QOTD 4/15

[af1004]

What time is nap time?
I know we've been over and over this but it seems like our LOs needs are always changing so where are you now? Also include how long nap is.

[af1004]

At home we nap between 11:30 and 12. She did nap for 2 hours consistently but has only been napping for an hour for several days now. At "school" is 12:30/12:45 and for 1 hour 15 min. At MIL the times vary, she waits until she thinks DD is sleepy and DD usually naps the same time as at school. She's been super tired in the afternoons making me think we need to push nap time a little later at home.

I try to keep her up until about 1…. she's usually tired before that, but if I let her nap any earlier she's super grumpy in the late afternoon. If she falls asleep at 1 she typically sleeps until about 3-3:30.

[mommabakes]

She normally goes down around 9:30 and naps for 2ish hours. Then she's happy all afternoon and ready for bed by 7 or so. This works out really well for me.

DD goes down for a nap between 12 and 12:30 and sleeps for 2 to 2.5 hours. She loves her sleep!

We think DS is switching up his schedule a bit again. He's still taking one nap, usually going down between 12 and 1, but sometimes he stretches it until 2. He was sleeping for 2 hours regularly, but it's been an hour/hour and fifteen minutes for the past week or so. The shorter naps are making him cranky around dinner time

At daycare DD takes a nap from 12-2:20 with no problems
- puts herself to bed and everything. At home......different story! About a month ago she started screaming bloody murder the moment we put her in her bed for nap. The only way we get her to nap now is by car so we usually try to be out somewhere so the drive home will put her to sleep. We can easily transfer her to crib without waking and she sleeps any where from 1 to 2 hours. We usually do this around 1pm. Of we are home we try the crib first around 12 like at school, usually give up by 1 and hop in the car. I want to get back into running so I may use this time to throw her in the jogging stroller, to bad it's soo got already at noon here in Fl

Both my 3 year old and DD (19 months) go down about the same time at DC which is 12:15. DD will sleep usually until about 2 sometimes earlier. At home she does about the same which sucks. She has never been a great sleeper. My 3 year old on the other hand I have to wake up at 4 or he will keep on sleeping! But he will go down later at home like 1ish.

3-ish to 5:30ish, depending on how quickly they fall asleep/wake up. Lately, Kayla hasn't been falling asleep until 4-4:30, then she gets mad when it's time to get up and have dinner.

DD is all over the place. We still try for both a morning and afternoon nap. She naps from anywhere between 1-3 hours. Sometimes she will skip a nap and only take one longer one, She just chills in her crib for an hour and a half and relaxes, talks, and reads books but doesn't actually sleep. She sleeps for around 12 hours at night.

We follow what daycare does, which is in the 11:30-2:00 range. It varies each day though what time he goes to bed and how long he will actually sleep.

[legitsince86]

Anywhere from 11:30-12:30 depending on when she wakes up. She typically naps for about an hour. Very rarely she'll nap longer.
I've postponed trying to get her to nap in her crib. Most of the time DH is gone, I'm tired so I lay down in my bed with her.

[Unknown]

12:30-2:00 during week days and on weekends 10:00-11:30 & again 4:00-5:00. She is so tired from daycare she usually needs an extra cat nap on weekends.

[lilqt3929]

DD goes down for a nap between 12:45-1:45 depending on when she wakes up, I try to aim for about 5 hours of awake time since that works best for her. She will normally nap for about 2 hours. Lately she's been refusing naps, especially in her crib, so I will hop in the car and take her for a drive so she will at least get 30 minutes or so of sleep for her sanity and mine, haha.

[redfraggle]

Both kids usually go for nap/quiet time around 12:45 and get up somewhere between 2:30 and 3. But today, it was 12:22 when I decided it was nap time--both kids crying and annoying each other on purpose, DD throwing herself around my legs or at my feet while I was trying to cook noodles and chicken for tonight's pasta salad, and DS screaming and then sulking when I took the toy bird he was terrorizing his sister with. They were so good yesterday--can I have those kids back?

Tangent over. Vent over. I needed that. Thank you!

DD does still take a morning nap around 9:30/10 for about half an hour some days, but I think she's pretty much kicked that habit.

[krose]

Usually between 11-12, and she'll sleep anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours. If we are in the car anytime after 10am though, she will fall asleep. This is bad news because if she sleeps for even 5 minutes in the car, she won't nap for the rest of the day.

[girlonfire]

12:30 for DC and at home. She usually naps for just over an hour but a few times lately she's slept for 2 glorious hours. I've never been one to nap but I'm starting to now because of the extra time and I feel ready to take on the world after. I hope this lasts!

[junewife]

Usually from 12-2 at home and at daycare

[marley629]

At daycare mon-thurs he naps for 2 hours from 12 until they wake him at 2. I may get flamed for this but on friday thru sun when he's home, he naps for 4-5hours from 12-4/5ish and still goes to bed by 8. We have a good sleeper but a horrible picky eater.
