What age do you swap from 2 to 1 naps?
« on: August 18, 2006, 11:59:33 am »
My little girl is nearly 12 mths and her routine is as follows:

Up at 7am
Bottle
Breakfast 8:30
Nap 9:30  - 10.30ish
Lunch 12.30
Nap 2:30 - 4:00
Tea 5:00
Bottle 7:30
Bed at 8

At what age do you start pushing forward the morning nap in order to cut the afternoon one out?
Thanks
Marion.

Sorry to jump in on your post, but I have been wondering the same thing.  What if your lo is resisting the afternoon nap?  My ds is right on staying up 2 1/2 hours in the morning and then taking a good solid 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap.  But in the last two days, he has been up 3-4 hours before he will finally go down for an afternoon nap.  Any ideas?

He isn't crying in the crib, just NOT going to sleep after I put him down.  However, before I go to his room and do the wind down, he shows signs of being tired, i.e. crankiness and eye rubbing. (my lo is 7 1/2 mo)

It won't be bad to wake him early from the nap?

Nope not working.  We let him sleep 1 hour 15 minutes this morning.....he was cranky all morning and is now not going down for his afternoon nap, again.  It's been 1 hour 15 minutes of trying to get him to go down.

My LO was up for 5 hours this afternoon with 2 1/2 of them trying to get him to nap.

Any ideas?

We have for a while now.  At about 5-6 months he refused to go down for cat naps.  It was a fight that didn't seem worth it to me.
