Adding am nap back in....

Has anyone from one nap back to two? DD has fallen asleep twice this week at 11, the time of her am nap before she dropped it. Her sleep has been awful lately and I'm wondering if adding the second nap back in would help.

    We sort of did. I guess DD is still just adjusting. About 3 days she gets tired around 1030/11 so she gets 2 naps. The 2nd is usually no more than 45 minutes though. The rest of the week she will take 1 around 1 or 2 for a couple hours. The amount of sleep is usually about the same.

  • We give DS 2 naps every so often. Some days he just needs it. I say if she's tired let her nap.

  • DS will occasionally take a morning nap.  I find that he usually does the day after a daycare day (he usually only goes twice per week).  I think he is just so tired from all the activity.  Most days he only takes an afternoon nap, but it is so nice when he gives us two.

  • DS has started doing this occasionally. He's usually down for one nap around 12:30pm, but some days he'll be out by 10am and then again at 3pm. I think it's growing spurts and teething.
  • We do rarely. If she needs it we will do it. We play by her cues if we can.

  • We did this.  We dropped to one nap for about two weeks and she just got worse after a few days so we went back to two naps for another few weeks.  We now have successfully transitioned to one nap but had to do two today because she got up crazy early (0430 am, yay teething!).  I just play it by ear.

  • My LO has been back and forth again with one or two naps. I never know when he will be getting tired for a nap. Somedays first nap at 9ish and then some days one nap at 12ish. Hard to plan the day.

  • We did for a couple weeks and then went back to one again recently.
  • Once in a while we do give her a 2nd, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night  Just go with the flow and put them down when they're tired.  there is no set way to do things.

  • We just added the morning nap back in. I think it's a combination of him running around outside more, a growth spurt, and some teething but he's been more tired than before and he was getting night terrors. The morning nap has really helped.
