Our LO is six months old, and we're considering dropping her third nap. From what I'm reading, that's a little on the young side. It seems like it's hard for her to get to sleep for her third nap, it's only 45 minutes to an hour, and it's completely disrupted when we meet with friends or visit grandparents (she doesn't sleep well at other people's houses).

The books I'm reading recommend lengthening her earlier two naps to two hours each to make up for it. I'm a little nervous to eliminate her evening hour so early, though! Does anyone else have experience with it? Our schedule would look like this if we get rid of it:

8 AM Wake and Feed
10:00 Nap
12:00 Feed
2:00 Nap
4:00 Feed
8:00 Feed
8:30 Bed

I won't lie, entertaining her for 4.5 hours terrifies me, too.
