Quick response re 2nd nap time???

[rugbykaf]

Hi there,

Been struggling with short naps FOREVER! Anyways, over the last week we've had some success with the following:

 Wake 6.15 - 6.30am
Nap 1 - 9.30am (they wake themselves after 30mins)
Nap 2 - 12.30pm (2.5 hr A time following short nap)
This 2nd nap has started to lengthen to between 1.25 to 1.5 hrs.

However today they slept for an hour this morning so woke at 10.30am!

Question is . . . what time should I put them down this aft??? They are 10 months old.

Many thanks

Maybe after a 3-3.5 hr Atime? Some LOs that age can do a full A after 1hr good luck!

Hi thanks

I took them upstairs just before the 3hr mark - J seemed ready and was asleep within 5 mins, E ended up doing 3hrs 15 A time as he was too busy pulling himself up (the latest craze  )

Both slept exactly 1hr 10mins!

I was quite happy with that.  If the same happens again tomorrow I'll do the same I think. Then maybe push out the 2nd A time after a couple of days if all goes well.

wdyt?

Sounds Ike your on the right track, at this age your probably starting to hit the 2-1. You may need to start capping one nap to fit the day in if it gets too long. (the day)
