Where are you with naps? 1 or 2?

JSanFran · May 2012

We usually are a consistent 2 napper ranging from 1.5-2.5 hours each. But we've been teething, had diarrhea, and are a little off kilter. The last few mornings he has slept in later than normal (yay) and I have a tough time tellin whether he is tired or not so I just put him in his crib after 2-2.5 hours in the morning then around 2ish in the afternoon...not working out well. I can't tell if I'm just missing his signs, he's too excited bc he's walking, or we're trying to transition to 1 nap...seems a bit early though...

Thoughts?

We're still at 2 naps. She gets up around 6:30-7 am, and is usually more than ready for her 10:00 nap. It lasts around 70 minutes on most days. I put her down at 2 for her second nap. Sometimes she falls asleep right away, and some days she'll cruise around the crib and talk to herself until 3:30!! I hate those days because I usually have to wake her up if she's still sleeping by 4:30. I think she's way too little to be down to one nap a day, though.

We are still doing a 2-3-4 schedule here and it is working. She gets up around 7, nap ~ 9-10:30, 2nd nap ~2-3, bed around 7.

There are been a couple days where her schedule has been off and she's just had one nap, but in general she needs both.

We usually do 2 naps, one hour each at 10 and 2. But some days she wakes up early or is really fussy so we do 3 naps, at 9, 12, and 3.

my DD naps twice a day...

she basically is on a 3 hour schedule.

Whenever she wakes up (which this past month has literally ranged from 4:30 - 6:30 AM, uhhh) - she naps 3 hours later for 1-2 hours.

So our schedule is somewhat like this -

Wake up at 6.
Nap at 9 - 10:30.

Nap 1:30 - 3:00.

Bed 7.

Joey often still takes THREE naps a day. He wakes up around 6:30-7:00, takes his first nap around 9 (anywhere from 45 - 90 min), his 2nd nap is somewhere between noon and 1 (usually about 90 min) and then he often goes back down around 4 or 4:30 (for about an hour). He goes to bed at 7:00.

She takes either 1 or 2 naps, depending on the day. I try to put her down in her crib at around the same time each day and by watching her tired cues. Sometimes she'll fall asleep in the morning and other times she will absolutely not take a morning nap and she'll make it from 6/6:30 am to around noon before taking a nap. When she takes just one nap, it's usually between 2-3 hours in length.

We have been on one nap for about three months. I am a horrible mom and did this selfishly, because otherwise my day would have been: baby naps, toddler naps, baby naps. We would have never gone anywhere. Both of my kids go down about 12:30 and sleep three hours and he STTN so it works for us.

We usually have 1 nap between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Once in a while she'll take a nap later too.

DS normally naps 1:15 in the morning and 1:00 in the afternoon. If we do something crazy to wear him out that day (play in the pool or go to the park for a couple of hours), he will take a 1:30-2:00 nap in the afternoon.
