Nap and Bedtime Times

NM86 · May 2013

So it looks like we need to do CIO again for DS and our doctor said to look at cutting out a nap or shortening them. I'm looking to see what is normal for everyone's LOs.

When does your LO take their nap or naps and usually how long are they? When is bedtime and when does LO wake up for the day?

Skyler has been on the same routine since mid-December or so.

Bedtime between 7:15 and 8pm and she wakes for the day between 6:15 and 7:30am most days. She's only been consistently STTN for the past month, she finally decided it was time.

Naptime is down between 12:15 and 1pm and awake between 2:30 and 3:30pm depending on if she's at homr or school. Average is 12:45-3:15pm.

We put her in bed between 7,30 and 7,45. Since daylight savings, it takes her awhile to fall asleep, but she cuddles her lambie and rolls around til she does. She usually wakes around 6,30 or 7.

She only takes one nap. She goes down around 1,30, and usually sleeps for 2 or 3 hrs.

Morning nap between 10:10 and 10:20, he does not sleep past 11, we will wake him

Afternoon nap 2-3:30, we will wake at 3:30 if not awake

Bed time 7:20 story and milk--down by 7:30--takes him a few minutes to sleep

Awake some time between 6:45 and 7:15

We have learned that he naps past 11 he wont take a PM nap, and if he sleeps past 3:30 he struggles going down at night. This has been our schedule for quite sometimes. He works great forsure to wake him up.

Aria was starting to wake up a few times at night again, and I realized that it was because she was trying to switch herself to one nap a day. I was still trying to make her take two. Once I cut her down to one nap, she went back to STTN.

Wake up: 8am

Nap: 11/11:30 to 2 (or, this week, 3)

-sometimes she'll start to get cranky around 5. I'll lay her down as if for a nap, but she'll just play in her crib for an hour, talking and giggling. When I go to get her after that, she'll be happy and smiley. I guess she just likes her quiet time! (like her mama...)

She eats dinner by 7, bathtime is at 7:30, and bedtime is by 8. (sometimes each of these things happens earlier, but Aria never goes to bed earlier than 7:45 or later than 8. She's super picky.)

As long as I put her down "on time", she'll STTN.

L goes to bed at 7:30 or 8. He naps at 9:30 for an hour and a half to 2 hours. Then he naps again around 2:30 or 3 for about an hour.

Madison started one nap at 11 months. It's usually two hours around 10:30, but it can be earlier or later by an hour. All depends on how tired she is. She usually sleeps 7:30pm6:30 am.

jldubb0626 · May 2013

Wake up is between 7:30 and 8:00

Nap starts between 12:00pm and 1:00pm and usually lasts 2 hours.

Bed time is between 7:00 and 8:00, depending on when and how long he napped.

My kid may not be the best to judge all this by, because he likes to sleep!!! He sleeps for 12 hours at night. If he goes to bed at 7:30p, he's up at 7:30-8a. If he goes to bed at 8 or 9, he's not up until 8 or 9. Depending on what time he does get up, he may still take 2 2hr naps...or 1 long one 3 1/2hrs.

Bedtime is usually at 8:00. He's usually asleep pretty quickly after we put him down. He usually wakes up around 7 or 7:30. Naps are weird. Our DCP says that he naps twice for her, but he usually only naps once for us on the weekends.

I think Nolan is starting to transition to one nap. He usually wakes between 6 and 7. If he takes a morning nap, it is from 8:45-10. If he took a morning nap, then his afternoon nap will start at 1:30. He was taking a good morning nap and really fighting his afternoon nap so I have been just giving him one nap, starting at 1 and he has been doing well. The last 2 days he has slept 2.5-3 hours in the afternoon. I SAH, so if he seems really tired in the morning, I will go back to 2 naps. He doesn't do well when he gets overtired and the key to him STTN is good napping
