When to drop the cat nap???
« on: July 23, 2010, 11:39:25 am »
When exactly do you drop the cat nap? How much naptime should a 6.5 month old be getting?

hi there :)

LOs are ready to drop the catnap when they are doing A times of 3 hrs or more - generally this is around the 6.5-7 month range.  Nap sleep of this age ranges anywhere from 2 naps of 1.5 each, to 2 long naps and a catnap.

HTH!

Is there a link that has a chart for sleep amounts depending on age, etc...?

Where is this "cat nap board"? :)
I'm confused about keeping DD up so long. If her 2nd nap of the day ends at about 3, that would be over 3 hours of activity time and she will definitely be OT by then!
