How will LO transition to one nap when he gets up at 5:30 every day? He's still taking about 1 to 1.5 hour nap in the morning and the same in the afternoon. He's 13.5 months and I don't see how he will transition with this early wake up! It doesn't matter what time I put him down its an early wake up. His bedtime is 7 to 7:30.any thoughts? I'm ready for the one nap but I want to make sure he is and I'm not sure how that will look. TIA
Re: Early wake up and one nap
If he's still taking an hour to 1.5 hour nap in the morning, it doesn't really sound like he's ready for 1 nap a day!
What time is he going down for his morning nap? You could keep trying to push it back by 15-30 min increments until you are at the time you would like for his 1 nap a day.
Sorry, I don't really have any other tips - my DS is still at 2 naps a day....but is starting to only take a 30 min nap in the morning, so I'm thinking we might need to drop the morning nap soon.
Baby #2!
Wake up around 5:45-6am
Nap 1 9-10:30am
Nap 2 1:30-3pm
Bedtime at 7:30pm
When he started showing signs of being ready for one nap, he was getting tired later and later for his morning nap. Towards the end it was maybe 30-45 minutes and he wasn't ready for it until 10am or later.
Now that he takes one nap, his day looks like this:
Wake up around 5:45-6am
Nap 12-2
Bedtime 7pm
So all that to say, he didn't affect how early he woke up. Hope that helps!
