We used to get close to 2 hours, sometimes more, now we are happy with 1 hour and thrilled with 1.5 hours (she is 26 mos).</p> <p>We are lucky though because from when I put her down - it usually takes her 15-20 mins to laid down and sleep. Plus - when she wakes up she likes to do it on her own so another 15-20 mins...its gets me another 30-40 mins on top of the nap time.</p> <p>As @Mrs. Champagne: said - on weekends we try to really get her active in the morning to encourage a long nap. Plus a nice full tummy from lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-month-old-short-naps#post-2335932 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:19:36 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2335932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You aren't going to like my answer.. DD move to one nap at 12 months and then at 18 months started napping only about 50% of the days or less. She's pretty much dropped her nap now at 2. I still make her stay in her crib for an hour with a few books. </p> <p>No advice - just mostly following in case there are any tips. She sleeps well at night and I think just loves playing too much to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-month-old-short-naps#post-2335928 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:16:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2335928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has short naps if he isn't tired enough. I try to run him off his feet in the morning (outside always tired him out!) to get a good nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-month-old-short-naps#post-2335925 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:14:53 +0000 BabyTsMom 2335925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What gives? Lately LO's naps have progressively gotten shorter and shorter. Recently they're 1-1.5 hours long (closer to 1 hour this week), whereas they used to be 1.5-2.5 hours long. He's 17 months old now, and has been on one nap since 13 months.<br /> Has anyone experienced phases of short naps, and your LOs just started sleeping longer? Ugh one hour is just not enough....for me or him!!<br /> He's healthy, not teething, sleeping fine at night, etc etc. He currently wakes up around 6:40am, down 12:15pm. Should I put him down later?? </p>
