We've done one nap a couple times. I know my LO definitely isn't ready to drop the second nap but each kid is different. If he can stay awake that one in the morning and evening (mostly happy and not making himself and everyone else miserable) then it's fine.
Sometimes on the weekend Z will take a really long nap in the morning (3+hrs) and then either won't take an afternoon nap, or it's very short (20min). I think it's fine every once in a while to take one nap as long as they are getting the same amount of sleep.
S only naps twice a day at daycare, usually 1-1.5 hrs each. A couple times at home he has only done one but that's been... Unpleasant.. So yeah, 2 is the right number for now
I don't think you need to worry about it as an occasional thing but I do agree that two naps is the preferable number vs one longer one. Is daycare giving him the Opportunity to nap in the morning on those days he stays awake? As long as they are and it's not a frequent occurrence, I think you're fine
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
For M, if she naps any less than two times, she gets over tired and is a beast when it comes to bedtime. At home, she naps best in her crib and they are usually between an hour or two. At DC, something. An hour or two and always in a crib.
Ramona's napping has always been a mess. At home she naps for 30-45 minutes twice a day. At day care she sometimes takes short naps, but also takes 1.5-3 hour naps.
She does not nap in her crib, that makes her lose her shit. I am going to work on naps next, after we get this sleep training at bedtime locked down.
Supposedly once they can handle nighttime, napping naturally falls into place? At least all the books I've read say so, but you know, books and real life are the same thing.
