Naps

My baby mostly still does 3 naps (8.5 months) but can manage much longer wake windows… problem I have is his 2nd nap which will soon be his last, doesn’t last much longer than 45 mins however we are 90% of the time always out and about .. just wondering if anyone else in same boat and how you’re transitioning down to 2 naps ?

Yep this is us too. Even if we are at home the nap might be a bit longer but it’s still not long enough to last till bedtime. I’m just going with it and doing a 3rd short Power Nap to get us to bedtime. It’s so hard when you can’t be at home for the lunchtime nap all the time xx

My daughter is 9 months today and she’s having 3/4 naps. We’ve tried dropping the 4th nap and a couple of weeks ago she dropped the 2nd but oh my word was she grumpy🥴 x

We mostly do 2 naps now, however, depending on when he wakes in the morning and how long his naps are during the day, we sometimes end up doing a third nap about 2hrs before bedtime.. which I cap to 20mins otherwise it takes him too long to go to sleep at bedtime and messes up his routine x

we've just transitioned to 2... I've found that I need to cap the first nap at 45 mins for him to sleep long enough for his second nap to get him to bedtime I've also been doing an early bedtime, and am slowly stretching that last wake window until he can manage through to 7 again we've had a few days of 3 naps here and there too, the last nap typically being a little late so we do a later bedtime on those days - basically always aiming for 14 hours sleep over the full day
