How much awake time for the babies?

NotSharknado · January 2013

Sophia is usually awake 5 to 6 hours before nap and the same before bedtime. Just curious where your Los are at.

We are at 5-6 hours too. DS is up around 7 and goes for nap around 12. Sometimes he sleeps for an hour, sometimes 2-3. Bedtime is around 7:30

LalaMama81:
Probably more like 6-7 before nap and 3-4 after. Some of that is because she can't take her nap until we pick DD up from school at 1, 3 days a week. Days she doesn't go to school, she goes down a little earlier.

So what's her bed time? Dd wakes at 6ish, naps at 12, wakes at 2ish and bed is about 7 or 7:30. This seems to work for her right now, but sometimes I wonder if she should have more awake time.

This is us.

When do you do lunch? I'm having a hard time getting him to eat before nap but letting him go until 2 or so seems way too long.

This is us too. Although, lately he's been waking up at 8 or 8:30 and will still go down around noon. We eat lunch at 11:30 because of Liam's preschool schedule.

Both nannybaby and Lj are up 6:30ish, stay up until 11. Lj naps for an hr and nb will nap 2-3 hrs. Lj goes down right around 8, NB goes down around 9:30. Lj only takes one hour long nap. She has never been a good napper.

edit; I got autocorrected.

Nb has a big breakfast and a small snack. He eats when he gets up around 2:00. It isn't a problem for him at all.

We do lunch as early as 10:30 and the latest 11:30.

I agree Lalama, Ds napped until he was 4, so I'm certainly in no rush to push her limits. I know she's not ready to be more flexible, I just want to make sure I'm on the right path here.

Yes, DD1 still naps once a week or so at almost
4.5. I didn't mean you were rushing
her, just a general comment. I think
you are on the right track.
We
do lunch somewhere between 11:30-
12:30 usually. But we eat dinner by
5/5:30.  

Oh I know you weren't implying anything. We also do dinner at 5ish.

ohyeahdollface · January 2013

I seriously thought we were almost done with naps, but she has proven me wrong!

Normal day she is up at around 6:45-7:15. Randomly she will sleep in till 7:30-7:45, but this is rare.

Breakfast at 8, lunch at 12, Nap around 1-1:30 for usually no more than 1-1.5hrs. Normally its 1-2:30. Snack, then dinner at 5:30, bed at 7-7:30. Usually by 7 she is hunting down a paci and whining her head off.

tiff012982 · January 2013

I'm guessing Hannah is either bored at home or just really hates to nap at school

At home it's a max of 3.5 hrs and school could be 6 hours before 1st nap. She still takes two naps and then it's another 3.5 hrs before nap two (depending on how long the first naps was) I can sometimes bring her home from school and get her to nap from 4-5:30 because her naps at school suck.

Either way she's in bed by 7:30 tops

lunch is 11:30 at school and around 12/12:30 at home.

Same here, awake 5-6 hours, then nap, awake for about 5 hours. My biggest issue is that she'd sleep the entire day away if I let her (3+ hours sometimes if I don't wake her up), and then she doesn't want to go to bed until 10pm. But, she's happy and goes down for bed and naps with no problem, so I can't really complain. It's just a late night when I'm straightening up at 11pm!

Wake 8am

Nap 1:30-4:30 (sometimes 2-4:30 or 5, if she sleeps in till 9)

Bed 9:30

homediva · January 2013

Awake at 5 (BOOOO! need a solution to this!)

Nap from 12-2:30

Bedtime is 7.

NativeFloridian · January 2013

In the morning DD2 is up for about 3 hours before she's ready for her nap. (Our wakeup time is sometime between 6:30 and 7:30, depending on when I went to bed.) Then she's up for 5-6 hours, then another nap. Then she's usually up for the rest of the day, until bedtime, which I make the same as her sister's (8:30 pm) because if I put her to sleep sooner she wakes up when I put DD1 to sleep. Sometimes she'll take the odd nap between her afternoon nap and her bedtime.

This is our schedule too.

DD1 wakes up between 6:30 and 7.

Depending on the day, she 'll either nap at 10-ish and then nap again at 3-ish. Typically, one of those naps will be about 1.5 hours and the other will be 40 minutes.

Other days, she'll make it through (early) lunch and will nap from like 12:30 to 2:30.

Regardless of her nap schedule, bed time is 8:30 (as in, lights out by then)
