should i go back to capping the nap?!
« on: January 06, 2013, 14:46:26 pm »
i had been capping the AM nap at 2hrs (if she went that long) & then doing a 30min PM CN....
In the last week or so, I've been letting her sleep away & sometimes that AM nap stretches to 2hr 20...that then makes our PM CN, & hence BT very late!
the reason i stopped capping the AM nap was because I read somewhere here that i shouldnt be capping both naps....
help!!!!
DD has always been very low A & very high S needs, so i honestly don't think she is ready for just a 1-nap day!

If I remember correctly it's not capping if they reach 2hrs and you wake them up. It's only capping if it's less than 2hrs.

If she was doing a good 2hr nap and a cat nap then I would stick with capping them. i'm no expert but if it was working and she wasn't OT (I don't know how old your LO is) then I'd stick with it. If she's not ready for 1 nap there is no harm in capping at 2hrs.

While I've read many go to one nap at 10/11 months many don't. If you know your LO is high sleep needs and it was working then I wouldn't change it. When you start getting shorter AM naps or complete refusal of the cat nap and EW you'll want to think about moving that nap later in the day but for now you're probably just fine.
