When did you start capping the nap?
« on: March 24, 2014, 14:05:47 pm »
DS is 22 months now and reliably does 2 hour nap 12.30/12.45 but WU is still 5.30-6pm. He seems to be stuck at 10.5/10.75 day.
I've tried 13 hour day, 12.5 hour day makes no difference. Has got 2 canines on the way but not seeming to be suffering massively, is very happy in the day and wakes up shouting mummy not crying. I'm not changing anything until teeth are through and we are on week 2 of gro clock.

Just wondered when people started capping the nap? x

We started capping at 22 months when he started sleeping 9.5-10hrs at night.

At 27 months we capped from 2 hours to 1.5 and now at 34 months we are down to an hour.
With DS we capped at 22 months from 2 hours to 1.5.

We started capping just over a week ago, but also had to push out to. 1/1.30 start to get the 5.30 wake ups to move out. We get 11hrs again generally!! Before it was 10.5

I think we've always capped to some extent - ie max nap time is....

At 22m we were capping at 2h and 11.5 on average at night. That went to 1h45m at 27m and currently at 32m we cap at 1h30 and are getting around an 11h night

Thanks ladies, I think I'll wait for these teeth then prob try capping at 1.75. Today at nursery did monster 2.5 hour nap which he never ever does there so maybe something's happening with those pesky teeth! Took ages to go to sleep tonight!x

I tried capping to 1.45 but it just didn't work. So now at 22 months we are capping at 1.5hrs and he seems much better. Sleeping about 11hrs at night sticking to a 13hr day.
