He sleeps earlier on no nap days and is asleep by 730 and sleeps 12 hours. If he naps it's usually an hour and doesn't fall asleep right away at night and sleeps 11 hours.</p> <p>Ds2 is 3 months and naps 3-4x a day.

Yes, it sucks but I figure it's a temporary battle so not stressing it. </p> <p>The 19 month old naps 1.5 hours, once a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322595 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 19:45:05 +0000 dolphin 2322595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's turning 3 in December and takes one 2 hour nap on weekdays and sometimes 45 minutes on weekends when we're on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322569 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 19:27:17 +0000 misolee 2322569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 3 and naps once a day for 1.5-2 hr. Sometime she skips it or takes the 20 minute cat naps and we don't stress it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322545 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 19:10:28 +0000 KT326 2322545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 years old. He naps for about 2 hours at daycare and we usually skip naps on the weekends. I'm getting ready to tell daycare they need to cut his nap down because it's affecting his nighttime sleep during the week! It's been really hard to get him to sleep before 9pm whereas on the weekends when he doesn't nap he is asleep at 8pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322541 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 19:09:07 +0000 Mae 2322541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseDMB: I"m hoping it is just a phase! I don't think I could possibly give her more time. Right now we wake her up at 8am every day (because otherwise she definitely won't nap) and I put her down at 1:30 (so 5.5 hrs). I used to have to wake her at 3:30 or she wouldn't sleep at bedtime (8pm) but she started waking at 3pm about a month ago. At the same time, she's been fighting bedtime a bit too. So right now on a BEST case scenario day she's up at 8, down at 1:30 for nap (falls asleep in maybe 5-10 min on a good day) then up at 3, down for bed at 8 (and again takes maybe 10-20 min to fall asleep). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322474 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:39:09 +0000 yin 2322474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4.5 years old and does not nap (stopped at 2). LO2 will be 2 in a few weeks, and he takes one nap after lunch. It usually lasts 90 minutes because we have to go pick up big brother from school. He can nap up to 2.5 hours if time allowed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322197 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:50:28 +0000 buttermilk 2322197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 months and takes abou 4 naps per day around 4 hrs total </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322185 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:47:39 +0000 LilSprinkles 2322185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and naps for at least 2 hours a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322177 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:44:13 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2322177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 13 months and takes 2 naps a day.

It totally varies, and I have no idea why/how, but- from 1 hour to 2.5 hours. I guess a typical nap would be 1 hour 40 minutes or so. I'm happy with anything 1.5 hours or more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2322004 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:45:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 2322004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turning 2 in a week and she naps 2-3 hours every day. Knock on so much wood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321913 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:13:09 +0000 NurseDMB 2321913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I thought DS was doing the same thing a few months ago, but luckily he went back to napping. I think it was some kind of developmental thing or growth spurt - I just kept putting him down no matter what. I also had to look at our achedule and change things, because I realized he wasnt tired enough when I was putting him down. He normally needs to be up for 6-6.5 hours now in the morning before he falls asleep. If I put him down too early, it takes him forever to fall asleep (and sometimes he won't) and same if I put him down too late. Then he's just overtired and won't nap at all :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321894 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:08:30 +0000 NurseDMB 2321894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and takes one nap a day - it used to be close to 3 hours almost every time, now its more like 1.5-2 hours. Occasionally he will nap longer than that, but it doesn't happen as often anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321809 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:33:30 +0000 fancyfunction 2321809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost three and takes one 1.5-2 hr nap. She's finally napping today after a week of nap strikes! I'd say she was ready to drop but without it she's cranky and falling asleep at 4:30!! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321791 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:24:55 +0000 lilteacherbee 2321791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 will be 2 next month and he takes about a 1.5-maybeee 2 hour nap.</p> <p>LO2 is 2.5 months and he takes 5ish naps, ranging from catnaps to 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321787 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:23:46 +0000 travellingbee 2321787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just changed again. He is 31 months and he takes 1, 1 hour nap. He is a grumpy gus when he doesn't nap, but he is actually pushing his bed time later and later and I'd like to drop the nap except he goes to daycare so that makes it harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321786 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:23:02 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2321786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is 18 months (wag actually almost 19!) and naps at 1230 or 1 for 1.5-2 hours typically.

She's been sitting in her crib for 50 min so far :( She doesn't really cry just sort of wanders around her crib and whines a little. So I try to let her go a while to hope she will fall asleep. But I think I'm about to go give up. I really really really hope that this is just some sort of (early) 18 month regression thing? And not the true end of naps. Because nooooooooooo. This SAHM needs a break yo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-they-take-naps-how-long-is-the-nap#post-2321772 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:19:36 +0000 mediagirl 2321772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: noooo!!

About 9-10:30/11 and 1-2:30/3. So he naps a total of 3-4 hours a day.<br /> I think he might be on the road to consolidating the two, but I hear it takes a while to get there! I'm excited for it (more freedom to go places!) but dreading it (less time to myself, longer days with him) at the same time. </p>
