She has never been a very sleepy baby though. Any missed sleep she tends to make up overnight, so nap length isn't crucial. As long as she's fed and busy she's happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-764910 Tue, 07 May 2013 08:31:40 +0000 winniebee 764910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say around 8 months. </p> <p>At 11.5 months it's now like 3, 3.5, 4 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-764903 Tue, 07 May 2013 08:29:25 +0000 NovBaby1112 764903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: thanks! did your LO ever need a short cat nap before bed if she woke up early from her last nap or was she okay going the full 4 hours til bed?</p> <p>@littlecasita1122: she is almost 6 months now, and she seems to be getting on a 2 nap schedule...sometimes 3 when she really needs it before bed. yea, ive heard the awake time in the morning is the least, LO usually cant handle more than 2.5 hrs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763230 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:51:06 +0000 littlecasita1122 763230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO fell into this pattern on his own around 6 or 7 months. It worked really well for us so I had some idea of what to expect each day. 4 hours seemed like a long time before bed, but it really wasn't. I think most babies are more tired in the mornings anyway? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763219 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:47:58 +0000 looch 763219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did this, more or less from the time we stopped the third nap. I wish I had my notes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763185 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:37:04 +0000 swurlygurl 763185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 4 months - I try it on the weekends, but right now it's kind of 1.5/2/2/3... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763148 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:29:25 +0000 Weagle 763148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: Up at 7ish, naps at 9 and 1, and bed at 7. She started switching up her schedule around the same time as daylight savings, which made it easy to push back bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763137 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:26:15 +0000 NovBaby1112 763137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: awesome! what was your approx schedule, if you don't mind sharing...</p> <p>@googly-eyes: yea, we are at like a 2.5/3/3 right now but it looks like she can handle longer awake times</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee &amp; @Mrs. Jacks: i know, 4 hours seems like so long...but LO has always been a very active not sleepy baby lol, so I am wondering if it might work for her</p> <p>LO is almost 6 months and has always been able to handle longer awake times, so I am sort of wondering when to expect this pattern. She takes 2-3 naps a day, depending on how long they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763119 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:20:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 763119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: us either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763109 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:17:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 763109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: it works for a lot of people! but just didn't work for us. olive has always been a sleepier than average child though. She sleeps around 15-16 hours a day at 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763088 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:11:50 +0000 googly-eyes 763088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I thought the wake time of 4 hrs would be too long but when she was almost 7 months it started happening by accident and it stuck. We don't battle so much for naps anymore which is nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763049 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:04:10 +0000 Weagle 763049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: We're also now on more of a 3-4-4 or 3-3-4 schedule. It's nice to have a bit more flexibility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763047 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:03:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 763047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we were never able to do a 2-3-4 schedule with charlie and olive because 4 hours was too long for them to stay up when they were on 2 naps. it was more like 2-3-3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763031 Mon, 06 May 2013 09:59:45 +0000 googly-eyes 763031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of it! We do more of a 3-4-4 or 3-4-3 now. More like 3-3-3 on a good nap day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-763019 Mon, 06 May 2013 09:56:59 +0000 Weagle 763019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this starting around 7 months. It was great! She didn't fall into this pattern though. I had to set the schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-3-4-schedule#post-762950 Mon, 06 May 2013 09:32:50 +0000 NovBaby1112 762950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone heard of this? Basically it means that the first nap starts about 2 hours after waking up. The second nap starts about 3 hours after the baby wakes from the first. And bedtime starts about 4 hours after the baby wakes from the second nap. </p> <p>When did you notice your LO fell into this pattern? </p>
