Nap poll

I'm just looking to see where we fit in the mix.

I feel like it took us forever to transition from 2 naps down to one, probably was really only about 2 months. I also think part of the problem was that I didn't change the nap time, so I tried adjusting that today, which is so far going well, so we'll try again tomorrow and give it at least a week. DS was such an easy transition, I'm surprised by how hard this has been.

We followed DS's lead on the naps. In November and December he was down to one nap a day for most of the week, but then in January he went back to 2 naps a day for a couple weeks. Now he's down to one again, I assume until he's done with naps altogether.

Actually, even that one nap seems to be getting shorter now. Hope it's not a sign that he's done with naps completely!

We didn't try to transition down to one, it just happened. Our problem is she dropped her afternoon nap, but hasn't pushed up her morning nap. By bedtime LO has been awake for like 7+hrs and is just the crankiest little person ever. I would love to get a later nap but she will fall asleep and not give me the opportunity to put her down later.

Around November, we transitioned to one nap from 12-2 (instead of 10-11 and 2-3). During the transition, we tried to plan fun/distracting things to do during the time he'd normally take his morning nap.

I voted 2 but I think DD is in the process of transitioning to one nap. She only sleeps during her morning nap maybe half the time. Many days she just has quiet time in her crib for 1-1.5 hours but doesn't sleep. She reads books, sings, talks to herself, and just relaxes.

We take one nap from 12-2/3.... She starts to get sleepy around 10:45 so we distract her from 11-11:30 and then have a snack/diaper change/books. If we run errands in the am we need to be out of the car by 10:30 or she takes a mini nap and that's all we get for the day

happymama I know exactly what you mean but the picture of LOs just chilling and doing their thing in their crib made me giggle.

This is a big problem for us. I can't help it on preschool days, so we'll see how tomorrow goes. Today, I think she heard me answer my phone and woke up after less than 1.5 hours, and I had to modify her snack routine.
