Where is everyone at with nap time and bed times now?

Do your LOs still nap twice or down to one nap a day? What times? When is bed time and wake up time. Sophia was doing 8pm bed and 7am wake up. Naps were twice. 9:30am then one at 2:30pm. As of right now we have been all over the place for 3 weeks now. I don't know what happened but obviously she's telling me she's ready for a new schedule but I haven't figured it out. Signed, one tired mama:(

    The only thing that is consistent is bedtime, it's been 6:45 for months now. Naps are usually based on her wake up times, but approximately 9/9:30 and 2ish. We've been going to the pool a lot and that often pushes the nap time off a bit. It's a loose 2-3-3 schedule. 
    Maybe I should hold off on switching a new schedule right now? She's teething and certainly going through a phase. Do you think I should stick to what we had going and wait it out? I'm up for any feedback.

    Bedtime is 7 and wake up is anywhere between 7:30-8:30. And naps are whenever she's tired for right now. She was on a nap schedule but started refusing it so we are just going with the flow for now..

    Still doing 2 naps over here.

    Wake up is usually between 7 and 7:30.

    First nap is at 10. Second nap is at 2:30. Both naps are 1.5 hour.

    Bed time is between 8:30 and 8:45

    Every once in a while, DD will have a whacky day where she'll take shorter, earlier naps and will end up taking an extra power nap late in the afternoon. Or she will get up super late in the morning and end up only taking one nap and going to bed early. But I don't think we're about to go down to just one nap soon. If I recall correctly, DD1 took 2 naps until she was about 18 months, so I figure DD2 is likely to do the same.

    I feel the same way you do. But, here's roughly his schedule.

    7:00 wake up, 10:30 nap, 11:30 up, 2:30-45 (ish) nap, 4 (ish) up, 8 bedtime

    Today was weird, 7 wake up, 11:30 nap, 2:30 up, 8 pm bed

    We had plans with family and when I tried to put him down for the earlier nap he wouldn't fall asleep. I'm not sure if this means he's ready to go down for just 1 nap or not. DS1 never slept and still doesn't sleep well so I can't compair it to his schedule at the same age.

    We are all over the place.  Some days it's still two naps, other days just one.  It's awfully hard to plan to do anything right now, I never know when she'll be sleeping.

    2 nap schedule:  wake 7:30/8am, nap1 around 11, nap2 around  4, bed at 8:30/9pm

    1 nap schedule:  wake 8/9, nap 1:30 - 3:30, bed at 8:30/9pm

    This is also throwing off lunch.  She doesn't want to eat a meal before a nap, so we're having lunch at 3 or 3:30 on one nap days, instead of at 1:30 on two nap days.

    STTN is also hit or miss right now.  I think she'll just get caught up on sleep for a few days, then she'll only need one nap for a few days, then she tires herself out and goes back to 2 naps.  I gave up trying to push either schedule, so I just follow her lead every day.  Boo.

    Always two naps but the timing depends on what we have going on that day.   Normal day is up at 7, nap 9-10, nap 1-2 and bed at 8.   I'm thinking I should push back the afternoon nap, but ep she gets so cranky after lunch.  I could also push back the morning nap, but the it would be in the middle of all of our activities.

    Bed time and wakeup time are pretty much consistent unless he had a rough day prior. Naps are kind of all over the place, but since DH stays home with DS we just follow his cues and nap him when he seems to get tired. Sometimes he has one nap, sometimes two, sometimes we have a 3 hour nap, sometimes we have a 30min nap. It's kind of crazy but whatever. A rough schedule would be like this:

    Wakeup: 8:30a

    First nap: anywhere between 10:30 and 12p lasting 1-2 hours

    Second nap: between 2p and 3:30p lasting about 45min-1hour

    Bedtime: 7:30ish
