hey Sara!! When Ellen was on two naps, she only ever napped 1.5 hrs. I always thought it *should* be 2 (probably b/c I wanted it to be 2
), but then I realized that 1.5 worked for her and that's all I was going to get. I think if I were you, first and foremost, I'd do whatever worked to get him a good night's sleep, even if that meant two 1hr naps.
But also, the naps don't have to be equal. If he's more tired in the morning, you could let him sleep however long for that one and then cap only the second nap, or vice versa. So if he'll sleep 2hrs in the am, you could cap his afternoon nap to make sure to leave enough atime before bed, kwim?So if he needs 3 hrs before bed, you could cap his nap to never end past 4 and then put him to bed at 7. And if he short-naps in the morning for some reason, you can let him catch up on it in the afternoon. But also, they can have too much total daytime sleep. At that age, if I let Ellen sleep more than 3 hrs total during the day, she'd have NW, no matter how much atime she had before bed.
HTH!!!!
