She is 4 and naps are getting shorter but she still likes taking one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439383 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 01:21:00 +0000 birdofafeather 2439383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

I count my lucky stars everyday for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439162 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 17:02:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2439162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We cut her nap before she turned 3 because she would sleep horribly otherwise. Sleep has gotten a lot better since then. But she sometimes naps during the weekend (usually in the car), but it almost always means a delayed bedtime, so we try to avoid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439143 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 16:37:15 +0000 fancyfunction 2439143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No she dropped it in Nov about a month shy of 3. But she did sleep 1.5 hr in the car today due to a restless sleep last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439093 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:41:18 +0000 Jess1483 2439093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And if he does nap, he struggles at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439092 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:41:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2439092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, usually 2-2.5 hrs, at school and home. He usually only sleeps 10-10.5 hrs a night, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439085 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:32:59 +0000 winniebee 2439085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. He gave it up a few months before 3. Hell nap in the car if we are on a long trip, but that's it. He is 3 years 7 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2439074 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:17:13 +0000 Greentea 2439074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid was never a good napper or sleeper, but stopped napping at 2.5 completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438979 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:19:32 +0000 erinpye 2438979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WISH!

She loves her naps. She tells us around 11am that she is getting tired so she should probably eat lunch and then take her nap. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438972 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:16:15 +0000 lamariniere 2438972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3 they no longer do naps at school, so he would (and still does) take them on the weekends or during vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438897 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:23:55 +0000 BandDmommy 2438897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At school only </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438896 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:22:02 +0000 Ginger333 2438896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three year old is (thankfully) napping right now :) All my kids napped until they went to JK - I need it more than they do some days LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438876 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:09:19 +0000 lilyann 2438876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At school (M-F) and on most Saturdays but by Sunday, he won't take one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438835 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 12:48:08 +0000 bushelandapeck 2438835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 next month and he still takes a 1-1.5 hr nap everyday. There have probably only been a handful of times in his life that he has skipped it. He only sleeps 10 hours/night though, so he needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438808 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 12:31:42 +0000 babynumber1 2438808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At school, yes. But then she has trouble going to sleep at night. On the weekends, she does not, and goes right to sleep at 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438805 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 12:28:52 +0000 rattles 2438805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 yr old naps every day from 1-2:30. Sometimes it's just quiet time, but not usually. Bed time is 8, and she reads with her flashlight until 8:30/9. She wakes around 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438802 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 12:27:03 +0000 misolee 2438802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She still naps for two hours at 3.5 yrs old.<br /> She can def sleep it bc I kind of force her too but she'll get cranky if she does skip it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438769 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 12:05:00 +0000 yin 2438769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 stopped napping shortly after he turned 2. Hoping LO2 continues to take naps for a while longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438729 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:43:40 +0000 kodybear 2438729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! On the weekends about 1.5-2 hours. I think she naps less at school though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438728 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:43:21 +0000 cheert16 2438728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are in the same boat right now! If DS doesnt nap he is asleep by 6pm and misses dinner, bath etc. If he does nap he is often still awake in his room when i get home from work around 10pm. Not sure what the solution is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438724 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:40:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 2438724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At school only, and then only sometimes. If everyone is sleeping, LO will too. </p> <p>Hasn't napped at home in ages (a year or more) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438723 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:39:49 +0000 SeptMomma12 2438723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only at school. He'll nap 2 hours at school (and has to be woken up at the end), but refuses to nap at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438712 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:33:48 +0000 KT326 2438712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always naps at school but only sometimes takes a nap on the weekends. He will be 4 in two months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438711 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:33:24 +0000 mrsjazz 2438711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At school only M-F. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438709 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:32:10 +0000 Aandmklover 2438709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have strict nap rules. He can only nap for 1-1.5 hours and has to be awake before 3:30 otherwise he will not fall asleep at night time for hours (he's been up until 11-12). We skip nap if he doesn't fall asleep before 2-2:30 and it makes night time a little harder but he falls asleep so fast at bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438708 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:30:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 2438708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish! she will occasionally crash on the couch if she had a bad night, or doze in the car (what it is about the car?!). but she generally sleeps 6/630 to 5 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438707 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:28:40 +0000 petunia354 2438707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always when at home! Not so much when he is at my moms. On school days I can tell he really needs it and will sometimes fall asleep in the car when I pick him up from my moms, but that's happening less frequently. Our pediatrician just impressed upon us that 3 years olds should still be napping so now DH is fanatical about it :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-3-yo-take-naps#post-2438701 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:23:55 +0000 knittylady 2438701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interested - DS1 is 2.5 and we're not sure if he's ready to drop his nap. Anytime he does take it it's a nightmare to put him to bed for the night... </p>
