Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

? #3 Re: LOs with 1 Nap

LO is working her way down to 1 nap.  She takes 1 nap about every 2 - 3 days.  But she is only taking her morning nap around 10am and naps anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2hrs.  Then she is awake until about 6:30/7pm before going to bed.  I feel like this is a really long time for a 13mo to be awake.  She handles it okay but is this the average time for an LO to be awake with only 1 nap????  Should I be trying to get her in a 2nd nap still?

  • DS just officially went down to 1 nap last week.  Prior to realizing that's what was going on, he would nap from 9:30-11:00 each day and stay awake until 7:00 at night.  He would also be a beast by dinner.  Now that we've realized he's down to just one nap, we're keeping him awake until around 11:00.  He's been very tame staying awake til then and we're all much happier.

  • Cedric has been doing real good with one nap for a couple of months now.  I started by keeping him up a little later every day.  Now he goes down between 12 and 1pm for his nap.  He is up for about 4-5 hours after he wakes up from his nap until bedtime.

  • I am always curious how LO's drop down to one nap.  My LO will go to bed about 9/9:30 and once a week he'll sleep more than 2 hours!!!  He will be tired enough to take an afternoon nap, but it's very very quick - like a half hour or so.  Your LO tends to drop the afternoon nap too, then.  I always hear that LO's will drop the morning nap, but my little guy still needs it over his afternoon one most days.
