I think this is a common time for nap transitions and wondered what naps were like for your little ones right now... How many? Bonus if you say how long :-)

spainy17 · March 2014

I think we are fully down to one nap at this point. We had a few weeks of transition but it had been a week of one now. Currently lasts about 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

It's been weird recently, DDs been down to one nap, made the transition around a month ago, but recently she takes the occasional early morning nap, then an afternoon nap. I think it's mainly teething related, but am unsure. She normally naps once a day from around 1230 to about 2 pm ish, on the rare 2 nap days the first lasts about an hour and the second from 1 - 1.5 hours.

We are still at 2 naps.

1.5-2 hours in the morning about 9-11

and 1.5-2 hours in the afternoon about 3-5

DD naps 2-3 hours at home on the weekends...and 15 mins at daycare during the week. Aaargh.

Sep5Bride · March 2014

At home: 2 90-min naps. At DC: 1 or 2 40-min, definitely varies and they are struggling to get her down for the 2nd nap most days.

We're having a GREAT day during the week if DD goes down for a 20-minute nap. Most days she goes from 7am to 8pm nonstop.

However, on weekends she has no problem taking 2-3 naps. Most of the time, the only thing different is Daddy is home. (Sometimes I beginning to think DH doesn't believe me when I say she doesn't nap during the day!)

We've been on one nap for a while now. DD has never been one to fall asleep anywhere and her one nap has to be timed very well. Typically she sleeps anywhere from 1-3 hours (2 is pretty much standard) about three hours after she wakes up.

ConstanceGoodspeed · March 2014

One 3 hour nap around noon. It is glorious to have that long stretch of time. I am loving one nap.

Smiley-1980 · March 2014

We have been at one nap since she was 8 mths old. It used to be from 10-1 and now it's from 1-3:30

gagirl2004 · March 2014

We have been down to one nap for over 4 months. She usually sleeps from 12-2

MarinsMom · March 2014

DD is ALMOST down to just 1 nap but is better with a little catnap too. Our current routine for the last few weeks has been a 5-20 minute catnap in the car on the way to or from an activity/store around 10 or 11. Then we come home around 1 or 2 for a real nap. Usually 2+ hours.

JJsMum · March 2014

We've been down to 1 nap since January. Occasionally we need a 2nd nap, but that's not very often. He usually goes down around 12:30 for 3-4 hours. It's nice because DS#1 usually manages to have 'quiet time' reliably from 1:30-3. Gives me a nice break.

ambmama · March 2014

Taylor naps 1x during the week at school 12-1:30ish, but naps 2x on weekends (9:30-11:30 and 1:30-3:30). I'm hanging on to 2 naps for as long as we can!!

this decaf life · March 2014

DD is 14.5 months old and has 2 naps that both are 1 to 1.5 hours in length.

ungraceful13 · March 2014

We've been on mainly one nap for a couple months now. Ussually around 2hrs long. Occasionally she will have a day or two where it is 2 naps though especially if she wakes up early or has a short nap.

Same here with my DD

codeaard · March 2014

We still have 2 naps. One at 11 and one at 3. The first nap is usually 1.5 hours and the second is about 45-60 minutes. I don't let him sleep past 4:30 other wise bed time never happens. He's lately had a few days where has only taken 1 nap so I'm wondering if we are slowly trasitioning.

URMySunshine77 · March 2014

Regularly, DS naps 9:30-11 a.m. and 2:30-3:30 p.m., but he has been dropping the second nap here or there. I have considered trying a one nap day, but he wakes up early enough that he gets tired for his first nap after three hours.

Strangely, he can go from 11:30 to 7 without a nap. He doesn't melt down. The only downside is that he wakes up a lot at night when this happens.

aklawrence1 · March 2014

Just one nap here. But that was because of daycare. I'm not sure she was ready when they made the transition but she moved up a room and they have a set nap time. It usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. She still will take 2 naps on the weekends sometimes but it isn't often.

jobiann · March 2014

Honestly, every day is different, I think he is weaning onto just one nap, but he also has a cold, an ear infection and his top molars from hell are coming in....so every day is different.

He naps about 5 hours after he wakes, and he naps anywhere from 2-3 hours...usually 3 now. (I know even though its only one nap I have it good. This is not a complaint post!)

Same here!

ZaydensMomma · March 2014

I'm sorry that this is a little late. I voted for just one nap. He was taking two naps up until a week or two ago when I finally got him weaned from the bottle completely. Also, I think it is because he is getting a better night's rest because he is sttn. He naps at noonish everyday for 3-4 hours. I usually wake him up if he tries making his nap longer than that. Otherwise, I'll be up til 11 at night trying to get him settled down enough for him to fall asleep.

ObLaDi · March 2014

Usually 1 nap at daycare, usually 2 naps at home. They range anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours, with no way to predict which one you're going to get!
