QOTD 1/28

[annarose]

LO takes 1 nap. At daycare its for a solid 2 hours, sometimes almost 2 1/2. At home its always 1 1/2 hours. we are lucky to get 2
Daycare started the transition in her 11th month. She did really well and her nap time has been solid since I would say November

[mommabakes]

Just one nap, for anywhere from 1-3 hours.

She just kind of transitioned herself. I've never been strict with nap times(although I am with bed time), so when she started waiting longer in the morning for a nap,I just went with it.

[Unknown]

1 nap and it's usually just 1-1.5hrs, but once in a blue moon if she wakes up early in the day and ends up napping before noon she'll take a 30min cat nap around 4. It just kind of happened naturally. She only takes one nap at daycare, and by the time she gets home it's to late for us to try and put her down again. It works because she sleeps 12-13hrs a night.

DS apparently can't decide if he wants one nap or two. From about mid-December until last week, it was one nap a day - usually for about 2-2.5 hours. For the past week, it's been two naps per day, each last 1.5-2 hours. He may be going through a spurt, hence the need for more sleep, but it seems like it's been going on a for a while. Frankly, while I value the time to get stuff done, I wish he was back to one nap. It was much easier to schedule things during the day around one nap than it is for two.

This is us too.  2 - 2 1/2 hours at day care and 1 1/2 at home, if we're lucky. On rare occasions she'll nap for 2+ at home and it's heavenly!  

She started doing one nap early at 8 months.  She's never been a happy napper so I was grateful for only having to fight woth her once a day vs 2-3 a day.

One nap here that lasts anywhere from 1-2.5 hours. She transistioned somewhere around 11 months down to 1 nap and would show signs by skipping 1 of her naps, typically the afternoon one because she'd push the morning one further and further back. By the time she'd wake from her "morning" nap there was no way I was going to be putting her down for a second nap that would've been around dinner time because it would push bedtime too late. I kind of just went with her cues and dealt with any of the crabbiness that came with not having that second really late nap and she just fell into her own routine of going down for her nap between 1-2pm.

[fiveohfive]

One nap for us here, usually around noon for 2-2.5 hours. She started pushing her morning nap later and later so her now one nap is basically in the middle of what was her previous two (sorry if that makes no sense!)

[jlprybs927]

LO is at daycare M-F and takes one nap and it ranges anywhere from 1.25-2.25 hour naps, just depending. On the weekends she usually takes about a 2-2.5 hour nap.

[carli]

At daycare DD takes 1 nap a day from 12:30-2:30. They started transitioning to that around a year old but have been firm since she went up a class at 16 months. On weekends she takes 2 naps typically. One in the morning for 1-1.5 hours and one in the afternoon for a couple hours usually. I love the 2 nap schedule at home b/c we get up so early and I honestly need the time to rest myself when we're together all day. I hope that doesn't sound terrible!

[legitsince86]

What I wouldn't give to have LO nap 2 hours!

She transitioned around October/November to one nap. Before she would take two naps, 30 minutes each time.

She only takes one nap, around 12pm-1pm (depending when she starts the day) and typically naps 30mins-1 hour.

[RedDDD]

At day care she sleeps from 12:15 to 2ish. For a long time on the weekends she would still do two naps but she is pretty regular now on the noon to 2:30. She will sleep longer at home. Its nice because my almost 3 year old is also a 12:30 - 3 napper so they have been good about overlapping their naps. YAY!

This is us. DD goes through phases where she'll take only one nap for a few days/weeks and then go back t taking two. It also depends on if she wakes up extra early.

[junewife]

He does one nap at around 12pm, which lasts 1.5-3 hours (usually 2 hours exactly). I forget exactly when we transitioned him, but I think it was around 13/14 months. He was starting to transition himself and ended up having two crappy naps per day, so we sort of forced it. We're all much happier now.

[zoly1103]

We are to 1 nap a day, which was initiated by daycare. He had a hard time transitioning at first on the weekends but we finally were able to stick with the schedule at home after a few weeks.

It seems like lately he hasn't been napping as well at daycare and doing better at home. I assume the other kids are waking him?

[mommytoone]

Most of the time one nap lasting anywhere from 1-3.5 hours.... He still falls asleep sometimes while riding though which is only about 10-15 minutes.. He pretty much transitioned himself once he turned 1.

[sugarkissed]

She goes back and forth still... but typically one nap a day, and usually an hour at most. Although the last few days they've been nearly 3 glorious hours and my house hasn't been this clean in months!!

[happymama]

Generally two. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. They usually last 1-2 hours. She doesn't always want to sleep, but I put her down twice a day regarless and she still seems to benefit even if she just relaxes in her crib for an hour or more but doesn't actually sleep.

[af1004]

Sometimes 1 sometimes 2 depends on what time she woke up and what's going in that day.... times vary. I just go on her cues. Morning naps are about an hour (sometimes her only nap) evenings she'll sleep for 2 but it's often too late to lay her down when she gets ready for one.

[ajaan113]

Usually one nap between either before or after lunch. DS will sleep 2 hours on average. Sometimes 2 naps. DS will fall asleep in chair or even in the car seat but can't or won't fall asleep in his crib.

[smilingeyes]

I like these QOTD's. 

DD still takes two naps. There was a time I thought she was ready to transition to one because she would fight her first nap. That changed though, she definitely still needs that first one. 

She is usually up by 6am, first nap is around 10am and her second nap is around 2-2:30pm and she will usually sleep an hour both naps. 

I am going to try to slowly transition her myself I think. I read somewhere that a "sign" they may be ready is them waking up earlier than usual. She used to sleep until 7:30 - last couple weeks have been 6am. We'll see. 

Sometimes, two naps totally gets in the way of our day! One 2 hour nap after lunch would be PERFECT, lol. 

[marley629]

He takes one nap from about noon to 2:30ish. We switched daycares back in November & they only have 1 nap time so that helped the transition to one long nap. I have noticed he doesn't sleep as well at night however since we transitioned to 1 long nap instead of two
