Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

nap time regression

When did your lo's switch from 2 naps to one?
I have a 13 month old and he has really been fighting his afternoon nap. Sleeps from 8 to 6ish usually, is ready for a nap by 9 usually (which is weird I think) and then goes down btwn 1 and 3 for good second nap. Nap time usually totals about 3 hours btwn the 2, but he is so unpredictable!

Re: nap time regression

  • DD was 1 and decided on her own that she only needed one nap. She wakes up by 7:30 every morning and naps around noon. She usually naps 2-3 hours a day.

  • It was around 13/14 months that my DD made the switch (she'll be 15 mo in a few days).  She wakes up anywhere from 7 on (sometimes earlier) and goes down between 7-7:30 at night.  She might take a quick snooze while we do errands before lunch at 12 then I put her down between 1-2 depending on how that snooze went (or didn't go).  She usually goes down for 2-3 hours. 

    I actually encouraged her to drop the morning nap and we would do more in the morning and I just started having lunch with her before she'd go down.  So far, seems to be going well!  Good luck!
  • I wish I could get DS on 1 nap....I seriously can't believe how tired/crabby he gets by 9am...the last few days he's been taking both naps, but only napping for 45 min max...
  • DD is 13.5 months and we're having napping issues too. I think DD's wake times have gotten longer...but she still needs to nap twice and the two seem to be mutually exclusive. She's falling asleep an hour later than she used to, which means her second nap cuts into when she should be up before bed. But if I try to do only 1 nap, she's incredibly cranky and only sleeps about an hour and a half (between two naps she gets 3 hours). UGH, this period sucks.
  • DS2 is 12.5 months and does 2 naps but mainly because he's up every day at 530. DS1 has to be at the bus stop by 620 so we're a family that's up before the sun! DS2 naps usually anywhere between 9 and 10 at least for an hour. Some days he makes it two hours. I try to get him to take a nap around 2 that way he can nap for an hour before DS1 gets to the bus stop, but some days he just won't go down. I wish he would get some sort of schedule at least but I guess it doesn't really matter since I'm a SAHM.
