Pushing to 1 nap - what time?
« on: April 25, 2012, 21:31:12 pm »
I think the 2 naps are done for Grace.   :(  She's refused nap #2 for a few days in a row now.  I 've been resisting the move since EBT is going to mean a lot of days I don't see her in the coming weeks but this just isn't working.  :(

Here's what we've been doing:

6-6:45 (depending on her brother's WU! ::)): A
11ish: S
12:15ish: A (usually 1h15-1h30, no more)
4:15ish: S
4:45/5: A
7:15/7:30: S

But, like I said, no 2nd nap the last few days so she's been asleep closer to 6:45/7. 

What time should we shoot for for the 1 nap?  I'm thinking of trying a set time for a week or so and letting her adjust.  I'm here during the day (working nights, argh) in the next couple of weeks so this won't be an issue but normally 3 mornings a week DS is in preschool and needs to be picked up at noon so she couldn't sleep until 12:15 or 12:30.   Should we do that time off the bat or try sometime more like 11:45 or 12 and try to gradually move it over the next couple of weeks?

So nervous but I think this is the right thing to do....::)

If DS doesn't have school the next few weeks I would aim for 11.45 for a week with the aim to get the nap to after the school run in the longer term but to try and avoid too much OT.  I do think it is best to push through but moving from 11 to 12.30 in one go may be a bit much.

Thanks, Shiv.  We'll start with 11:45 today and see how we go.  :)
