I have only used quiet time when we dropped the last nap. In fact we all seem to prefer to have quiet time after lunch.  ;D ;)

Hi trimbler! Some of us are at the toddler version thread of 2-1. See you there?

So my LO has dropped her morning nap for the second time this week. The first day her afternoon nap  lasted about 1.5hrs but today her afternoon nap lasted 3 hours!  :o

Will that take away from her night time sleep and cause NW?  How long should this single afternoon nap be ideally? 

Thanks!!

2-3 hours nap with 11-12 overnight is said to be 'average' or 'typical'.  Every baby is different though so some will do a 3h nap and 12h night while others will need the nap shortening to preserve night sleep.  At such an early stage of the 2-1 though I wouldn't be limiting naps x

I think she might do better with less day time sleep because she had several NW. I'm going to see how she does today. I have a feeling she'll have 2 naps because she seems a bit tired this morning. 

Also I posted this comment outside of this thread since I originally got an error message while trying to post here. Oops

Despite the long nap those NWs could be OT, not UT - very common during transition x

Hey Trimbler !! Are you thinking of gradually going to 1 nap now ? We are here too. I find if dd has a decent first nap and its towards midday I put her in bed early and she Sleeps through. Where as 2 naps are making the day way too long and causing NW's. What is your routine looking like at the moment? We are at 4.5 AT in the morning !!! Then a 30 min catnap when she seems tired, usually not till 4hrs and depending on what time she woke up. Otherwise EBT.
Hope you are well !

Haha Laura just replied to you on the toddler 2-1 thread, which is probably where I'll end up hanging out more, although I don't think I'll properly consider Dd a toddler until she's actually walking :P We're ok thanks, just dealing with illness so I'm blaming everything on that ;) Not quite ready for one nap just yet, but definitely needing to cap, doing short-long as that fits better with the rest of the family and childcare from September, although I suspect she'd prefer long-short really.

Hey ladies quick question....what would you do in this situation. I feel like really it's my only opti I need so maybe I just want reassurance that it's not the worst thing ever lol.

DS has been doing good with one nap most days unless he wakes up super early. Well this is all pretty recent...maybe the last 2 or 3 weeks. He will eat lunch around 11 or 1130 and then go down for his nap around noon. Dd starts k-4 next week from 9-12. So I feel like all I can do is give him lunch before we leave around 11 and he's just gonna fall asleep in the car. Im hoping i can hold him off fo a bit atleast until we are heading back and i can transfer him to the crib. I hate that hisbonly nap is going to be so weird....are there any other options :(

Oh dear sorry just noticed this, think we've all disappeared off to the 2-1 thread on Toddler Sleep! Join us there? Probably too late to reply now, but the only thing I can think of is to try and shift his day so that he's getting up a bit later - would that be possible at all or just make the morning too rushed and stressful? Can DD gently keep him awake in the car? It's hard fitting around everything isn't it!

What has worked for you dealing with chromic over tiredness.
Bub does one long am and short pm nap.  She is waking two hourly at night, and screaming/finding hard to settle for ALL naps/sleep.  What should be my next best step.  Please help.

AP long naps, put down for bed as soon as tired and make sure you are dealing with any discomfort as best you can - I think LO has a tummy bug right now?  ((Hugs))

Thanks.  Tummy bug fixed! Yay.
I'm now finding there are more wake ups in the night if she has two day naps.  She wakes 5.30am no matter what so I think maybe habitual. But, after two days of one nap and early bedtime, she wakes often at night perhaps from over tiredness (the first two night were fine).  What should I do? 
After a 4hr wake time looking tired, she's chatting in cot (woke 6.30, put yo bed 10.30ish).  Should I just keep pushing her through later to achieve one nap?

If I do just keep pushing for one nap, would this bt look right?
6.30 wake
11.30 - whenever wake
5.30 a night feed
6pm - put to bed
