I am thinking our LO might be headed to a one nap schedule day. What time and how long is your nap? When is bedtime and wake up time? How did you make the transition from two to one?
-
6am (or earlier) wake-up.
9am-10am is our struggle time. We have to be doing something or she will get super tired and cranky. If we pull through...
11:30 or 12 nap
2:30-3pm wake-up
6:30pm bedtimeDaycare helped us but it was REALLY hard on the weekends. We struggled for a while to get her off the morning nap. We found we cannot put her in the stroller or the car anytime from 8:30-10 or she will fall asleep and take a morning stroller nap. The only thing we can do is early strolls/rides and then keep her active to get rid of that early nap.

This is her schedule on daycare days:
Wake up 6/630 am
Breakfast around 645
Daycare snack at 930
Lunch around 1130
nap immediately after for about 2 hours
snack upon wake up
daddy picks up around 400, snack in car
Home by 5 another small snack
Dinner at 6
Bath time at 7
Bedtime around 730The transition kinda happened at daycare. At home she still goes back and forth between 1 and 2 naps.
-
8:15-9:15am-wake up
1:00-2pm nap (depending on wake up), nap lasts 1.5-2.5 hours
7:30 bedtime -
Wake up 6:30-7:30am
Nap 12:30-1pm until 2:30-3:00pm
Bed 8pm -
Monday-Friday (when she's at daycare):
Wake up: 6:45am
Nap: 12:45-2:45pm
Bedtime: 6:30pmWeekends (when we're at home)
Wake up: 6:45am
Nap: 11am-1pm
Bedtime: 6:15pm (ish)When DD was 18 months, she moved into the toddler room at daycare and there they have a set one-nap schedule. Prior to the toddler room (when she was in the infant room) they napped her whenever she seemed tired, which resulted in two not-so-good naps.
-
7:15am wake up
8:00am breakfast
11:15am Lunch
12:30pm nap (anywhere between 1.5-3 hours)
3:30pm wake from nap

7:15pm bedtime -
7 a.m. wake-up
1 p.m. nap (anywhere from 1-3 hours)
8/8:30 p.m. bedtime -
bump! LO is forcing my hand so I'm going to try one nap (on purpose instead of by accident when he refuses the second one) tomorrow.
ETA I'm interested in nursing/meals and how they work around nap!

here's a post i wrote on it:
http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/24/how-to-transition-from-2-naps-to-1/
olive sleeps from 7:45pmish - 7:30am and naps from 1:00 - 3:30.
-
6:30-7am wakeup
12-12:30 nap (1.5-2 hrs)
7pm sleep (bedtime routine starts at 6:30)It took a couple of tries to successfully transition to one nap but we decided to rip the bandaid off and consistently schedule for 1 nap. I tried to keep her busy in the mornings by going to music class or the playground (vs boring stuff for her like errands or playing at home) and after about a week we had a once a day napper!

As soon as DD moved up to the 1-2 year old daycare room where they only have 1 nap, she started refusing to do 2 naps at home. We went directly to a schedule where naptime happened after lunch -- anytime between noon and 1 PM. She usually naps 60-90 minutes on her nap at daycare. On the weekends she'll do 90 mins up to 3 hours. (She's pretty wiped out by the time the weekend comes around). Bedtime didn't change at all -- it's 7:30 PM after a 7 PM bath, and she usually wakes up between 7 and 8 AM.

@Mrs. Bee: thanks! moving nap back incrementally sounds like a good plan to me -- it's scary to think of TRYING to keep him awake. That is new! I didn't see mention of how/if you changed solids meals and nursing along then??
-
@scg00387: when she was on 2 naps she would eat lunch before her second nap, and it remained the same when she was on 1 nap. i didn't nurse her for naps, so that didn't change either. the food/nursing didn't really change too much actually!
