Try one nap or not??

1 nap from 12 months, 12-2pm, bed 7pm

We had a similar issue where she was skipping second nap at home and nursery and we dropped to one nap, we are a few weeks in and it's working well. She wakes 07.30, naps 1.5-2houes at 12 and then bed about 19.30.

@Ali that sounds great! was it hard to get her to stay awake longer in the morning to reach that later nap?

Or cap the first nap to 20/30 mins

@Adele thats a good idea just a little power nap? so maybe like 10.30 for 30 mins then 1.5-2 hours at 1.30 or 2? The only problem is nursery are really reluctant to wake them up 😭

Yes my little one does that. He’s just turned one and does well with: Wake up between 6/6:30 Nap about 9:30 for 20/30 mins Then he’s awake about 3 and a half - 4 hours (nursery he drops sooner) and we see how long we get out of him in the afternoon but we don’t let him sleep past 3.pm So I think the guidance does say nursery can’t physically wake them but they can do things like make noise, open curtains, talk to them etc.

I had the similar issue as you with the afternoon one creeping later but worked out how he’s older he only needs a short Power Nap as has his night sleep still in him but he defo still needs 2 naps

Thank you I will see what I can do!

My girl has only ever done 1 nap and often no nap 😴 it’s insanity ahaha
