I have a great sleeper so I'm not complaining but that sounds so good right now :)</p> <p>8 months:<br /> wakeup: 6am (ouch)<br /> AM nap: 9-10:30 or 11<br /> PM nap: 2-3:30 or 4<br /> Bed: 7:15</p> <p>Sometimes she'll nap for 40 minutes and won't go back down. In that case I work hard to keep her up until the next nap or (if it's the PM nap) until bedtime. Things get all messed up when I don't at least try to stick to the schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-812358 Tue, 28 May 2013 08:41:33 +0000 Bao 812358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO: 9 months<br /> Wake up: 8:30am<br /> Morning nap: 10:00am (depends on wake up) sleeps 1-2 hours<br /> Afternoon nap: 2:00-2:30pm (1-2 hours)<br /> Bedtime: 7pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-812335 Tue, 28 May 2013 08:32:57 +0000 ValentineMommy 812335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I know, I am seriously blessed.

When he was taking a third nap he wasn't sleepy or falling asleep until like 8 but still getting up at 630! So we were in the same boat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-812251 Tue, 28 May 2013 08:05:43 +0000 regberadaisy 812251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wake up at 6am<br /> first nap around 830/900am for about 1-2 hours.<br /> Second nap at 2pm for 2 hours.<br /> Bedtime 7pm</p> <p>At daycare she is down to 1 nap so I think she catches up on the weekends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-812247 Tue, 28 May 2013 08:04:22 +0000 NovBaby1112 812247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awesome, thaks guys! this weekend was crazy out and about doing stuff, but now that we are home I am going to try to see how 2 naps goes. I was worried 6.5 months was too young for 2 naps, but I see some other mama's with LO's the same age on 2 naps so we will see!</p> <p>@scg00387: this is the schedule i was sort of thinking of,...LO has naps around the same time. Did you have to move bedtime earlier for a few days? Right now she's been going to bed later than usual bc of the third nap which is why i want to get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809456 Sat, 25 May 2013 20:47:55 +0000 Weagle 809456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put LO on a 2-3-4 schedule at 6 months. She wasn't napping before then. Her naps tended to be at 9ish and 1ish. Now at 12 months they are 2.5-3 hours after waking (9 or 10) and around 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809454 Sat, 25 May 2013 20:46:04 +0000 Penny Lane 809454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I decided to cut out his 3rd nap for that exact reason. he started not going to bed til after 9:30 every night. he's 9 months old now and his sleep schedule is something like this:</p> <p>5:00/5:30am night wake for nursing<br /> 8:00am wake up, nurse, have baby cereal for breakfast<br /> 10am-12pm first nap. sometimes down nurse for nap, depending on how he's feeling<br /> 12:00pm nurse, eat lunch<br /> 3pm-3:30 or 4pm second nap. nurse before nap<br /> 6:00pm nurse again, eat dinner<br /> 7:00pm bath time, story time, nurse and bottle before bed<br /> 8:00pm bed time</p> <p>I experimented with different schedules, and this 2, 3, 4 schedule has worked well so far. for the first week or so I had to focus on not letting him fall asleep at 6pm, when he used to have his 3rd nap, but once he got past that we were golden. he used to nap only 45 minutes at a time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809338 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:14:37 +0000 littlecasita1122 809338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once LO transitioned from three naps, he basically put himself on a 2-3-4 schedule. He would wake between 6:30-7am, go down for first nap no later than 9am (90 min long), go down for second nap no later than 2pm (90 min long), bedtime by 7:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809325 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:06:56 +0000 matador84 809325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months old</p> <p>wake up at 7 (i wake him up if he isn't already up) and nurse<br /> 830-breakfast<br /> 9-11 nap...although lately it's been more like 10-11<br /> 11 nurse<br /> 12 lunch<br /> 130/2 afternoon nap around an hour<br /> 330 snack<br /> 530 dinner<br /> 630 bath<br /> 7 bed/nurse </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809162 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:12:21 +0000 Kemma 809162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is 7.5 months and we've been on a two nap schedule for about three weeks now which so far is working really nicely!</p> <p>Here's our rough day:</p> <p> 0730 - Wakeup<br /> 0930-1000 - nap<br /> 1130-1200 - awake<br /> 1500 - nap<br /> 1600 - awake<br /> 1900 - start bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809155 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:08:36 +0000 HLK208 809155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is:</p> <p>6:30am: awake<br /> 10:00am: 45 minute nap<br /> 1:30pm: 2 hour nap<br /> 7pm: bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809149 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:04:26 +0000 immabeetoo 809149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've justttt been switching from 3 to 2. Even when he is getting more day sleep with the 3, lately it seems like he is just as cranky once he wakes up and then has trouble falling asleep so fingers crossed, I'm going to try and stick with the 2.</p> <p>His naps have been variable but this is vaguely our day lately:</p> <p>6:30 wake<br /> 7a eat<br /> 8:45/9 nap - 10/11ish<br /> 11a eat<br /> 1/1:30 nap - 2:30/3ish<br /> 3a eat<br /> 6p eat<br /> 6:30 asleep<br /> (1/2a eat) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809105 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:09:25 +0000 luckypenny 809105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 13 months old and this is how our naps have been for some time</p> <p>8 am : wake up<br /> 10 am : nap 30 - 40 mins<br /> 2 pm nap: 2 hours<br /> 8 pm : bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809101 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:07:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 809101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just wondering this same question! </p> <p>My LO is 15 months old. Up until a couple weeks ago, her schedule looked like this:</p> <p>Nap 1: usually around 2 hrs long (6am - 8am). She'll wake up at 6am for about 15 minutes to nurse and then will go right back to sleep</p> <p>Nap 2: usually around 1.5 - 2 hrs long (usually goes down around 11:30am). </p> <p>Nap 3: usually around :30 (around 3:30pm)</p> <p>The two earlier naps are the same, but lately she's been fighting the 3rd short nap and trying to stay up from about 1:30/2pm to her bedtime of 6:30/7pm. It makes for some loooong afternoons. </p> <p>What times are your LO's naps? Maybe you could try to push up the morning nap a bit so that the afternoon nap ends a little later (maybe around 2:30/3pm)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-2-nap-schedules#post-809094 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:00:13 +0000 NovBaby1112 809094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO is transitioning to 2 naps. She's been taking a super long morning nap (2-2.5 hrs) and a long afternoon nap (1.5-2 hrs) so it's been really hard lately to squeeze a third nap in without it being too close to bedtime, but I am also worried about her being overtired as well. How did you make the transition? Share your schedules with me so I can get an idea, thanks!! </p>
