Dropping a nap

Has anyone dropped from 4 to 3 naps? Did it increase the nap lengths? Currently on 4 naps but I feel the last nap is becoming a struggle and sometimes pushing bedtime later. What are your nap/ wake windows like on 3 naps?

We have 3 naps. Wake windows are 2- 2.5 hours (on occasion 3). I find one nap is always at least more than an hour if not 2. We normally do wake around 6:30 then naps around 8:30ish, 12ish, and 4 and then bedtime around 7.

@Lisa how long are your naps? Can't imagine my girl being able to stay awake 2 and a half hours shes hanging tired after an hour and a half but only naps 40 mins at the moment 💀💀

😱😱the dream I’ve no advice mine has decided to drop to only 1 nap 2h… send help. Her brother used to nap loads

@Teri mine is like this. She's only just shifted from 5 to 4 naps as she just won't nap longer than 30 mins so is always exhausted!

I’m a bit in 2 minds as mine also has short naps unless I contact nap and rock her back to sleep after 30 minutes so not sure if she’d manage the longer wake windows

@Teri normally it's 2 naps that are around 40 min and one longer one that often is 90min to 2 hours. Sometimes hard to guess which one the long one will be. If first 2 naps were short last nap tends to be longer but every day is different.

I wish I had advice but naps are still a total fucking wild card in this house, I swear my older two weren't like this! My oldest naps tonnes and slept great at night until he was nearly 4, my daughter dropped naps quicker but still would get a good couple of hours out of her everyday consistently but this boy is just having none of it 😭
