My 8 month does not nap on a regular schedule. Right now some days she will have 1 hour and 40 minute nap twice a day with a 30 min cat nap. But some days she will have several 30 minute naps. She starts daycare soon and they are on a two nap per day schedule. I’m just worried she’s going to be so exhausted so it would be ideal if I could get her into that routine now.

I’m not sure how? There doesn’t seem to be any pattern on the day she has the two long naps and just when I think I have it figured out, the next day is a bad nap day.

Right now she’s been getting up at 5 am, bottle and diaper change and back to bed around 7 for two hours. Then she’ll stay up for another two hours and go back down (sometimes for 1 hour and 30 , sometimes just for 30). Then she’s up for another 2-2.5 hours and takes another nap (either a long or short one - there’s no telling). Then she usually goes to bed around 6:30 pm.

I’m wondering if I should be getting her into a regular schedule ... or do I just keep doing what I’m doing ? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
