Sometimes 4 naps sometimes 3 naps per day.

First is mostly out and about - so in car seat or stroller - who knows how long.. sometimes 30 min sometimes 1.5 hours.

Then another few 40 min naps - all in crib.

Today stunk though.. 3 half hour naps.

Usually about 4. Morning, Noon, mid-late afternoon, evening.

Today his morning and noon naps were and hour each.

Afternoon nap tends to be the longest, 2 hour at least.

Evening will probably be another hour.

Usually two 30min naps in the morning and then a longer one in the afternoon and if we are lucky another 30 min nap late afternoon.

Three naps a day- morning, afternoon, and early evening. The first two are usually about 1.5 hours, maybe 2. The third nap is half an hour to an hour depending on how well she napped earlier. When we are out, she usually shortens her naps to 30-45 minutes, so I try to have her compensate with the other nap. It's nice- when it works.

3-4 naps a day... usually every 2 hours for about 1/2 hour each. I wish she slept longer but she wakes up happy so I go with it and hope she'll eventually sleep longer!

It really depends. He either has 2 long naps (2 hours) a day or 3 shorter (30-40 minutes) a day. Thankfully, he STTN regardless, so I haven't worried too much about whether and when he naps. If he starts to rub eyes, he goes down immediately.

3 naps at home; 2 naps at day care.

3-4 naps a day (around 9am, around 12, and around 4pm). Usually her first naps is about an hour, second nap is 1-2 hours, and third is 45 minutes.

If one of those naps is only 30 minutes then she'll sneak another nap somewhere.

I wish I could get her to STTN. She's still up once over night and once in the early morning to eat. Now that I'm back to work I'm really dragging b/c of it!

Gatorney · September 2011

Usually 3 - first around 7:30 for an hour to an hour and a half. Second two are mid-morning/around noon and early afternoon. Sometimes a short one in the evening. STTN, with the exception of one night this week, for the past 2 months or so.

Same here....my LO's naps are inconsistent but she still STTN. I just follow her cues, some days she naps more than others. My day care provider follows my LO's cues as well, so we don't have a set schedule per se.

On the weekends/days at home, DD does almost exactly the same as OP (around 9:30 for about 45 min, around noon for 2 hrs, around 4:30 for 30 min - all in her crib). Weekdays/days at DC are a different story.

She usually only takes one nap there, anywhere from 45 min to 2 hrs, then gets her usual 30 min early evening nap when we get home.

Two, usually. Up at 9-ish, down for about an hour around noon. Then down for another hour about 4 or 5. Then bed at 8.
