Mostly though because if she naps anytime after 5pm she thinks it's bedtime and then her night sleep gets messed up so she has a narrow window for third nap success. Definitely not 2 naps by rule though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2047095 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:02:05 +0000 swurlygurl 2047095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K is 50% there at 5 months. If she has a really early morning she needs 3, but otherwise just 2.<br /> She's a great napper though, and will give me one 3-hour nap, and one 2-hour nap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2047076 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:55:43 +0000 teawithpaloma 2047076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2047060 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:48:35 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2047060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is 8 months (6 corrected) and just starting to go down to 2 naps, tho I try really hard to get her a small catnap in. She's just recently been fighting going down to sleep for the night and I'm wondering if we should begin letting her cry it out :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2047036 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:32:39 +0000 lilyann 2047036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO2 dropped to two naps around 6-7 months. He sleeps 6:30-6:30, so two naps have worked out best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2047003 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:10:26 +0000 Canoli 2047003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 9 months and sometimes does 2 sometimes 3 but he's never been a great napper. He thinks naps are for the birds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046979 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:57:02 +0000 Smurfette 2046979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Consistently at 9 months. Before that she would take cat naps on the way or home from day care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046944 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:33:08 +0000 blackbird 2046944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: yeah that third nap was a mess and we ended up sleep training so she was STTN with two naps versus not going down well after a third and getting all messed up. She had days she wanted that third nap but the nighttime sleep made it ok! She did start going down super early, like 645 or even 630 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046886 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:05:57 +0000 Anagram 2046886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not till around 11-12 months I think? She would have two crap naps at daycare and then another short nap at home from 4-5 pm, then bedtime at 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046882 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:00:15 +0000 Bubbles 2046882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just before 6 months. I much preferred the 2 nap days - I could barely fit in anything around 3 naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046832 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 07:20:12 +0000 illumina 2046832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From 5 months she was going back and forth between 2 and 3 naps, depending on how long she napped for. It was hard to plan things, so at 6 months we put her on a 2 nap, 3-3-3 (roughly) schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046690 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 00:01:53 +0000 daniellemybelle 2046690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months. It was on the early side and we had to deal with a cranky baby and early bedtimes until she was about 7-8 months. But her naps were super long at that age (two 2.5 hour naps) so squeezing a third nap in meant fighting bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046686 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:58:19 +0000 coopsmama 2046686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: That's exactly where we are now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046685 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:57:20 +0000 QBbride 2046685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6 months. It became a fight to get that 3rd catnap in and I was tired of fighting it, I preferred a tired/cranky baby in the evening instead!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046684 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:56:19 +0000 coopsmama 2046684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @ScarletBegonia: @Mrs. High Heels: okay, that's how old M is and I was struggling to remember when C dropped to two even though it was only a year ago. She only took 2 today -- I need to work on getting her back on a good routine now that it appears she'd do best with just 2! The last couple days have been very scattered and hard for her but I think it's because I haven't been letting her make that transition and have been trying to have her go down when she's not quite tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046658 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:37:00 +0000 meesker 2046658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 8 months and still at 3. She will only sleep 13-13.5 hrs a day max and tops out on awake time at 3-4 hours with her morning wake time topping out at 2 hrs still. I don't think she'll drop to 2 until she can manage 2.5-3 in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046576 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:52:04 +0000 Mae 2046576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at 8.5 mo and still on 3! For a few days there I thought she might be starting to get ready to drop to two but then the last two days she has very clearly needed 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046575 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:51:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2046575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>between 6-7 months... he naturally fell into the 2-3-4 routine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046568 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:45:47 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2046568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 6 and 7 months - we went back and forth a bit - it all depended on when he woke up in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046561 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:43:33 +0000 blackbird 2046561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-drop-to-two-naps#post-2046514 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:23:37 +0000 coopsmama 2046514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just as the title says. :) </p>
