8 month only one good nap
« on: March 19, 2013, 19:12:10 pm »
So I am having issues with PM nap. It is always between 40 min to an hour tops no matter what I do.  Shouldi just accept it or keep trying to push out A.  She has always been on the high end.  When do LOs go to a 1.5 and 1 hour nap?

Wu 6:30
S.  9:45 - 11:15
S. 2:45 - 3:30 or 2:30- 3:10
BT 7:30 after 7:15 bottle.

Should I just accept this. She will be exactly 8 months by calendar in two days.

Have you tried capping the am nap at an hour to get a longer pm nap?  This is what I do because I prefer the pm one to be the long one, and the am one to gradually get shorter until it's time for it to disappear.

I am just excited that I have the morning nap finally past the 40 min mark I would hate to mess with it.  Do you think my EASY looks ok.  Do you think that is enough of S.

I am kind of the wrong person to ask about EASY, LOL.  My memory of age appropriate A times is fuzzy.  I don't really follow EASY anymore, I do more of a set routine with my 9mo.  Is your LO generally happy?  If so then it is probably enough sleep.  At some point you will have to cap one of the naps, and if you don't want to mess with the morning one then you might have to accept a shorter pm one.  FWIW, that's about the same amount my DD was napping at 8 months, it's just I would try and do an hour in the am and 1.5hrs in the pm.

Thank you. I am also leaning to set naps
