She sleeps better at home than she does at daycare.<br /> At daycare: up for 4.5 hours, nap for 1.5 hours, bed 6 hours later.<br /> At home: up for 3.5 hours, nap for 3 hours, bed 6 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005797 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 03:56:31 +0000 Sweet T 1005797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 23 months old. He wakes up around 8:00 or 8:30 each morning and goes down for his nap between 1:00 and 1:30. I try to aim for 1:00. He's awake for about 5 hours before his nap. I wake him at 3:30 if he doesn't wake up on his own by that point. He normally goes to bed around 8:00 each night but it's been closer to 8:30 lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005784 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 03:07:20 +0000 Kemma 1005784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is almost ten months and is in the process of transitioning down to one nap. At the moment she's up at 7am and I'm trying to put her down for a two hour nap between 1130 and 1200 which with a 1900ish bedtime gives her five or so hours of awake time before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005779 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 02:54:36 +0000 yin 1005779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO wakes up around 7 and naps between 1-2. He will take a 2 hour nap and goes down to bed anywhere from 9-10 unfortunately. </p> <p>6-7 hours awake before nap and 6 hours awake before bedtime. LO is 27 months old, and I'm starting to get rid of nap time in hopes of his night sleep improving. So far no luck on that front though. My kid doesn't like sleep. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005748 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:29:45 +0000 heffalump 1005748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wakes up anywhere between 8 and 9.

After Noelle turned 2, she was a lot more flexible with her schedule. So we put her down at 12:30 pm on some days (and wake up around 3 pm), and other days (like today) she napped from 2-4:30 pm.</p> <p>Her bedtime is always around 8-8:30 pm now. Even though she slept at 4:30 pm today (and could've kept sleeping if we didn't wake her), she still went down by 8:30 pm. She woke up at 6:30 am this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005727 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 00:34:44 +0000 sandy 1005727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: how old is your LO? I think we're headed in this direction. 6-6.5 hours of awake time for my almost 21 months seems to be too short (even though I need a break by then!)...so she doesn't nap sometimes...I think I may have to keep her up so she's tired for naptime bc she just plays in her crib some days...she used to nap so well...it's been nap chaos for the past week.</p> <p>Currently at almost 21 months she wakes up around 8:00 and I try to put her down around 2:00/2:30 (so about 6 hours of awake time)...and I don't let her sleep past 5:00 so she'll have at least 3 hours before bedtime at 8:00. This used to work great, but lately she's not tired for naptime. I may have to start waking her in the morning... Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005716 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 00:05:29 +0000 pinkcupcake 1005716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 18 month old wakes up around 7am, naps around 11:30am, and wakes up around 1:30 to 2pm.

I was goint to finish the sentence with, "are evil." She has 6.5 hours before nap, and then 6 hours before bed. 16 months. We are just struggling with no time to deal with family stuff after kids are in bed. Which is why I am awake right now. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1005707 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:46:30 +0000 Freckles 1005707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 hours before nap, and 5 hours before bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1003876 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:34:18 +0000 mamimami 1003876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LATE nap here.. up at 630 or 7, nap at 3ish, 90 minutes only, and bed at 8 or 9ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-who-have-one-nap#post-1003868 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:30:39 +0000 Weagle 1003868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically, she is awake 5-6 hours before nap and 4-5 before bedtime.
