How many naps per day on a normal day is happening with your O16?

I clicked 3, but it is really a toss up between 2 and 3.

Typical schedule-
Up at 7
Nap 1 at 9
Nap 2 at 12
Nap 3 at 4
Bedtime 630

Sometimes his second nap doesn't happen until 1ish, so he doesn't have a third nap. His naps are always better if we're home all day, or if we're only out during his awake windows and he doesn't cat nap on the go, but that rarely happens.

<--- pretty much this for us too.

We're not very scheduled at home, but 2-3 naps most days. At daycare naps are at 8:30 and at 12.

I'd say 3 is typical, but schedule is easily disturbed by big brother.

Up at 7
9:00 - hour nap
12:30 - 2 hour nap
5:00 - cat nap
7:15 bed

But it's really dependent on what we're doing. Sometimes he'll get a late morning nap in the stroller or carrier, the long afternoon nap will be later, and he won't have an evening cat nap.

We're really struggling with the afternoon/evening nap timing. If he doesn't get a nap in, he's a grumpy mess and it's hard to get him through dinner. But even a short nap too late makes him hard to put to bed.

1 or 2 for us (at home, at daycare it ranges between 0 and 3 cat naps 😳) Usual schedule on weekends...

Up at 6ish, back down fill between 8 and 9
1st nap 10/11 until 12/1ish
2nd nap (if his 1st nap is less than 2 hrs) 3ish until 4:30ish
Bedtime 7-7:30 (he STTN)

This is basically us too.

I voted special snowflake, because G is not a fan of napping on any type of schedule. Sometimes it's 1 nap, sometimes 2, sometimes 3.

Thanks for the input! I think we're hitting the transition from 3 to 2, but that last wake time if there's no cat nap is killer. I'm seeing her middle nap need to be later and later, but it won't coincide with dd1s nap if I go with it. Which is a little selfish of me for not wanting to. But we'll see.

I have noticed even if my kid takes his cat nap at 5:00pm, he's still ready for bed by 7 and sleeps the same.

Ditto. Sometimes she falls asleep at 6pm, and still goes to bed at 8pm without issue.

I am pretty positive Lil P still takes 4. She is still in the 20 min- 1/2 hour nap phase for some reason. Probably because we are always going somewhere. I hope they condense soon.
