Re: how many naps?
I let him lead the way since I am still on maternity leave.
We get up in the morning whenever HE is ready for the day.
I've seen him wake up at 7am then nap for 3 hours at 9am then be up until bedtime (8-9pm).
I've also seen days where he wakes between 8&9am then has 2 naps for an hour or two each.
When I return to work he will be on a schedule since I will need to drop him at a sitters. Then he will figure out a good nap schedule.
Fwiw, DS1 was not a fan of more than one nap from a very young age.
And DD almost refused any naps from 6 months on.
If she's up by 6 then nap at 8 and 12 and a "snap" around 4.30. But if she's up at 6.30/6 then she naps at 9 and then a two hour from 1-3 with not snap.
She usually totals about 14 hours with nightime sleep from 7am to 6 am.
At night she sleeps about 11-12 hours with 1 or 2 wake ups.
I should clarify that her afternoon nap is around 4 or 430 pm and her "morning" is like 1130 ish but like today didn't nap until 12 until 130. So if we did cut out the afternoon nap, her one nap would be early afternoon.
I guess I'll experiment. Even if she does go down to one, I know she'll likely have many days here and there where she does still need two and some days take one before she transitions to just one everyday.

I admit while I still put her down awake for bed, I'm generally singing to her until she has pretty much dozed off for naptime lately. She is just so wired anymore that if I put her down awake for naps it pretty much fails miserably. (I tried putting her down awake for her first nap today, and it was a disaster. :-/)
