Daytime nap/schedule

[Deleted]

Just touching base to see what everyone's schedule is looking like for their 15/16 month old.

Right now it looks like A is transitioning to 1 nap but sometimes she still does 2. This morning she woke up at 530 and is now napping at 830am...

This week it has mostly been:

Wake 6am or 7am
Nap 1130am-2pm
Bedtime 7pm

[Bluedaisy]

Right now we have no home schedule because lo has been sick but our usual schedule is up at 7am, nap from 1 to about 2 or 2:30 and then 8n bed by 7pm.

We've been solidly on one nap for a while now, but it's recently been pushed to a bit later, even at home, since he's been in the toddle room. So the day looks like:

Wake around 7
Nap about 12-2
Start bedtime routine around 7, in bed by about 7:30/8.

I'm really in love with this schedule because we get to eat lunch together, and maybe get back to going out for lunch on weekends without it being right in the middle of nap time. Which means he's going to want to change things again soon, probably.

jillywilly I'm loving the 1 afternoon nap schedule too. It's so much more flexible

[tiffbot]

We've been one nap for awhile too.

Average schedule for both kids is

7:30ish wake up

12:45-2:30 or 3 nap (DS takes quiet time in his room here)

Bedtime by 8

[billyhorrible]

He does 1 nap at daycare, but 2 at home.

Wake: Somewhere between 4:15am and 6am
Nap 1: 9:30am, about 45 minute
Nap 2: 1:00pm, about 45 minutes
Bedtime: 7:30pm

W just transitioned to 1 nap at home about a week ago (he's been down to 1 at daycare since April) so now he follows the same schedule most days:

7am wake up
8 breakfast
11:30 lunch
12-2 nap
2:30 snack
5:30 dinner
7 bath then bed

This is pretty much our schedule exactly except lunch at 12:00 and Dinner at 6.

[Widget123]

5-5:30am wake-up M-F, 6-7am wake-up on weekends
breakfast around 8am
lunch around 11:30-noon
nap M-F around noon-2pm, on weekends usually around 2-3pm and may only be about an hour
snack M-F around 2:30pm, no formal snack on weekends
bedtime 7:30pm-8:15pm

[beersandweirs]

Wake 6:15 or so
Nap 9:30-11:30 at the nanny's (I know, it's early, but it's what works) or 10:30-12:30 at home
Bedtime starts at 6:30

[erbear]

Wake up between 6-6:30
Nap? Hah. If she takes one at home it's between 10-11 and is for usually no more than 1 hour. More often than not she fights it and takes a 30-60 minute nap in the car.
Bed at 7.

[heartofglass]

We're still in the two nap club. 1st Sometime between 9-10 usually lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. 2nd between 2-3 about 1 hour. Some days he does skip a nap and then some days he takes 3 (like now when he's sick ). Bedtime starts between 7:30-8, could take 5 minutes or an hour.

[musicfrk2002]

Up between 730 and 8 (usually)
Nap for 2 or 2.5 hours, starting anywhere between noon and 2 pm. I have to wake him up by 3 Monday through Wednesday so I can get him to daycare and myself to work on time
Bed around 8/830

[shahoi]

I'm so jealous of these 2+ hour naps. O napped today for 30 minutes in the car and that's all. And she had shots today!

. This seems like what A is doing today. She napped from 830am-11am and doesn't seem to want another nap so maybe I'll try putting her to bed at 6 or 630...

It's what works for us since we have to be up early for work, but damn if it doesn't suck on the weekends.

This almost exactly.

And us. Girl hates sleep. I'm not sure that she's actually my child...

[holliberry28]

Wake up sometime between 5:30-6:15
Trying to push to one nap so that's usually 10-11:30/12, but if he falls asleep at 9 then he'll usually take a second nap at 2-3 for an hour. I'd much rather one nap a day because then bedtime is at 6:30 vs. 8 pm on a two nap day and then he's not getting enough nighttime sleep.

[Deleted]

This is so typical. Ever since I started this thread A went back to 2 naps a day. So now it's more like this

Wake:630
Nap 930 (1 hr)
Nap 130 (1hr or 2hr)
Bedtime 730

[dmoney]

We are still at 2 naps a day.

Wake-up 6:30-8 depending if we have to wake her (6:30 during the week) and most days on the weekend she will sleep till 7:45ish.
At home or at my MIL';s Nap 1 is 10-12ish
Nap 2 is 3-5ish
bed time is 7pm

[dogmama22]

Z would love to take two naps per day, but wants to sleep 11-1:30 and then 4-6 and stay up until 11. That doesn't work for mama, so I usually push him to only one nap.
7:00 up for the day (usually a little later on my days off)
1:00-3:00+ nap
8:30/9 bed

He hates going to sleep, but sleeps well once he's there.

[jessila]

O is 90% on 1 nap.
Up 6:30/7
Nap 12:30/1 for 1-3 hours
Bedtime 7:30/8

We've found that pushing nap after lunch really helps.

Then there are days like yesterday with one 20 minute nap. No thanks.
