His times vary by up to half an hour every day. Here's his usual schedule:</p> <p>6:30-7:30 Wake up<br /> 9:00/9:30 - 10:30/11:00 - First nap<br /> 12:30/1:00 - 3:30/4:00 - Second nap<br /> 6:30 - Asleep!</p> <p>He gets 4-ish hours in naps a day and 11-ish hours in nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-253106 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:21:44 +0000 irene 253106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby (6 months) is getting to this 2-3-4 schedule too.... but I am so confused - how does the feeding fit into all this? We used to feed him before he wakes from his naps, but now with the solids and all I am totally confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248826 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:43:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 248826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: it was really hard for a couple of weeks after we switched to one nap because we were used to that morning and afternoon break. but then the morning opens up and there's so much you can do. that's when it started getting so much fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248806 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:57:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 248806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I am honestly looking forward to one nap. We've done if a handful of times when he's fought his morning naps and he has taken nice long ones. But I don't think he's ready for it full-time yet since he still goes down so easily in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248805 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:56:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 248805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: that was the age Cobi dropped his "pre-bedtime nap". He would nap 30-60 minutes just to get him to bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248804 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:55:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 248804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 5 mos old.</p> <p>8:30am awake (usually 1.5-2 hrs awake)<br /> 10:30-1 nap 1<br /> 3-5 nap 2<br /> 7pm bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248796 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:44:21 +0000 cvbee 248796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oooh I like this thread! My 3.5 month old LO might be switching to a 2-nap schedule (has done it twice this week, plus a 15 minute non-counting nap). The 2-3-4 schedule makes sense to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248649 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:01:11 +0000 pastemoo 248649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hates sleeping. No one believes me, but we gave him to a friend last night so we could see a movie. In the 5 hours he was there, he ate a lot, smiled a lot, and slept for 15 minutes. </p> <p>He is 2 months, so there's not a whole lot of "real" schedule, but it's kind of like this, with 3 or 4 naps:</p> <p>12-5am sleep<br /> 5:30 nap (30 min awake, sleep for 45minor so)<br /> Occassionally I can work in a 7-9am nap (I really hope this becomes regular)<br /> 11am nap for 15-30 minutes<br /> 3 or 4 or 5, he'll take another 15-30 minute nap or two<br /> then he's up all evening and sometimes will sleep from 8-10, and sometimes he'll be awake that whole time.</p> <p>So... if he is asleep, I am asleep... and I am learning what I can safely have him "do" so he can be happily awake while I sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248629 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 12:35:57 +0000 SAHM0811 248629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 is 13 months like Mrs YoYo's baby and we have a similar schedule, but I don't call it a schedule since she's #2 and honestly just goes with the flow everyday since there's so much going on with her big sis home with us this summer :/</p> <p>Awake around 8a, morning nap around 11a, afternoon nap around 3p or 4p, bedtime around 8p. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248600 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 11:45:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 248600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: we woke him up early from both naps so he would be tired enough for a 7:30 bedtime. He kept being able to stay awake longer and longer between naps so we pushed him to one. If we let him nap too much in the day, he would sleep less at night.</p> <p>Having a sleepy baby is a good thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248568 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 11:20:38 +0000 sandy 248568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: she is such a sleepy child...I mainly go off of her sleepy cues (she gets super fussy and when I carry her up to her room she rubs her eyes)...I've tried to push her awake time and she ends up crying if she is too tired. </p> <p>I'm not sure when the time will come that I will have to wake her early from her naps so she will be tired for bedtime...I think when she starts staying up longer before her bedtime I will start waking her from her 2nd nap early...</p> <p>Did you start waking Charlie up early from his first nap or just go to 1 nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248507 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 10:09:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 248507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: wow your lo has very short awake intervals!<br /> @Mrs. Yoyo: At that age we had to wake Charlie up from every nap. Once we pushed him to 1 nap at 15 1/2 months, he got more sleep overall since he took a 3 hour nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248506 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 10:06:52 +0000 erwoo 248506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't set a schedule yet for Skyler but when I do it will be similar to Nicholas' nap schedule. 7:30-8am wake, 10am nap, 2-2:30pm nap, 8-9pm bed time. I'm hoping he'll be a great napper like his big brother which is 2-4 hour naps in the afternoon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248504 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 10:05:56 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 248504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 13 mos ...</p> <p>Wake up around 7. Nap around 10. Limit to 45 mins - 1 hour. Next nap is usually around 2:30 - 4. Bedtime around 7:45.</p> <p>I miss the days when he could do two 90-min naps, but he needs to be up longer now to be tired enough. At Olive's age, he was still doing the two 90-min naps, though, and staying up closer to 3 hours between and maybe a bit more before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248498 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 10:00:18 +0000 sandy 248498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 8.5 months and is taking 2 naps</p> <p>7:45am - wake up (wake her by 8:30 if she sleeps in) (usually 1h20m awake)<br /> 9:00am - 1st nap (2hr-2.5hrs)<br /> 11:15am - awake (2hr awake)<br /> 1:15pm - 2nd nap (2h-2.5hrs)<br /> 3:15pm - awake (wake her up by 3:45 if she sleeps in) (2h-2.5hr awake)<br /> 5:30pm - bath and bedtime (this takes a while so she's "in bed" by 6:00pm at the latest) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248493 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 09:55:27 +0000 brownie 248493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been on a 2-3-4 schedule forever. He is now 15 months old but I think we have been on this since about 9 months.</p> <p>7 am- wake<br /> 9 am - nap 1<br /> 10 am - wake<br /> 2 pm - nap (we are at 2 now but we have jumped from 1 to 2)<br /> 4 pm - wake<br /> 8 pm - bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-on-two-naps-whats-your-schedule#post-248476 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 09:46:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 248476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive has been waking up earlier than usual the past couple of days. Here is what her schedule has been like!</p> <p>7:45 wake up<br /> 10:15 nap 1 ( 2 1/2 hrs awake, 1 1/2 hour nap)<br /> 2:45 nap 2 (3 hrs awake, wake her up at 4:00)<br /> 6:30 bedtime (2 1/2 hrs awake)</p> <p>We usually wake her up from her second nap every day so that bedtime is the same every night. She's almost 10 months old.</p> <p>How old is your lo and what is their nap schedule? </p>
