13 MO napping too much
« on: August 08, 2006, 23:27:43 pm »
Hey guys,

Seems that Santiago is sleeping super long streches again.  He's still taking a 2 hour am and pm nap. I know I should be counting my blessings with all the "ME" time I'm getting, but I can't help but to feel a bit worried. At this age they usually begin to drop a nap, not keep them going!

His schedule looks like this :

6:45 am - Wake up
7:00 am - Breakfast
7:30 am - Playtime
9:30 am - Nap
11:30 am - Wake
12:30 pm - Lunch
1:00 pm - Playtime
4:00 pm  - Nap
6:00 pm - Wake
6:30 pm - Dinner
7:30 pm - Bath
8:00 pm - Bed

He will actually fall asleep on his toys at naptime, no matter what I try to do to keep him up. I tried doing one nap and got a 5 hour pm nap in the end  :-\ . We just got home from a 3 week vacation to the states and he didn;t even let THAT interrupt his sleep. No matter where we were as soon as the clock struck 9:30 or 4:00 he was out like a light.

Any insights?

TIA

Thanks Stacy,

I think that since his napping has been SO off the norm that it does make alarm bells go off in my head.  Medically he's fine, had a well baby check up 3 weeks ago and is as healthy as a horse.  I guess it's just my freak-out-mommy- mode that gets the best of me.  :-\

Our schedule looks a bit different to yours but at almost 13 months William still sleeps for 2 hours in the morning and about 1.5 to 2 hours in the afternoon.. and all through the night... so your lovely LO is not alone!

Enjoy it!   :) :) :) My lo took 4 hours in naps from 9months-13 months.  The day he turned 14 months, he changed and now is on 1 nap a day for 2-3 hours.

I miss my 2 hours in the am and 2 hours in the afternoon.....Sigh....

I'm sure nothing is wrong with him!!

I was about to post with the same question, but now I see that I am not alone. My 14 month old takes a 1-2 hr in the morning and a 2-4 hr in the pm, then goes to bed at 9pm. and gets up about 8am.

He is within the normal range though :)

It just looks much but you need to consider that he has a relatively short night (only 10,5 hours) plus 4 hours nap is only 14,5 hours, comepletely average that age age. A lot of 13 month olds will sleep 12 a night and 3 a day... that is about the same amount of sleep :)
