What REALLY helped was him finally being able to do a later bedtime--8/8:30 instead of 7. He finally started consistently sleeping in til around 6:30 at that point, and his naps lengthened too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1840203 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 10:32:01 +0000 bisous 1840203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Great to hear everyone's experiences, although it seems pretty varied! I am praying it will work--and not take too long.</p> <p>@photojane: Talk about a pro! 14 hours of nighttime sleep is amazing. I would be happy if my DD slept<br /> 14 hours total each day! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1840091 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:49:39 +0000 looch 1840091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it didn't, but my son was not a good sleeper overnight to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1840001 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:15:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1840001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it took months though. at 15 months charlie was waking up at 5-5:30. but eventually it kept shifting later and later, and now he's a pretty late riser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839996 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:14:57 +0000 Adira 1839996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One nap vs two naps doesn't seem to have any affect on Xander's nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839971 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:00:52 +0000 Trailmix 1839971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. DS still wakes up between 5-5:30, even after going to one nap. Very, very annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839957 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 07:55:23 +0000 charlotte 1839957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a two or three week period after transitioning to one nap where he seemed overtired and woke up earlier (like 530 instead of 630). But after that he started sleeping until 7 ! :)</p> <p>Edited to add this was at 17m. He had stopped taking the second one so we went to one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839903 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 07:10:31 +0000 NovBaby1112 1839903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for us yes, when she went to 1 nap around a year she STTN and also started sleeping in longer (after 1 month or so of a rough transition) once she got used to 1 nap and wasn't overtired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839902 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 07:09:04 +0000 illumina 1839902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She went down to 1 nap at 10.5 months and for the most part she sleeps longer overnight...maybe 12-13hrs, rather than the 11.5 she used to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839724 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 22:42:33 +0000 Ginabean3 1839724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just went down to one nap and she wakes up 1-2 hours later in the morning! Same bedtime still! It's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839694 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 22:12:43 +0000 photojane 1839694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has been on one nap since maybe 11 months, and she sleeps like a pro at night. 7:30/8p-9:30/10a. One nap in the middle of the day. When she was taking two naps she was sleeping 8:30p-6:30/7a. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839688 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 22:06:40 +0000 QBbride 1839688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. My 14.5m old son has been difficult to get down at night and is waking often, after usually sttn. We are going to do 1 nap at daycare and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839666 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 21:40:32 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1839666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us she became overtired from longer stretches and ended up waking even earlier... 4 AM! We're back to two naps at 20 months :/ I think it works for most people though, I say try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839651 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 21:33:57 +0000 loveisstrange 1839651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely did. She still slept the same total number of hours, but she extended her nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-transition-to-one-nap-help-nighttime-sleep#post-1839630 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 21:19:08 +0000 bisous 1839630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 15 month LO has been driving us crazy with 5:15 am wakeups. She goes to bed at 7:30..we have tried moving it up and back to see whether that had any effect on wakeup time, but with no success.</p> <p>I have been holding out for her daycare transition to one nap, which is happening next week. My hope is that after she transitions, she will stretch out her nighttime sleep a little longer ... an hour would be glorious!</p> <p>Anyone have success with this? Or remember what happened to nighttime sleep after transition to one nap? </p>
