He can go down as early as 11:30, but I try to aim for after lunch, around 1:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607578 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 23:49:51 +0000 ALV91711 2607578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they have definitely gotten later. Used to be 11:30 at the latest, now it is around 1 or later. </p> <p>He is 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607532 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:24:28 +0000 caterw 2607532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2.5 and she likes to nap at 3ish for about 1.5-2 hours. I definitely miss those super long naps right after lunch!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607496 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:37:27 +0000 sandy 2607496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. As she got older her nap moved later until it got to a point where she never fell asleep and we just moved up bedtime. I didn't want naps going past 3:30 bc then she wouldn't be tired for bedtime. I think the latest nap time we did was 1:30/2:00 and I'd wake her up by 3:00/3:30. Later we'd just do quiet/rest time from 2:30-3:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607454 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:11:39 +0000 brownepiano 2607454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep when we switched to one nap it was 12. Lunch had to be at 11 to fit it in. Then it slowly pushed back to 12:30 and stayed there for a while. Now it's 1 and I can wait even longer if I have to. But I don't like letting him sleep past 3:30 so I try to get him down by 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607422 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 16:00:58 +0000 KayKay 2607422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have always gone "down" for a nap somewhere 1-130ish, but as DD1 got older (3+), she would play quietly in her room for longer and longer before falling asleep. Eventually we just had her drop the nap because she wouldn't fall asleep until 330 or later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607417 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 15:50:36 +0000 autumnlove 2607417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah 130 or 2 for my 3 yr old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/later-nap-time-as-lo-gets-older#post-2607277 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 13:06:22 +0000 Bao 2607277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As your LO got older did they start going down for naps later in the day? My youngest usually goes down around 12:45 and has been fighting it lately. I put her down at 1:30 today and she didn't put up a fight. I'm curious if she just needs a later nap time? </p>
