm sure. 

Thanks for any advice!!

    The bed time thing just sortof fell into place around 4 mos or so.  She would not stay awake past 6:00pm, we sometimes can hold her off till 6:30pm.  DS goes to bed at 7pm and then they both sleep till 6 -6:30am.  So that part just sortof happened.  (with sleep training early on of course to get them to initially STTN)

    As for naps, DS goes down for his nap anytime between 12pm - 1pm.  So I had to work a little to get DD's nap schedule to line up with his.  But it just sortof happened too within the last month or so and was not too terribly hard.  SHe takes a morning nap around 8am (about 2 hrs after she initially wakes up) then is ready to go down again between 12 - 1 again.  So I hold them off until the other is ready.

    Just wait until you start seeing a nap routine emerging and then try to push it in the way you want.  I would love to see other's responses b/c it wat not too hard for me and wonder if others have had similar experiences as time went on.
