I don't think I'm ready for the transition to 1 nap, and he does seem better rested when he has 2..I guess we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619962 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:59:45 +0000 BabyBruins 1619962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He stopped taking his first nap. He would lay in his crib and talk to himself, but he wouldn't sleep.<br /> We did 2 naps until about 19 months, so I was grateful we got that long out of him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619942 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:49:50 +0000 Sammyfab 1619942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I would try either capping the morning nap at 1.5 hours or extending the time between naps 30 minutes. A 30-45 minute afternoon nap isn't a bad thing! Sleep begets sleep is for newborns and at this age, they do max out on sleep. </p> <p>For my son, if night sleep wa affected by his daytime sleep then we enforced a new schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619935 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:41:57 +0000 hilsy85 1619935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He refused his 2nd nap completely for like 4 days in a row, so we just went with it. It' was tough bc he still got tired around 3 hours after wakeup, but eventually we moved him to a nap in the middle of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619835 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:10:32 +0000 Ra 1619835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: His morning nap has been about 2 hours lately. He takes it 3 hours after he wakes up and his second nap about 3 hours after he wakes from the first. He can go longer in between without issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619826 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:08:34 +0000 Sammyfab 1619826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We knew he was ready to go to one nap when he had ~4+ hours wake time between his morning and afternoon nap and he was sleeping less at night (going to bed later and waking earlier). His afternoon nap was always short (45-60 minutes).</p> <p>How long is your LO's morning nap? How much wake time does he have between naps? We transitioned at a year which is considered on the early side. I would try to hold onto 2 naps as best you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619816 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:03:53 +0000 autumnlove 1619816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was just the schedule in the young toddler room at daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619813 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:03:24 +0000 MamaJ 1619813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He stopped going down for his second nap completely. In order for him to move to one nap I would keep him occupied and get out of the house in the morning to push it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-lo-was-ready-to-transition-to-one-nap#post-1619797 Wed, 07 May 2014 15:58:50 +0000 Ra 1619797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B has been fighting his 2nd nap lately. It takes me almost a half hour to get him to sleep and he usually only sleeps from 30-45 minutes.</p> <p>He's only 10.5 months so it seems early to move to one nap. How did you know your LO was ready for the transition? </p>
