How do I adjust my dd's nap schedule today?? Please advise
« on: October 16, 2009, 12:49:08 pm »
My daughter is a good napper most of the time. She usually goes to bed at 8PM, wakes up at 6:30AM and then takes her first nap between 9:30 and 10AM, and her second nap between 3 and 3:30PM. So she's up for a little over 3 hours before her first nap, and she's up for a little over 4 hours before her second nap. The span of awake time before her bedtime is usally 3 to 3.5 hours.

This morning she woke up uncharacteristically late. She woke up at almost 8AM. So I'm confused about how I should deal with her nap schedule today. Any suggestions? I don't want her going to bed tonight super late, but that's what would happen if I followed her typical schedule of 3 hours of A time, followed by 4, follwed by 3 again. But if I give her just one nap then I'd have to put her to bed super early. She usually naps about an hour 15 minutes or so per nap.

please advise if you have any thoughts on this. Thank you  very much!!

You could cut one of her naps a bit short?

How long are you LO's naps??  Also what times does she go to bed and wake?  Just wondering because I often have you situation crop up when my Lo takes good naps.

How old is she? Is she transitioning to 1 nap?

1 hour 15 min nap means she could probably handles slightly more A time. You could cut the first nap shorter and then have nap 2 earlierthan after 4 hours A time and hopefully itwould be a longer nap
