13 months and naps

[leahwlfe]

What does your babies nap schedule look like at this age? I think mine is napping too much and that is effecting her night time sleep.

She is napping at 930 for about 2  hours and at 130 for about 2 hours. And then she is up and down all night long.

Seems like a lot of nap time to me at this age. Mine are now 7 and 2 1/2 so it is hard for me to remember. 

what is the rest of her schedule like?  I think the thing to keep in mind is total hours of sleep in a 24 hr. period.

what time does she go down, wake up and how long and often are her night wakings?

[leahwlfe]

She is probably getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep a day or maybe even 4 hours. She goes down at 730 and wakes between 630 and 700. When she wakes at night she will either cry out for a couple of minutes then back to sleep or stay up and talk for a couple of minutes. So total hours might be 14-15 hours.

I also think that she is sleeping too much during the day & is probably up all night becuase of that. I would start shortening her morning nap to 1hr & let her have 1.5-2hrs in the pm. If you think she could handle longer A times, you could try for 1 nap around 11am & let her sleep 2.5hrs then & do bedtime 4.5 hrs later.

At 13months Jasmine was doing

6ish - wakes
9:30-10:15 - morning nap
1:30-3pm - afternoon nap
6.30/7pm - bedtime
