I feel so bad about her having to go to one nap so if I could keep our normal routine on the weekends that would be great. I'm glad to hear it worked for you! I'll report back in a few weeks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829808 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:49:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1829808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Haha, oh no.

But, L has always been a really great sleeper. She loooves her bed, and will request to go to sleep. So, I don't know that it's possible for all kids :bummed: You could certainly try and hope for the best. I also find that she goes to bed later on Friday and Saturday nights, but wakes up at the same time, so she's more tired during the weekends and has less stimulation from other kids keeping her awake for longer stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829751 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:34:42 +0000 Rubies 1829751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months.</p> <p>6:00am wake up<br /> 9:00am nap (approx. 1.5 hours)<br /> 1:30 nap (approx. 1 hour)<br /> 6pm bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829676 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:12:08 +0000 travelgirl1 1829676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noon.

What I did was to think of the drowsy but awake as a scale of 1-10 with 10 being completely asleep, and 1 being wide awake. So I'd rock her to a 9 and try to put her in her crib. And then if that didn't work, I'd scrap it until the next nap and try again. I kept doing that for a while until I could rock her to drowsy and put her down and pat her butt (she had learned to roll over by this point). Eventually, I had to let her cry for like 15 min to see if she could get herself to sleep. I inadvertantly let her cio because I needed a break because I was getting so frustrated and she fell asleep on her own after 15-17 min. That was a turning point for us and she got much easier to put down for naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829553 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 18:39:01 +0000 Dandelion 1829553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: it went fine for about 2 days and it went out the window. We had events come up and D started back at school, so now his afternoon nap is happening while waiting to pick D up in the car.</p> <p>I was so structured about naps with D. But, I think me and M will have to go with the flow for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829502 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 18:17:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 1829502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is almost 2, but has been on this schedule since we switched to one nap in the late Fall (last year). </p> <p>she generally sleeps 6/630-630/7, naps 1030-1230 or 1, sometimes longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-nap-time#post-1829491 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 18:13:54 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1829491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 (basically 3) - wake 630-7, nap/play in bed - 1230, sleep - 8<br /> DS2 (basically 1) - wake 6-630, nap1 830-9, nap2 1230, occasional bonus nap 330, sleep 7</p> <p>I had to get the afternoon naps to line up since I was going crazy, they used to tag team me all day!
