It seems my LO is only getting in 2 naps a day now .. she will be 8 months next week.  Anyone else's LO taking only 2 naps?  How long are their naps?  My LO's naps range from 30min - 1hr.

    I wish!  Mine barely naps.  She does sleep straight through the night (11-12 hours), but does not like to nap.  She's too busy playing.

    We are down to 2 as well and they last 45 min- 1 hr. My LO will sleep 8 to 9 hrs straight at night too. Our schedule has been wild lately and not real sure why! Just going with the flow

    It depends on the day. She usually takes a solid morning nap (about 90 minutes) roughly two hours after she wakes up. Then she either takes two more short naps (30-40 minutes) or one more long one (an hour). If we're at home, it's two naps, but often one of those second naps is in the car so she doesn't sleep as long and needs the third.

    DS has 2, occasionally 3 naps.  The first is 90 minutes after he wakes up and lasts 50 minutes.  The second is after lunch around 1 or 2pm based on what we are doing and it lasts around 2 hours but he will wake up and play quietly and go back to sleep a few times during tbat nap.  Then occasionally he has a quick 3rd nap around 5pm.  He us trying to give that one up so we play it by ear.  Some days he just has some quiet time and sometimes he just plays and doesn't go down at all.  He use to sttn, but has been randomly waking up for his soother or a small bottle.

    ummm, ya, I have zero sympathy for you LOL

    P goes to bed by 8, wakes up 1-3x between then and 7am when he gets up. He naps at 10 am for an hour or 2 and sometimes that's it for the day!  I try to get him to nap again at 2 or 3, and then again at 5:30 when we pick hubby up from the train station.  He usually falls asleep in the car, but it's only a 15 min ride  Indifferent

    He's happy throughout the day, but i'm exhausted!!!

    Hahahahahaahaha.

    Not.

     

    We might be lucky enough to get two 15 minute naps at some point during the day. Maybe.

    I'd say 2 naps is our standard these days, and D's getting a little more difficult to put down. New tricks are required! 

    My ideal day is: up around 6am, nap #1 at 9am (40 minutes), nap #2 at about noon (1.5 to 2 hours), to bed ~6:30pm. The only way I really get that second nap to work out is to nurse him back down or even nap with him.

    The last couple of weeks we have been on a 2 nap schedule. His typical day looks like this:

    wakes at 8am

    nap: 10:30am to 12pm

    nap: 3:00pm to 5pm

    bedtime: 8pm. 

     

    No complaints here.  I really hope he keeps this schedule.

    Yes, 2 naps most days. Once in a blue, blue moon, we'll get 3. She's also a notorious 30 minute napper when she is at home. At day care, she apparently takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. Tongue Tied

    We usually have 2 naps a day. When I'm home she will only nap for an hour, but when I'm at work, she will usually take a longer nap in the morning.

    Our LO's schedule:

     Up between 6-7

    Nap 1 - 2.5 to 3 hours after waking - nap lasts between 1-2 hours

    Nap 2 - 3 hours after waking from first nap - 1-1.5 hours

    Bedtime 7-7:20

    He wakes around 5 am to nurse and then returns to sleep

    We've been down to two since 5-6 months.  He gets up around 6:30, takes an ~1 hour nap around 9,  and takes a 2 hour nap around 1.  He goes to bed around 7.

    Chloe dropped her third nap at least two weeks ago...probably three.  At about that time she also changed up how long each nap was.  Her morning nap is usually an hour (sometimes an hour and a half) and her afternoon nap is usually an hour and a half to two hours.  She sleeps from 8 to 8 at night.

    DD will be 6 months old in 2 more days and she's just recently started either fighting her 3rd nap or skipping it all together. She was pretty consistently taking 3 naps a day at around 9 am (1 hr), noon (30 min), and 3:30 pm (30 min). When she skips the 3rd nap, her 2 naps are around 9 am (around 1.5 hr) and 1 pm (around 1 hr). She goes to bed around 7 pm and sleeps until 6:30 am usually....still wakes once or twice during the night to eat.

    My DD dropped her 3rd catnap about a month or so ago? So much earlier than my DS did!! She seems to need less overall sleep than he did at this age.

    Anyway, she takes 2 solid 1.5 hour naps and then she's up from about 2:30 until her 7pm bedtime.  

    How is your LO sleeping at night?

    We're down to 2 naps. Each nap is about 30 minutes to an hour and a half, but any nap over 30 minutes requires some help from us (rocking, bouncing, etc.).
